Difficulty Remapping Mouse Back Button to Left Shift on Arch Linux

Hello

I'm attempting to remap my mouse's back button (logitech M650 L) to function as the Left Shift key on my Arch Linux system running KDE. Despite exploring various tools and configurations, I haven't been able to achieve the desired functionality.

System Details:

Distribution: Arch Linux

Desktop Environment: KDE Plasma

Mouse: Logitech USB Receiver Mouse ( logitech M650 L)

Tools and Methods Attempted:

1. xremap:

Issue: Encountered configuration errors related to the device field, preventing successful remapping.

2. xbindkeys with xvkbd/xautomatio:

Issue: only registers single click not hold and xautomation makes keybourd stop working

3. kde build in feature
issue: same as xbindkeys

4. keyd
issue : same as xbindkeys

5. input-remapper

issue: same as xbindkeys

6. solaar
issue: same as xbindkeys

Re: Difficulty Remapping Mouse Back Button to Left Shift on Arch Linux

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Input_remap_utilities

Also

xbindkeys with xvkbd/xautomatio:

detail what you actually tried, b/c you'd have to specifically map button and button + Release to eg. xdotool keydown/keyup actions

Re: Difficulty Remapping Mouse Back Button to Left Shift on Arch Linux

Here is my xbindkeys i used gui application of xbindkeys_config-gtk

###########################
# xbindkeys configuration #
###########################
#
# Version: 0.1.4
#
# If you edit this, do not forget to uncomment any lines that you change.
# The pound(#) symbol may be used anywhere for comments.
#
# A list of keys is in /usr/include/X11/keysym.h and in
# /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h 
# The XK_ is not needed. 
#
# List of modifier (on my keyboard): 
#   Control, Shift, Mod1 (Alt), Mod2 (NumLock), 
#   Mod3 (CapsLock), Mod4, Mod5 (Scroll). 
#
# Another way to specifie a key is to use 'xev' and set the 
# keycode with c:nnn or the modifier with m:nnn where nnn is 
# the keycode or the state returned by xev 
#
# This file is created by xbindkey_config 
# The structure is : 
# # Remark 
# "command" 
# m:xxx + c:xxx 
# Shift+... 




#keystate_numlock = enable
#keystate_scrolllock = enable
#keystate_capslock = enable



# Pressing the back button down
"xte 'keydown Shift_L'"
    m:0x0 + b:8   (mouse)
    "wU 

#
# End of xbindkeys configuration

also i tried evremap here is its config 

[Unit]
Description=evremap service
After=multi-user.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/evremap -c /home/your_username/.config/evremap/config.toml
Restart=always
User=root

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

if need any other please tell i really need to get this off to complete my switch to linux completely

Re: Difficulty Remapping Mouse Back Button to Left Shift on Arch Linux

That's a systemd service to start evremap, but not the evremap config.
And if you didn't replace what looks like a placeholder in "/home/your_username/.config/evremap/config.toml", that will fail, too.

Also 

# Pressing the back button down
"xte 'keydown Shift_L'"
    m:0x0 + b:8   (mouse)
    "wU 

#

doesn't look like valid xbindkeys syntax, there's what looks like a stray ""wU" and I also doubt that you can add the "(mouse)" comment (?) there, so I assume xbindkeys refuses to start with an error?
And, as mentioned, you'll need a second entry for the release.

Re: Difficulty Remapping Mouse Back Button to Left Shift on Arch Linux

sorry you are correct i had saved the config in a seperate file been submiting it into github issues here is the correct file  ~/.config/evremap/config.toml 

[[device]]
name = "Logitech USB Receiver Mouse"  # Replace with your mouse's exact device name

[device.remap]
BTN_SIDE = ["KEY_LEFTSHIFT"]

and i use this gtk for xkeybinds https://github.com/rgeorgiev583/xbindkeys_config

the previous file ~/.xbindkeysrc is edited using above gtk tool

Re: Difficulty Remapping Mouse Back Button to Left Shift on Arch Linux

That isn't a valid evremap config, https://github.com/wez/evremap/blob/mas … remap.toml
And whatever tool you used to edit the xbindkeys config is less important than what it looks like.
And you've not addressed whether either daemon actually starts up, notably w/ the bogus path in the evremap service.

This is going nowhere.
I assume you don't speak english?
https://deepl.com/ does.

Re: Difficulty Remapping Mouse Back Button to Left Shift on Arch Linux

i have done some changes to evremap config also i am using this command 

sudo evremap remap .config/evremap/evremap.toml

to test the remap i have not yet copied the config to /etc/evremap.toml which the systemd service use

here is the new config but it is still not able to produce any result heck even the single click does not work

device_name = "Logitech USB Receiver Mouse"  # Replace with your mouse's exact device name
phys = "usb-0000:00:14.0-2/input1"

[device.remap]
input = ["BTN_THUMB2"]
output = ["KEY_LEFTSHIFT"]

Re: Difficulty Remapping Mouse Back Button to Left Shift on Arch Linux

Which
a) does still not look like the example pattern and
b) "replace with…" gives me some pause - is that actually the relevant device?

lsusb -tv
sudo evtest # will print the device names, edit: and also the proper event for the button, sure it's BTN_THUMB2?

Re: Difficulty Remapping Mouse Back Button to Left Shift on Arch Linux

Remove the "phys" line, make sure evremap is actually running and doesn't fail w/ some error and test the input w/ "libinput debug-events"

Only if evremap is actually running

Run "sudo libinput debug-events" and press the mouse button, does that register as KEYBOARD_KEY press/release?

Re: Difficulty Remapping Mouse Back Button to Left Shift on Arch Linux

evremap fires a key twice, each time it's down only 23 ms resp. 8 ms so either your mouse or evremap bounces.
Do you have more luck w/ "[[dual_role]]" and "hold ="?

Re: Difficulty Remapping Mouse Back Button to Left Shift on Arch Linux

yeah i tried those it registers as 2 seperate clicks together not a click when click and hold when hold here is the config 

# Configuration file for evremap

device_name = "Logitech USB Receiver Mouse"  # Replace with your mouse's exact device name

[[dual_role]]
input = "BTN_SIDE"
hold = ["KEY_LEFTSHIFT"]
tap = ["KEY_LEFTSHIFT"]

Re: Difficulty Remapping Mouse Back Button to Left Shift on Arch Linux

Don't configure the tap as left shift?

Btw, the tool of choice seems to be keyd, have you actually tried that?

Re: Difficulty Remapping Mouse Back Button to Left Shift on Arch Linux

Disable  any mapper, run "sudo linput debug-events", press the desired mouse button. Hold it for ~30 seconds. Then release it. Post the libinput output.
Then enable your keyd setting, boot into an X1 session and run "xev -event keyboard -event mouse", try to enter "A" using the mouse as shift. Post that output, too.
(in case: "… |& tee output_copy.txt")

Re: Difficulty Remapping Mouse Back Button to Left Shift on Arch Linux

i think the mouse desined to not show hold … checked it in windows too if i uninstall logi option + the mouse cannot register hold

in second attempt i clicked the mouse side button it got registered

What changed between those attempts? Do the click register erratically tbw?
It could be that the button switch is bogus and either doesn't fire at all or bounces?

in presence of linux logitech devil

In presence of what?

Re: Difficulty Remapping Mouse Back Button to Left Shift on Arch Linux

I found the problem it's horizontal scrolling if i disable it through logi + software the problem goes away just need to know how to implement same thing in linux

(in presence of linux logitech devil)
oh this was just a phrase meaning logitech is the devil and don't want to worship the peigwin god
