is there a way to indicate mouse buttons in keyboard shortcuts

Post by Maseron »

Hi David, is there a way to indicate mouse buttons in keyboard shortcuts? I wanted to rebind my mouse's Back/Forward buttons to scroll up/down search results instead of History, but found no easy way to do so (v1.5.0.1305a). Not a big deal for in this case (I just emulated PageDown/PageUp keyboard values for these buttons in my mouse management software), but I thought I'd raise the subject anyway.

I will look into an option to do this.



To set your back/forward buttons to select prev/next: (not quite what you want)
  • In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
    /xbutton1_action=4
  • Type in the following search and press ENTER:
    /xbutton2_action=3
mouse_wheel_action
xbutton1_action
xbutton2_action

Everything 1.5.0.1314a adds more actions to xbutton1_action, xbutton2_action and mbutton_action.



To set Everything to scroll up/down a page at a time with xbutton1 and xbutton2:
  • In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
    /xbutton1_action=12
  • Type in the following search and press ENTER:
    /xbutton2_action=11

To set Everything to select the item a page up/down with xbutton1 and xbutton2:
  • In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
    /xbutton1_action=14
  • Type in the following search and press ENTER:
    /xbutton2_action=13


I have also added support for all command ids to xbutton1_action, xbutton2_action and mbutton_action.
