Mouse Buttons
All mouse buttons may be used as DoubleTaps.
Left, Right, Middle (wheel press)
Middle Wheel Left & Middle Wheel Right
Middle Wheel Left & Middle Wheel Right don't function like normal keys and can be inconsistent depending on mouse driver, therefor, they are disabled from being hotkeys.
Button4 and Button5
These are the buttons that typically perform a
Forward and Back operation in a browser or other application. They do not exist on all mice. AutoCAD power users should have one of these.There is a special option you may set in the Options → Program tab that allows you to use these buttons as Main Keys and Modifiers. With this option turned on (the default),
Button4 and Button5 cannot be used as unmodified Main Keys. However, with this option turned on, having them as Main Keys and Modifiers, you can greatly increase the number of hotkeys available.With this option turned off,
Button4 and Button5 may be used like any other Main Key on your keyboard, supporting any or no modifiers.You may have to configure
Button4 and Button5 as "Generic Button" or "Default" (or equivalent) in your mouse driver's software in order for them to be used as Modifiers.Using mice with more than 5 buttons with AutoHook
Windows natively supports mice with up to 5 buttons. If your mouse has more than 5, you may still be able to use the extra buttons with AutoHook as described next.
These mice typically come with special drivers that allow you to assign keystrokes or other tasks to the extra buttons. The trick is to assign some random keystroke (one that you would never normally use) to a button using the driver software provided with the mouse. Then, in AutoHook assign whatever macro you want to the keystroke you set in the mouse driver software. That's it!
