How do I swap primary and secondary mouse buttons from the command line or by using a hotkey without...
My eight-year-old son is left-handed and I am right-handed. I wish to be able to quickly and easily switch primary and secondary mouse buttons from the command line. We use Windows 10. I found this, which provides c and C#* solutions. I found this which provides a solution which does require rebooting, and also provides a link to the Stack Overflow answer. However, it seems to me that this should be possible to do without resorting to a compiled language. I would be happy with a solution using PowerShell, Python, Perl, a nircmd utility, etc., but I'd rather not resort to a compiled language.
Thank you for your help.
- FYI if you're interested: the language name apparently uses the "#" (U+0023 # NUMBER SIGN) character, not the "♯" (U+266F ♯ MUSIC SHARP SIGN) character, even though its name is pronounced C Sharp. cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_Sharp_(programming_language)#Name.
Edit: Changed question to add "...or by using a hotkey...", since I ultimately wanted to do this with an Autohotkey hotkey; it turns out that Autohotkey can do the swap itself. I was assuming that the answer would be e.g. a Powershell script, which I would invoke by using an Autohotkey hotkey. See the accepted answer.

Would you be ok with an AutoHotkey script. Would be pretty easy to make a toggle function.

I have seen examples of VBS windows API hacks where you automate excel by attaching a temp function, but that is hairy IMO

Confuzing, Autohotkey would be fine. I use it for a lot (for example, while composing this question I modified my normal script so that I can type ";sharp" and it will insert a sharp symbol). I did not know that Autohotkey could do this. I can probably figure it out myself at this point. Thank you very much

Here is what I came up with for AHK. Just toggles rebinding the mouse buttons with ctrl+alt+m
swap:
swap=false

swap := !swap

Thanks a lot! I hadn't had a chance to get back to this and write it myself, but you saved me the trouble. Sorry to put you to the trouble, I could have figured it out once you pointed me in the direction of AHK. I dropped this into my standard AHK script which runs at startup, used a different key (I normally use ^#! for my AHK hotkeys, but ^#!m is already used by Remember the Milk, so I used ^#!s, for swap) and it works great. I'm sorry I can't upvote; or rather, I upvoted but it doesn't count, because I have <15 reputation, so my opinion is recorded but not displayed.

@Confuzing, very nice solution. Only one question, it's always started as left handed, do you know how to make it start as right handed by default. I was trying to changeswap=false, but that doesn't help. Thanks!

@electroid Changing swap to true should have worked. But you could change the '#if !swap' to '#if swap', or probably even easier to just reverse them in Windows mouse settings.

This is the answer, which was posted on https://superuser.com/a/1357020/790554.
This is the Autohotkey version (modified/based on https://github.com/jNizM/AHK_DllCall_WinAPI/blob/master/src/Mouse%20Input%20Functions/SwapMouseButton.ahk).
; autohotkey code - mapped to F12
F12::
buttonState := DllCall("user32.dllSwapMouseButton", "UInt", 1)
if buttonState <> 0
{
buttonState := DllCall("user32.dllSwapMouseButton", "UInt", 0)
}
This works fine with all Windows (including Windows 10). I usually map it to a hotkey such as "F12" key on my keyboard (using Autohotkey), and I can toggle between left and right mouse button instantly with press of a key.

This is the answer, which was posted on https://superuser.com/a/1357020/790554.
This is the Autohotkey version (modified/based on https://github.com/jNizM/AHK_DllCall_WinAPI/blob/master/src/Mouse%20Input%20Functions/SwapMouseButton.ahk).
; autohotkey code - mapped to F12
F12::
buttonState := DllCall("user32.dllSwapMouseButton", "UInt", 1)
if buttonState <> 0
{
buttonState := DllCall("user32.dllSwapMouseButton", "UInt", 0)
}
This works fine with all Windows (including Windows 10). I usually map it to a hotkey such as "F12" key on my keyboard (using Autohotkey), and I can toggle between left and right mouse button instantly with press of a key.

Would you be ok with an AutoHotkey script. Would be pretty easy to make a toggle function.

Although this isn't guaranteed to work with all programs.

I have never done this, and I don't know powershell well, but look at
DLLImportand see, for example, ( stackoverflow.com/questions/24391367 ). Put that together with the info from your C# example. I have seen examples of VBS windows API hacks where you automate excel by attaching a temp function, but that is hairy IMO– Yorik

Confuzing, Autohotkey would be fine. I use it for a lot (for example, while composing this question I modified my normal script so that I can type ";sharp" and it will insert a sharp symbol). I did not know that Autohotkey could do this. I can probably figure it out myself at this point. Thank you very much

Yorick, thank you very much. I will probably go the AHK route.
