So you want the right button to be red (select) and the left button to 
be yellow (context menu), correct? (while leaving the middle/wheel 
button as blue/halo).

You don't say what OS you're using, but it sounds like the Windows VM.

There is a lookup table (InputSensor class var ButtonDecodeTable) that 
I put in for the swap buttons preference. You can change its contents 
if you wish to swap the red and yellow buttons.

Look at InputSensor class>>installMouseDecodeTable for how I swapped 
the lowest-order two bits, and just make it swap bits 1 and 2 (masks 
2 and 4) instead.

The mouse bit masks are:
		2	-	yellow button
		1	-	blue button
		4	-	red button

So this would work (if you also turn on the swapMouseButton 
preference), I think:

InputSensor class>>swapYellowAndRedButtons
	"InputSensor swapYellowAndRedButtons"
	ButtonDecodeTable _ ButtonDecodeTable collect: [:ea |
								((ea bitAnd: 2) << 1
									bitOr: (ea bitAnd: 4) >> 1)
										bitOr: (ea bitAnd: 16rFD)]

Or something like it should, anyway.
