Is it possible to swap mouse buttons on a webpage?

Question

On my website, I want to swap the secondary and primary mouse buttons. In other words I want to switch the mouse button functionality and make the right click work as left click and vise-versa. My website is for left handed people. Is there anyone who can one suggest me a way? if it is possible.

The technique should be compatible with all browsers.

Answer 1

Some of the left-handed people change their system click settings. So, on other forums people have discouraged me to add this feature into a website because it can reverse the change they commited on their systems.

Instead I have added a notice telling all visitor that how to change mouse settings in windows and mac.

Answer 2

What hand do you use to control your computer's mouse? Most computers are set by default to have the mouse to the right. This can be useful for lefties if you are taking notes or writing while you are also using the mouse, as you can do it with your left hand.

On the other hand (!) Most lefties have better fine control with their left hand, so they would prefer to have the mouse to the left. Some lefties simply put the mouse to the left and leave the buttons set to their default value, with the main "click" button still being the left one and using it with your middle finger (this does not apply to Apple Macs that do not have 2 buttons mouse).

It is more common to change the mouse buttons, so the left index finger still makes the main click and this can easily be done in Windows ... Home / Settings / Control panel / Mouse / and in the Buttons tab, check the box "Change primary and secondary buttons"

This can cause problems if you share the computer with a right-handed person. Mauricio Tejada in Japan has produced an intelligent utility that allows him to instantly exchange the mouse buttons with left or right handed users simply by pressing Ctrl-F12 instead of going through the Windows Control Panel.
