[winswitch] Default settings for features in Mac Xpra

[Perry E. Metzger via shifter-users]

Howdy!

On my Mac, the Xpra menu features several "features", like swapping
the control and command key (which I want to disable) and inverting
the direction of the mouse wheel (which I'd like to enable). I'm not
clear on what to set in my xpra.conf to do these things. I tried
"xpra showconfig" but nothing popped out at me. Is there a good place
(even in the source!) to look at these settings?

xpra showconfig | egrep -i "wheel|swap"
Should show:
mousewheel = 'on'
swap-keys = True

You can override these settings on the command line or place them in
your xpra.conf:
echo "mousewheel = invert-y" >> ~/.xpra/xpra.conf
echo "swap-keys = no" >> ~/.xpra/xpra.conf

Then running that same command again should now show:
mousewheel = 'invert-y'
swap-keys = False

These options are shown in the command line help:
xpra -h
It was missing from the manual, but this has been rectified and will be
in the next version, in the meantime you can use the online version:

Cheers,
Antoine
