Hi,
V5
As an alternative to scroll wheeling in and out to see at high magnification items that require such detailed view, I wish there was a keyboard shortcut to zoom to a predetermined amount in on the area my mouse cursor is at.
I am having to do a lot of scrolling in and out where I have a busy area so as to be sure I have clicked on the right part, end etc etc.
googling this the video only shows scroll wheel in use and lesser methods of use, marquee maybe but if one already has a command in progress a click may lose it, scrolling gets to be like a fairground ride !
Hi,
Excellent
all sound very useful, especially _ZoomTarget
what is a thumb button, something on the mouse ? if so, how did you do that.
I will try all and establish what is best.
I googled this and found only mention of scroll wheel so maybe a video out there for users on such further options, as we all must spend a lot of time zooming in and out.
Mice can have more than two buttons these days (some have dozens). The “thumb button”, as then name implies, is a button under your thumb (or to be operated by your thumb). Some mice also have several thumb-operated buttons.
I prefer smooth thumb rest, far more comfortable. and buttons where I can get to them with a slight difference of postion, not under a human digit waiting to be accidentally triggered.
Does MMB work well on that mouse? I switched and returned 5 times in a week. And I gave up in the end… Note that I use MMB once in 5 sec… Good quality mouse tho… @jeff_hammond
hmm… i don’t do anything. it just works for me.
i’ll try a couple of other non-MX logitech mice later today to see if their middle buttons work for me.
what mouse are you using?
Hi Jeff,
What is the overall length of that mouse in mm ?
I ask as lot of mice are too long and their rear end is up against my gel wrist rest before I even attempt to move it backwards to bring cursor down screen. 115mm is the length limit for me. The bigger mice are not of use, if wrist rests on gel pad.
I dont want buttons directly under thumb that I am frightened of activation, grip is light on mouse but button click needs to be not easily triggered and also not an effort, else precise control gets lost upon click.
Is that shelf like rubber pad a button or just the tip active where the screen-printed white emblem is ?
i use that mouse with my laptop… the middle mouse button is actually the little button behind the scroll wheel instead of the scroll wheel click (pushing the scroll wheel toggles between click-scrolling and smooth-scrolling)
the whole thing is a button but you have to explicitly press downward (or roll your thumb down) to trigger it… you can squeeze inward as hard as you like without triggering… whoever designed the thing thought it through pretty good.
