Title: Extra Mouse buttons
Post by: Josellis on August 02, 2007, 01:03:17 pm

I am currently writing my own autoexec.cfg file, so far I have been going well, but I would just like to ask a few things about mouse buttons.

My understanding goes that MOUSE1 is for the left button, MOUSE2 is for the right button and MOUSE3 is for the middle. MSWHEELUP and MSWHEELDOWN is when you scroll up and down respectively. This is, on most mouses, all the buttons there are, but on my mouse, they are an extra four mouse buttons. Two of them scroll up and down (in a significantly different way to the scroll) and the two others do, well other things, like browse through the history in firefox/iexlplorer, and many other things depending on the program I'm using.

What I am here to ask is how can I find what key value those extra mouse buttons have. This value is the one that goes with the bind function (bind <key/button value> <command>.

Thanks

AUX1 through AUX16

See Kevlarman's excellent bind guide here:

However, the extra mouse buttons behave oddly and you may just find yourself unable to get them to work. I have back and forward buttons, but only one of them works (as Aux1). The other won't work in Trem. Fun.

If you've got a Mac, try out USBOverdrive:

Works on any mouse or USB input device and allows for application-specific binds for each mouse button.  Works like a charm in Trem for me.

I have two AUX buttons on my mouse but could never figure out what they should be bound to. Just couldn't find a good use for them.
What are you planning on binding them to?
