Como Configurar X Mouse Button Control
Marika Szala
Specifically, I like to make one of them just the Ctrl key (for control clicking webpages) and another one Ctrl+W to close tabs. I also normally make the scroll wheel page down for each click (otherwise it hurts my arms to be scrolling so much). I make pushing the wheel to the left = pageback and pushing to the right = page forward.
But when I posted a followup post to solve the issue, no one responded --perhaps I made the mistake of posting to a question that had been "solved." I'm not sure how I'm supposed to reopen a question that is pertinent to my question but doesn't quite solve mine.
You need to find the button numbers for the buttons on your mouse. Run xev. You will see a litle white windows appear, put your mouse in it and press your mouse buttons (it's best to do this one button at a time). You should get output like this for each button:
Next we need to add the key/button bindings to the config file. You can open this file with gedit $HOME/.xbindkeysrc. This is where the fun begins. We are going to use xte to set bindings to our buttons.
Unfortunately, this can trick some games to use that controller instead of mouse & keyboard. This can (rarely) cause some games that don't have internal controller settings to become unplayable until this service is shut off.
I followed the @Seth's instructions, but the binding I wanted was to for the thumb button an the M705 to do CTRL + Left-click (for opening links in a new tab in chrome browser). The binding I needed to add was this:
You should install Solaar, a Linux tool that allows you to manage Logitech Unifying Receiver mice and keyboards, that comes with both a GUI and command line interface. To do that add the following repository and install by executing the following commands:
This will allow you to increase and maximize you mouse's DPI, monitor battery, enable smooth scrolling and side scrolling. To get the multi window and zoom button working you can visit this site which walks you through the easy steps to get the functionality you are looking for:
I too have the g700s gaming mouse. The good news is that it was expensive (for a mouse) and the manufacture actually built it to a high standard. The functions for the mouse are stored in the mouse. The bad news is to configure it correctly you need to use the logitech software that only runs in windows.
So...basically you need to plug the mouse into a windows box, and configure it exactly how you want it. I'd recommend utilizing the switch profiles function so you can set it up good for normal usage, ie: running your linux desktop, compiz functions (switching apps, switching workspaces, toggling maximize, etc), and then make another profile for gaming (possibly with a different refresh rate) and the gaming buttons. As for compiz consider setting the 4 side thumbs buttons to alt, ctl, shift, superkey, as this will make using switching easier with the scroll wheel. alt + scroll wheel up becomes thumb button 1 + scroll wheel up.
The key bindings described above works great, but consider battlefield 4 also has a terrible time recognizing the mouse as a mouse with 10 buttons so for that I had to map my 4 thumb buttons to = , \ and ;. But obviously in linux this is silly, and to re-bind the = key to "next app" is a lesson in futility, especially when coding hahahaha.
type can be other than keystroke, and code can be other than PageUp, value is 1 for pressed and 0 for releasedyes, your mouse can trigger keystrokes, the system will interpret it the same as keyboards, its all just events from event devices.
Finally, log out and in again from the desktop for these changes to take effect. You can now scroll up and down in browsers and other programs by pressing and holding the mouse back and forward buttons.
Lomoco is included in Ubuntu Software Center and specifically is designed to deal with Logitech Mouse vendor-specific customizations. It can possibly accomplish some of the things you are trying to do.
So I have been using my performance MX on my ubuntu machine for about 6 months. I left most buttons default, but I did go ahead and make the thumb button the Super key which is handier than going to the top left corner of the screen in gnome. And I made the zoom button a control button. But it is set to turn on CTRL and turn off CTRL with separate clicks. This really helps since I have one 4K display and one 1080, so I can click the zoom button once, scroll the wheel to zoom in and out fo web pages, and when I have the web page scaled how I want, I click the zoom again. Here is my xbindkeysrc settings:
Actualmente existen muchas marcas y modelos de mouse que adems de las teclas ya conocidas (botn izquierdo, botn derecho y scroll) incluyen 1 o ms teclas adicionales. EN algunos casos vienen preconfiguradas con funciones como "Atrs" "Adelante" etc... Con el software que les dejo a continuacin podemos configurar estas teclas adicionales a nuestro gusto. Entonces, debemos descargar el software oficial desde el sitio. Cabe destacar que es gratuito y es compatible con Windows 2000, XP, 2003, 2003 R2, Vista, 2008, 2008 R2 y 7.
