After editing keys file in ~/.fluxbox or using fluxkeys to add/edit keys, left mouse button is not working in fluxbox. i am unable to left click and start any application from menu or left click on any web link. I have tried removing the keys file and it happens every time. At times, after editing using fluxkeys as soon as I save, the fluxkeys window closes on its and gives segmentation error after which keys file is blank and hence u cannot use any key or mouse button the next time you start fluxbox.
Also, I wanted mod4 (windows key) alone (without any other key) to be used for RootMenu and assigned it, but it does not work. Also, mod4 does not work with grave ` key.
How can we interchange the right and left mouse buttons. I use it with my left hand.

This is really wierd. Left click is completely useless after editing fluxkeys and how can one live without customizing the keys!!!!
After few trials, I learned that if you edit ~/.fluxbox/keys file from within fluxbox either manually or using fluxkeys, left button of mouse is rendered useless. Is that a bug?

Same problem here too: I already had succesfully added some custom keys in my .fluxbox/keys a couple of months ago without any problem, now I have tried fluxkeys and left mouse key stopped working...

It seems to be a bug in fluxkeys. It's output files looks like this:
None Mouse1top :HideMenus
None Mouse2top :WorkspaceMenu
None Mouse3top :RootMenu
None Mouse4top :NextWorkspace
None Mouse5top :PrevWorkspaceBut it should be modified into something like this:
OnDesktop Mouse1 :HideMenus
OnDesktop Mouse2 :WorkspaceMenu
OnDesktop Mouse3 :RootMenu
OnDesktop Mouse4 :NextWorkspace
OnDesktop Mouse5 :PrevWorkspaceAfter this fix everything is ok here.

Same problem here, it gets even worse when adding a ExecCommand shortcut the generate keys file is totally blank..

When I used fluxconf I had this same problem where the left key wouldn't work. Restarting X wouldn't fix it, but deleting .fluxbox/keys and restarting reset everything.
After that, using gvim I was able to change all Mod1 entries to Mod4, and added Mod4 grave :exec fbrun
Everything was fine for me after that, so I guess it's fluxconf?

Correct. fluxconf is buggy and not maintained anymore. Editing the config files by hand is the best way.
