Support mouse shortcuts? #136
Comments
You are the first to ask for it. It's an interesting feature to have indeed. |
Something to consider as well is the potential redundancy of such customization. Indeed, users could use tools such as BTT to rebind a trigger to another trigger (e.g. mouse motion to keyboard shortcut). It reminds me a bit of every app exposing a sound volume, when there is a central volume UI. And if you need per-app volume controls, you can use an app like Sound Control. Same thing for every game exposing FPS, resolution, etc, when in some cases it can be tweaked at the GPU drivers level. It's a tradeoff between the app giving full control and not needing external software vs the added complexity and lack of efficiency of letting centralized utility apps handling this. |
I'm not sure whether global shortcut with a mouse button is something achievable without using private API (a big no-no, as SR must be MAS-safe). But it may be useful for local shortcut handling in apps like editors and IDEs. |
Hi,
A user of AltTab mentioned they would like to bind some shortcut to the mouse middle-click. After considering their request, I started wondering if you had considered supporting mouse-interactions, maybe even other triggers. BetterTouchTool for instance supports all these trigger types:
I couldn't find any issue with the word "mouse", so I assumed it was never discussed before. Just curious to get your perspective on this. I'm thinking that there are a very large number of complexities introduced by adding more trigger types, but I wanted to hear from you in any case.
Thanks!
