Interesting! I had to deal with a related problem several times — I often want this from my Logitech mouse:
> I discovered that the side buttons emitted standard M4 and M5 commands just as they did in Windows
But there's no way of setting that up in Logitech's ‘Control Center’; ‘middle click’ is as fancy as that gets. If I'm lucky, I can use Control Center to set up a custom configuration for the specific application in question and make mouse buttons emulate keyboard events, then map those hotkeys to the desired actions within the application. But if the program doesn't allow custom hotkeys for triggering something that's meant to be done with extra mouse buttons, I'm pretty much out of luck.
You don't even get the standard mouse button events when you don't install Control Center at all — then the extra buttons (on my particular older model; no idea about current Logitech products) do nothing at all :(
So the funny thing is: I'd need a ‘sensible side buttons’ hack that does the exact opposite of this one.
- brirec 6y agoI can recommend Steermouse[0]. It gave me control over the upper buttons on my Kensington Slimblade
- voltaireodactyl 6y ago+1 for Steermouse — I find it to be the perfect midway point between something basic like Sensible, and something highly complex like USB overdrive.
