I’m trying to create a trigger in BetterTouchTool for use within a certain app, where holding down the Option key and scrolling the mouse wheel up or down will simulate pressing "Option + Arrow Up" and "Option + Arrow Down" respectively. Here's what I've done so far:
I selected the specific app in the app-specific settings to ensure these triggers only apply there.
I chose 'Normal Mouse' as my input device.
For the first trigger, I've set it to recognize "Option + Scroll Up." I used the "Record Mouse Button" feature and ended up with "Option + Arrow Up" for the scroll up action.
In the action assignment, I chose a keyboard shortcut and specified "Option + Arrow Up."
This setup logically seems correct, and I would expect that every time I trigger "Option + Scroll Up," the assigned "Option + Arrow Up" action would occur. However, it does not work as intended. Interestingly, when I replace the scroll up action with any other mouse button action, like a left click, right click, or even middle click, the assigned keyboard action triggers correctly. The same issue occurs with the scroll down action.
Here's a screenshot of the macro setup for clarity:
Does anyone have know why the scroll action doesn’t trigger the assigned keyboard shortcut, while other mouse buttons do? And how to resolve this issue?
Just resuming this thread again — I'm still trying to resolve the issue where "Option + Scroll" doesn't trigger "Option + Arrow Up/Down" in BetterTouchTool as expected.
Could the admins or anyone else familiar with this issue provide some guidance or feedback?
Is it a bug in the software ?
I'm having the exact same issue! Trying to map "CMD + Scroll Up" to trigger the key "," (comma) and it wouldn't work. Other buttons on the mouse would work, just not the scroll wheel for some reason.
I'm using a Logitech MX Ergo with LogiOption+, and I have "Use high level mouse event recognition (requires BTT restart)" enabled in BTT (and restarted BTT).
Yes I'm using LogiOption+. In BTT, I do have "Use high level mouse event recognition (requires BTT restart)" enabled.
If it's due to other software interfering, shouldn't be that no keys on the mouse would work? Because if I use "left click" instead of "scroll up," BTT can successful trigger a keyboard shortcut.
Also having the same problem and using LogiOption+ with "Use high level mouse event recognition (requires BTT restart)" enabled. Running latest OS 14.4.1 + BTT 4.516.
