Title: Shifted Mouse Buttons with IPac Ultimate?
Post by: Token on March 08, 2016, 03:42:07 pm
I doubt it is possible, but does anybody know how to assign left and right mouse buttons as shifted commands using an IPac?

I use my trackball as a mouse, but didn't want to install dedicated pushbuttons as mouse buttons for those rare occasions I need to do something in Windows. Yes, I have a cordless keyboard w/ trackpad.

I would look into writing a simple script with autohotkey - very easy to remap keyboard keys as mouse clicks with some simple programming. I would make a script that listens for your shifted key, then would turn two of your main buttons into mouse buttons based on that.

ymmv when inside programs/games (as it can only simulate directinput clicks) but very useful in windows and it's a great tool to learn, I use it for many of these kinds of problems. ;)

Im not at home to check right now but I thought in the shifted drop down menu there would be a left and right click option. If not then the Auto Hot Key option may be the best route. Very easy to setup.

A simple script like

m::LButton

Would change the m button to the left click button on the mouse.
