Scroll wheel remap to ALT+Scroll wheel

Post by jshrek »

Just wondering if it is possible to use XMouse to remap the Scroll wheel (generic HID device) to ALT+Scroll wheel in one specific program (Adobe Premiere).

On Adobe Premiere for Mac, the Scrollwheel alone works for timeline zoom in/out, but on the Windows version you have to use ALT+Scrollwheel.

I want to know if its possible just use the Scrollwheel and make it think that the ALT key is being held down.

Thanks

Yes that should be possible...
But being the wheel, it may be problematic - because the wheel is not like a button with down and up messages - so it will actually (by default) press and release the ALT key for every scroll message - it might still work (and if not, there may be other ways round it, it just may make things a little more complicated).

Just setup a profile for that app, then remap the scroll wheel using simulated keystrokes to {ALT}{WHEELUP} / {ALT}{WHEELDN} and if that alone dose not work, let me know and I'll think about a slightly more complicated method that should still produce the desired effect!
