Request: Mouse back button move focus back to last task

[Cameron Matthews]

Hi,

I've searched this forum and the settings but can't find a way to make the mouse back button work.  

I'd like for the back button to do the same thing that Alt+Left Arrow does: it goes back to the last task that had focus.

Any ideas or would this be a new functionality request?

Thanks!

Cameron

My mouse doesn't have a "back" button. Is your mouse prgrammable? If you go into your mouse settings app, can you assign a key combination to this button?

Hi Steph,

I'm using a stock Microsoft mouse.  The back button is on the lefthand side of the mouse.  It is normally mapped to some sort of "back" notion in the app.  For a browser, it takes you back one page.  Etc.

Having said that, I'll definitely check into mapping a key combination with a mouse event.

Thanks!

hi

It's possible to do with autohotkey. 

1) Download and install autohotkey. You can take it from here:

https://www.autohotkey.com/download/ahk-install.exe

2) run the attached file 

(it's a script which sends Alt+Left Arrow to MLO when you press the Mouse Back button).

That's it.

Best wishes

Andrew
