Mapping to Mouse Buttons #197

Open moriel5 opened 2 years ago

moriel5 commented 2 years ago

Since I have an A4Tech mouse with additional buttons, I have decided that a marking menu would be absolutely phenomenal with it (A4Tech's Windows drivers include a rudimentary radial menu with dual functionality for each of the options available for it, since this mouse has three extra buttons meant to be used with this menu).

As I do not use a desktop environment that relies on GNOME shell, nor will I probably daily drive one anytime soon (I use Budgie on Solus), I was wondering how I would go about mapping GNOME Pie functionality to the extra buttons on my mouse (the "menu" button to launch GNOME Pie and select options, the two "selection" buttons to scroll between the different options).

Sorry for the late reply. Binding menus to mouse buttons should be supported natively by Gnome-Pie. You can also try to work with either xbindkeys or keymapper.

Thanks for the answer, no problem regarding when it came.

I'll try doing so once I have the time to compile GNOME Pie, and worst case scenario, I am already using keymapper for mapping some functionality with it.
