Set mouse wheel side buttons to 'esc' and 'enter'

[James]

one of the best things i have done is get a mouse where the scroll wheel can be clicked left and right (this is my mouse http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Logitech-LX5-Cordless-USB-PS-2-Optical-Mouse_W0QQitemZ250182682733QQihZ015QQcategoryZ96891QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) then set the the buttons to 'esc' and 'enter'

probably a good item to add to the mouse FAQ - when it gets an answer

How did you accomplish these settings

I use a Logitech MX600 with a mirade of settings, but do not see a setting for esc and enter

 

Please advise

sounds like a great idea, might just have to invest in a new mouse

Or even better get work to pay for it.

Go to your mouse button editing software and select "Keystroke" for the task that you want to assign to a particular button. Then press the key (or combinations with Ctrl and Alt) and hit Apply. This should set that button to use the key(s) that you pressed.

Works Great, Great Idea... Just Becareful Not To Get Too Fast With The Buttons Becouse On Most Mouses' The Scroll Button Can Be Pushed In To "zoom Extents" And With The 3 Commands Just A Slight Different Click Can Get Confusing And Aggrivating!!!

 

Thanks For That Tip, That Is A New Setting On My Mouse!!!

I have a microsoft mouse with a middlebutton that you can also puch left and right! anybody know how to reasign those?? its not posible with the software!

I have my mouse wheel set to be middle button so this would not work for me. I use my middle button to call up the Osnap override dialog. I can't stand using it for pan as it is set for default. I have always used it for Osnaps.
