Could use a NO-OP option

Post by Sync »

Nice little app, BUT-- it could really use a real "Do Nothing" (but DO intercept). The whole reason I needed this is because center-mouse click tends to occur accidentally while using the scroll wheel and that's been REALLY annoying. Since I never use the center button for anything anyway, all I want to do is completely DISABLE it so that it will be just a scroll wheel and nothing else. What I ended up doing is using "Media - Stop" because I usually don't have media running on this box, or if I do I'm probably not scrolling so it seemed like the most "do nothing" option I could find. But I was rather surprised to find there's no option to *really* Do Nothing (because your "Do Nothing" actually DOES SOMETHING-- it passes the event through-- does whatever is the default for the button).

I'm not alone looking for some way to disable a mouse button, and in particular the center button-- perhaps there's another way but I found others asking the question out on the web and finally got the idea to look for alternative mouse "drivers" (I realize yours isn't a driver, but it came up in such a search anyway, and seems to address the problem)...

I would also think some people might want to configure a keystroke sequence-- though I realize that's a bit more troublesome to implement, I would think a real Do Nothing would be pretty simple...

Maybe I'm missing something but that is what the "Disable" action is for :)

Thanks,

I'm not sure what you mean in your last sentence..

If you mean send a sequence of keys when you press a mouse button, you can already do that - its called "Simulate keystroke" and you can put as many keys as you want in there!

Thanks again,
Phil
