binding my telescope to my side button on my mouse??

[Wym]

Hi is there a way of binding my telescope to my side button on my mouse(mouse 4)??

Not at the moment. Keybindings will be editable in the future though.

I use AutoHotKey, with this script:

 

XButton1::Shift
return

 XButton1 is a synonym for Mouse Button 3, and XButton2 is for button 4.

So autohotkey is a program?? could u plz elaborate on how or what to do(preferably step by step)??I guess that XButton3 is used for mouse button 5 also?

 thx in advance Wym

Yes, it's a program for remapping keys and buttons and automating key sequences.

Install it according to their directions. The script I included just maps that mouse button to the shift key... replace their sample script with it.

Let me know if you run into trouble.

I've tried the software for my Razor mouse to no avail....I've looked at autohotkey and I'm stumped..... so a step by step guide would be good if you get the time

Thx in advance

Ok, in about 12 hours.

Here are there instructions for a simple script, the "Creating a Script" section:

If that works for you, just do the same steps again, this time use the two lines I gave you instead in step 6.

You should be able to rebind your mouse button to the telescope key quite easily instead. Most mice come with the software to do it. What kind of mouse do you have?

Wym said he has a Razer.   (The reason I use AutoHotkey is that my mouse driver (Kensington) doesn't allow mapping just "Shift" by itself -- has to be Shift + another key.)

Thx for your help.......but the autohotkey wouldn't work for me(prob my error thou)
