Is there a way to indicate mouse buttons in keyboard shortcuts?

Post by samsonwilliams »

Hi, is there a way to indicate mouse buttons in keyboard shortcuts? I wanted to rebind my mouse's Back/Forward buttons to scroll up/down search results instead of History, but found no easy way to do so (v1.5.0.1305a). Not a big deal for in this case (I just emulated PageDown/PageUp keyboard values for these buttons in my mouse management software), but I thought I'd raise the subject anyway.

To show mouse bindings:
In Everything 1.5, type in the following search and press ENTER:
about:keys

Mouse bindings are shown at the bottom.



To set the back button to page down:
  • Copy and paste the following into your Everything search box:
    /xbutton1_action=12
  • Press ENTER in your Everything search box.
  • If successful, xbutton1_action=12 is shown in the status bar for a few seconds.


To set the forward button to page up:
  • Copy and paste the following into your Everything search box:
    /xbutton2_action=11
  • Press ENTER in your Everything search box.
  • If successful, xbutton2_action=11 is shown in the status bar for a few seconds.


These bindings are easier to set with the latest 1.5 version under Tools -> Options -> Advanced.
