(Solved) Left hand mouse

I just started using #!, moved from Mint/Ubuntu world.  In Xfce, Gnome, KDE it's easy to change the buttons on the mouse for a lefty.  How can I do this in Openbox?

Re: (Solved) Left hand mouse

that can be achieved easily using xmodmap
type xmodmap -pp in a terminal and switch button 1 and 3
in my case xmodmap -pp had 13 buttons, so i switched the order of 1 and 3 like i said and now i have a lefty mouse configuration
xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13"
and if you find a configuration that works for you just add that line to autostart.sh and you'll be great
