QJoyPad Mouse Wheel Emulation

[christiansiewert]

Hey, is it possible to emulate the mouse wheel with qjoypad? Best, Christian

[panzi]

If I recall correctly the mouse wheel are just two more buttons, so it should already be possible. But I'm currently not at my computer so I can't check. -Mathias Panzenböck-------- Originalnachricht --------Betreff: [panzi/qjoypad] QJoyPad Mouse Wheel Emulation (#19)Von: Christian Siewert An: panzi/qjoypad Cc: Subscribed Hey, is it possible to emulate the mouse wheel with qjoypad?

The problem is that it doesn't recognize scrolling when I want to assign a key. Everything else works perfectly.

Ok, am at my PC for a second now: I tried to assign a joypad button or an axis to wheel-up and it worked for me. WHy exactly are you doing? The exact steps?

[christiansiewert]

I do the same thing I do when I want to assign an axis of my mouse or a key of my keyboard. The dialog box asking you to press a button appears, but when I turn the scroll wheel, nothing happens. Can you describe your steps as well, please?

Do you hover the mouse cursor above the window that asks for a key press?

[christiansiewert]

Yes, I do.

[christiansiewert]

Any updates on this?

[panzi]

I don't have time to look at this at the moment, especially since it works for me. :(

[christiansiewert]

So you are doing the same things as I do?

:(

I think I'm having the same issue is OP here. Many of my joystick buttons are detected as "axis" rather than "button". When I go to assign a function to that axis, I am able to use it to move the mouse or assign a keyboard button. No problem assigning pretty much any button on my keyboard. However, I am not able to assign a mouse button. On my system and all my mice, it is mouse button 4 and 5 that are the scroll wheel.

In qjoypad, I can assign rapidfire, mouse 5 to a joystick button and that button will scroll like its supposed to. However, I cannot assign the same rapidfire, mouse 5 to an axis.

Lmao, almost two years later and I'm still looking for a solution. Want to play minecraft on my raspberry and need a way for sliding through the item list^^

[giantpune]

The workaround I came up with is to use qjoypad to map the axis to some buttons I never use. The number pad gives you like 15 of them. With that, I end up with axis 10 pressing 1 and 2 on the dpad. Then using xbindkeys, when button 1 is pressed, use xdotool to xdotool click 4 which presses mouse button 4 which is the scroll wheel. Its an extra step of indirection, but it works.

It's worth a try at least, yeah, thanks.
