Touchpad buttons have reversed

[Jamedjo]

What

Using the left touchpad button has randomly started causing a right click and vice versa.

When

I'm not sure of the cause and will close this issue if I can't reproduce it after a restart. It didn't occur previously so could have started after updating sway, but I think it was working when I first started sway this session.

My current commit is formed by merging origin/layer-shell-popups into master at e4bba90, so it could also be to do with that. Previously I was on 36aa67e (master from 17th July) with wlroots at df3f0ffb (master June 28th).

@RedSoxFan Could this be related to #4342?

Uh, it's possible. That sounds like left handed mode. What's your input config and the output of swaymsg -rt get_inputs?

What's your input config

https://github.com/Jamedjo/dotfiles/blob/master/sway/config

That sounds like left handed mode ... output of swaymsg -rt get_inputs?

I noticed that setting and did try running disabled commands but it had no effect. Looking at get_inputs as you suggested confirms this is the problem with "left_handed": "enabled" somehow having been set:

swaymsg -rt get_inputs

Attempts to disable it are still failing but my syntax might be wrong:

~» swaymsg 'input * left_handed disable'
~» swaymsg 'input "1739:31251:SYNA2393:00_06CB:7A13_Touchpad" left_handed disable'

      "left_handed": "enabled",

Yup, it was my fault. Had a typo in my refactor. Sorry about that. See #4394

Thanks for the prompt fix 🎉
