Left-handed mouse support

Hi guys,

I'm a leftie. I use my mouse with my left hand (confusing the shit out of anyone trying to use my computer :D).
Unfortunately, Automation does not support the left-handed mouse setting from windows, meaning that I always have to "right click" (i.e. not use my index finger) for a regular click and vice versa.

Could you please look into this issue and support left-hand button settings in the future? :)

Huh... never thought of that one. Caswal is left handed but uses his mouse righthanded so we never encountered it. We'll look into sorting that out :)

Re: Left-handed mouse support

Thanks a lot. :) Gotta use the opportunity to talk to the actual developers of a game. Mind you, you're not the only ones who forget cases like mine. Happens even with AAA games. One does get kinda used to it, though.

Re: Left-handed mouse support

Honestly, most OS's have a built in Left Handed Mouse support, so it shouldn't be that of the game to handle.

If you are on Windows, goto:

Control Panel --> Mouse --> [Buttons Tab] and select "Switch primary and secondary buttons".

That should follow over to any game/program you use.

Re: Left-handed mouse support

I'm a lefty(with mouse on left side) and have always used my ring finger to left-click, middle finger on scroll wheel, index finger on right click. I seriously had no idea that there was a "left handed option".
