I frequently switch between using an external moust in left-hand mode and
my laptop touch pad which I use in a modified right-hand 2 button mode.
I've attached two shell scripts, left_hand and 2b_mouse, which you can
probably modify to suit your needs. Both make use of xmodmap(1).

Set up for two button mouse. This is handy for people that
do a lot of X windows copy and paste. Left button remains
the select button, and right button becomes the paste
button. To get button 3, you need to simultaneously press
both buttons.
-h Print this message."
