Change between virtual desktops with master mx 3s #2566

Closed miguelc3 closed 2 weeks ago

miguelc3 commented 1 month ago

Hello,

I've been searching and trying to figure out how to change between virtual desktops on ubuntu with the master mx 3s. Can anyone tell me if it is possible? And if it is, how can I do it. I know that on windows it is.

Thank you, Miguel Pereira

It's unclear what role you want Solaar to have here. Can't something like active corners do what you want? Or even right clicking and selecting from the system menu?

Basically I would like to change virtual desktops with the mouse, for example, if I click on the side upper button move to the desktop on the left and by clocking on the lower side button, move to the desktop on the right.

First you need to find out how you can move between desktops. Then you need to figure out whether these buttons are divertable. If they are the forward and back buttons then they are. Then go into Solaar and divert them. Then write rules that have a condition for the keypress of button and either simulates the input that is used to switch desktops or executes the command that switches desktops.

You can even use the left/right gestures to switch the desktop. I don't have the link available right now. I might add that to the docs.

I think in 1.1.13 the loading of the rules.yaml is buggy anyway and needs a fix.
