Do you really mean left, or do you actually mean primary button? Or is
the left button your "right click" i.e. secondary button?

As a general moan, certainly not aimed at any particular piece of
software but it's as good a time as any to remind people, it's really
annoying to read dexter-centric user documentation (-:

"Click" and "right click" is just about okay for me as I instinctively
"right click" with the left button, but "left click" makes me think and
that's when I start to get confused, when the brain tries to over-ride
instinct.

Admittedly, hardware is generally more of a problem than software -- I
find it almost impossible to answer my mobile because the call button is
obscured by my palm and the buttons can't be swapped: thank goodness the
trend for handed mouses died out in the 90s.

We'll only ever be a minority of users, but we are sizeable minority and
we have been oppressed for centuries, please don't continue the
oppression q-:

Sinistrally yours
