Don't record "Scroll Left/Right" for Mouse #103

Open gilbigdog opened 2 years ago

gilbigdog commented 2 years ago

I use Kensington Wireless mouse(K75326WW) for last 2 years and worked fine with other tools. I get to know this and am trying to replace all other tools with this. one of features is to map Scroll Left to Chrome tab Left. BetterTouchTool is able to record the button event but MultiTouch cannot. MultiTouch records Scroll button click or other button clicks. so I think that my mouse is properly setup on my macbook.

Reproduction Step : MultiTouch preference -> Keyboard/Mouse -> + -> Mouse Button Remap -> Click "Scroll Left" or Right.

Moreover, I tried to enter just number in "Record Mouse Button" field because other buttons(besides scroll left/right) are recorded as number (3, 4, 5). but no luck.

Those scroll buttons are likely creating a scroll event rather than a mouse button event, which is why that recorder isn't catching it. How does that scroll button work? Does a single press execute a scroll of a certain magnitude?

A single press of scroll button is recorded as button click(3) in MultiTouch. In Chrome, it opens a link in a new tab. there appears to be no default behavior of scroll Left/Right. I map it to left/right tab in browser using BTT.
