XMBC Version: v2.20.5
Installed or Portable version: Installed
Windows Version: Windows 11 Pro 24H2
Mouse Information (brand/model): KYSONA Uranus Pro Wireless
Relevant Computer Information (CPU, RAM etc): AMD Ryzen 5 5600G, 32 GB
Did the problem occur after an upgrade of XMBC? (If so, from what version?): No
Did the problem occur after a Windows update/upgrade? (If so, from what version?): No
How long have you used XMBC?: 2 months
What language and keyboard layout do you use in Windows?: Korean

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).:

PowerPoint (MS 365) does not support horizontal scroll (except H/W tilt wheel I guess).
There's no keyboard shortcut either. One can do it in Excel by ctrl + shift + wheel at least.
So I've searched and asked AI and found out that

Code: Select all

{SENDWM:0x020E,0,120}
works like right scroll. The problem is that

Code: Select all

{SENDWM:0x020E,0,-120}
is doing the same right scroll, not left scroll as supposed.

How can I make XMBC to send left scroll Windows Message properly?

I've tried all 'Advanced Windows Scrolling' settings, but nothing changed.
And I don't want to depend on AHK, just want to stick to XMBC.


edit:
Of course I've tried {TILTL} and {TILTR}.
They work well in normal (?) apps like Notepad++ but does not work in PowerPoint.
{ALT}{LEFT} / {ALT}{RIGHT} or {BACK} / {FORWARD} does not work in PowerPoint either.
Only {SENDWM:0x020E,0,120} does work in PowerPoint. This is what I managed to find out so far.

I suspect it might not be recognising the minus… it might be possible to stuff in differently but not sure. Also it might be worth checking out the scrolling and navigation tab ;setup a profile for power point)…..

I’m away on vacation right now so it will be tricky to test myself - I don’t have my laptop with office on it so only Remote Desktop!
