Clear description of the problem - try and include as much information as possible, including what button and mappings you are having problems with (if applicable).:
Hi Peeps,
im trying to control my media volume by scrolling the mouse wheel, but Only if at the same time a button is pressed and held, so i want scrollwheel to act normal (XMBC should not intercept), but if i press e.g. Shift and scroll the wheel, then it should intercept and change general media volume
Is this possible?
Im deeply sorry if this was already asked, i was not able to find a solution on your forums or on google.
Thanks in advance, I love you to the moon and back

Re: Control Media with Wheel only when Button is hold at same time
Hi yes this is possible - two methods depending on exactly what you want...
If by "button" you mean a mouse button, then you can use Button Chording (I wont describe this in detail as I don't think its what you need)
If by "button" you mean a key (as I think is the case since you mentions SHIFT) then the route to take is layers which i will describe in more detail below...
1. Make sure you have (at least) two layers allowed (Settings->General->Number Of Layers) - the default is 3 I think, you can have up to 10 but you only need two for this method.
2. In settings - on the "Modifier Keys" tab, enable modifier keys. For activate layer 2, select "Shift" from the drop down and leave the key accessor set to None.
3. Back on your default profile in the main screen, select layer 2.
4. Set wheel up to Media Volume Up and wheel down to Media Volume Down.
5. Apply the settings.
Now when you press SHIFT, XMBC will switch to layer 2, and the wheel will be remapped to volume up/down.
I hope that helps/works - any questions, let me know.
Regards,
Phil

Re: Control Media with Wheel only when Button is hold at same time
Thats exactly what i needed, thank you so much!
2 Follow up questions:
1) can i also somehow choose keyboard 2 keys instead of 1 to activate the layer? like, e.g. CTRL + SHIFT activates Layer 2?
2) since ive been using your app for years now (even though in the OP i said since "today), do you have a paypal donation set up? Time to give you 1-4 coffees, depending on where u live
EDIT, nevermind question 2, you should get 10 euros soon thanks so much for your program
EDIT2, 10gbp

Re: Control Media with Wheel only when Button is hold at same time
1. Yes you can choose most combinations of keys as layer modifiers. Probably best to select something not commonly used in combination with other mouse buttons - for example, bear in mind that CTRL+Scroll is often used to zoom in/out etc, so using just CTRL would not be a great idea.
In the dropdown, you can select SHIFT+CTRL, and if need be you can also add any "normal" key too, like sh** + Z or SHIFT+CTRL+A etc. etc.
2. Yes got it thanks

Re: Control Media with Wheel only when Button is hold at same time
Thank you so much, and yes, CTRL is propably not the best idea - i went with Shift-Alt now
