Why don't you have these mouse commands?

Post by taylor1277 »

If there isn't a command for it, why don't you have Home or End ( of page ) as a command? I remember at one time in my computer years, you could right click and go to the top of the page or end for the bottom of the page. If these are not commands can they be added?

I am using windows 8.1 x64bit and a Logitech HID compliant mouse. It is a USB wireless mouse. Everything seems to be working okay, I am in the USA. Just thought I would try this program, so far so good. I will make a donation, can you add Home and End? :D

Hi,

There is no distinct Home/End command because you can do that with simulated keystrokes.
In fact you can do lots of things with simulated keystrokes, and its more flexible/configurable than a simple command in the dropdown.
Just use {HOME} or {END} in the simulates keystrokes window, and probably you want to use method 1 or 2 in the "how to send" dropdown in there too.

Thanks,
Phil

Okay, what I want to know is there a way that I can get the mouse to recognize a certain key, let's say I want to set a mouse key for the Caps key. I love this program. If so please tell me, how if I can find directions in the handbook.

In XMBC, you can send any key using simulated keystrokes, but that is all, you cant remap keys. XMBC is for customising the mouse, not the keyboard and as such, there is no ability to configure actions when a keyboard key is pressed. check out Autohotkey if you want to remap keyboard keys.

The only keyboard support, is to have hotkeys/modifier keys to change layers, allowing you to make the mouse buttons do something different if/while a key is held on the keyboard (they key is not remapped and not blocked either).

Thanks,
Phil
