Key binding problem

My Necro at the moment is running Hell.  I was not satisfied with the
key bindings to skills, so I tidied them up.  I use the keys,
q,w,e,r,a,s,d,f,z,x,c,v and 5.6.7.8.  I tied various skills to these
keys, and up till yesterday when I sorted them out,  they worked well.
I wanted to put Amp Damage on the left mouse key and CE on the right
key.  Clicking on the left hand skills icon will only bring up Teeth,
Bonespear, Normal attack and Throw.
Can someone  tell me what I'm doing wrong here.  
I'm using a Mac, should that make any difference.  Thanks.

It's no Mac-problem. There are skills available for the left mouse button
and there are skill available for the right mouse button. The curses and
summon skills and CE are all for the right mouse button. Your only choice is
to choose the skills with the hotkey and use right mouse button ( or the
Mac-equivalent of it).
The left mouse button can be used for some poison and bone skills. Best is
to assign bone teeth to the left mouse button, just in case you click
accidentially on a monster. You will cast some useless teeth instead of
walking to the monster and whack it. This can save your life. Teeth is a
prerequisite for CE and won't cost you a skill point (assuming you have no
useful skill for the left mouse button.

Hi Rudi,

I could be wrong but I thought that *all* skills were attributable to the
right mouse button? At least I know that I've assigned Frenzy to the right
before. (Really fun way to play a frenzy barb, just right-click on the
ground and hold it down and steer him towards monsters.)

Cheers,

Thinking about that for a second I find that you are right.

Now, some seconds later I think that under some certain circumstances you
have a skill "attack with left hand" and "attack with right hand".

Now that I'm totally confused I can't remember to which game these two
skills belong. I don't think that it's LOD, but can you check that with your
frenzy barb, just to make sure? I'm at work, so no game at hand.

Hi Rudi,

Yeah, I just fired up my frenzy barb and it works just fine with a different
attack on each mouse button. (I used frenzy on left, berserk on right).

Cheers,

Nope, only attack skills, old friend :)

Hi buddy,

Perhaps we have our left and right mixed up? I thought only attack on left,
all on right. Could be wrong though, I've been wrong once before. <g>

You are of course, correct. This happens to me often, I get left and right
confused. This is a result of the fact that although I was born left-handed,
it was in a part of the world where this was not acceptable, so they forced
me to be right-handed, and now, I am no-handed.... you should see my golf
bag, it confuses everyone.

I think you mean the _left_ button takes only attack skills, and only
targetable ones (i.e., not TS, Hurricane, etc.).