By default, the fill color of a Button control will dim by 20% when you hover over it with a mouse. You can adjust this behavior by changing the HoverFill property, which uses the ColorFade function. If you set the ColorFade formula to a positive percentage, the color becomes lighter when you hover over the button, while a negative percentage makes the color darker.
Hi. I'm loving Autocad 2012 on my Macbook Pro Retina (although, it is not yet supporting Retina Display). The problem is, I want to be able to pan using magic mouse but, there seems to be no option for this. If I use two finger swipe, it switches between desktops.
I'm disliking the navigating too, but instead of the spacebar, I have to hold down the Command button at the same time. The problem with that is it takes me out of Model Space and into Paper Space. Two double clicks to get back in and all is well, but it took a while, and when you're concentrating on eg, dimensioning, you don't always notice.
My other problem bugged me so much I went out and got a (insert feeling of embarassment here) Logitech wheel mouse, and that was trying to control the zoom rate. When it's set as slow as possible, it's too slow for everything else and when it's in AutoCAD, it's ok but most of the time it takes 3 or 4 swipes on the scroll to get it to move. The wheel mouse was ok, but zoom control doesn't work well, even tho it's an expensive mouse, and exchanging it for a new one brought the same problem. (let go of the wheel and it bounces back a little...or a lot... from the direction in which you zoomed). I think I'll take the magic mouse...
Actually, I really dislike navigating in autocad for the mac. I have an app that allows me to simulate commands with my magic mouse by using gestures. For example, I've set it up so that two finger click means middle click. It even works when using my virtualized windows version of autocad. However, of all my apps, there's one that's incomplatible: AutoCAD for the mac.
I work with auto cad 2014, and have the same problem as you: i cant ''pan'' with my magic mouse without pressing the spacebar. So, like you said, i've installed the application, and yet i dont know which funcions i should turn on, so that I can be able to pan with the mouse.
I'm running Launchbox on two PCs at the moment, one that I'll use in my upcoming Recroom Master's Gameplay cabinet build and one that mimics it, just used for testing purposes. I want to set up an Xbox controller on the test PC just so I can get a feel for using LaunchBox and MAME in general. How do I go about mapping the controller to work within LaunchBox so i can scroll through games and select one to play? I imagine this will be similar to how I'll map the control panel joystick and buttons once I get the cabinet built, but I'm not sure how to start.
I didn't really want to use the keyboard when I get my cabinet built, was hoping to boot right into Launchbox and just control with the joystick, but I'll see how it goes. Is BigBox better setup to handle joystick and arcade controls better than regular Launchbox?
Yes, it is a bit easier to move around in BigBox with a controller/Arcade controls. BigBox is really more of the arcade cabinet version on Launchbox. So I would recommend that more for a cabinet. You can move around in Launchbox with a controller. I do it with an Xbox One and an 8Bitdo controller so it is not impossible or cumbersome. However, LB is more like the pc front end version and BB the arcade cabinet frontend version.
Makes sense, thank you. I just played around and have my xbox one controller working to play games in MAME on my PC, but I don't have it working within launchbox quite yet. I am going to pay for BigBox and use that on my PC that's going into the Recroom Maters Cabinet.
Once I have that cabinet, I suppose I just plug in the control panel to my PC, open BigBox and configure the controls from there? Once I have that, I still need to go into MAME to configure the game controls though, correct?
Once I'm done playing, I suppose there's not really a way to shut down the PC itself with the control panel, I'd still need to exit BigBox with the mouse/keyboard and close down windows. Am I understanding this correctly?
