#!/bin/bash
#this script switches between two or more mapping for your unifying Logitech device
#you need to manually edit the device name, since i couldn't automate this command
#to know your current mapping use >xev< command, for your device list use >xinput list<


#to add an option, just add a new "elif"
#this has been done for M505, but should work for others

#looking for device ID

echo "check using >xinput list< command first"
echo -e "your mice ID is : \033[0;0m$ids\033[0;36m"
echo "option 1 is remapped settings : custom left/right click"
echo "option 2 is default mappig!"
read -p 'option 1/2? (anything else to exit):' opt0

Go on the desktop, right clic and choose "create a launcher":
Aller sur le bureau, faire un clic droit et choisir "créer un lanceur":

How the scrip looks and work : 
Comment le script se présente et fonctionne : 

if invalid number is choosen : (to exit or by mistake)
si un nombre non prévu est saisi : (pour quitter ou par erreur)

Known issues / problèmes connus: 
with opt1, holding left-roller doesn't behave as holding the left clic (in fact it react as a doucle left clic...)

avec l'option 1, le maintien du clic roulette-gauche ne se comporte pas comme un clic gauche maintenu (en fait il réagit comme un double clic gauche!)

Enjoy !
