Use mouse button & wheel to activate a command

Hi,

I am evaluating the portable version of FastKeys and I am impressed by all it's features.

I want to create a command to browse forward and backward in Firefox using the right mouse button in combination with the mouse wheel, but I don't know how to do this.

Thanks in advance for your support

Currently there is only indirect way to do this. We will think about allowing complex shortcuts like this in the future.

For now you can make a Start Menu item, Type=Command, Options=AutoRun:

Command:

Code: Select all

return
~RButton & WheelDown::
Send ^{Tab}
return

~RButton & WheelUp::
Send ^+{Tab}
return

Thanks for the quick reply Marko!

The mouse combination works great to activate the command, but the command I need is : browse to previous or next page visited in my browser.

When I hold down the right mouse button I hear a sound. Can this be deactivated?

sorry, try this:

Code: Select all

return
~RButton & WheelDown::
Send {Browser_Back}
return

~RButton & WheelUp::
Send {Browser_Forward}
return

Right mouse button is by default also a mouse gesture key. To not hear the sound you can disable gestures module or untick the option Play sound for no match (under Preferences/Gestures).
