Hi there, love BTT! I'm using BTT for accessibility reasons to reduce keystrokes and what I've done is assigned the § - left click without modifiers.
I was wondering if it's possible to do the two additional things:
I would like to be able to triple click with it, in order to highlight a whole line in a text document. Normally, you would triple left click on a line to highlight it all. Triple tapping the § works for highlighting a word, but if I triple tap the §, it doesn't do the equivalent triple click; it does a double click and then a single click afterwards, if you see what I mean. I was wondering if it's possible to get it to do the triple click.
The other thing I was wondering if it's possible is to add the Left click down and left click up events separately to the §. So for example, when you press the § button, it does the left click down event, and then when you release it, it does the left click up event. The reason I'm looking for this is so I can use drag and drop with that key as well, so for example, I can highlight words and also drag files. Hold the button down to drag a file and then release the button as though it was holding the left click.
Thanks very much for your help. I wrote this using some new voice dictation tool I've started to use for accessibility reasons, so apologies if it's a little off, but I've reread it and I think it all makes 100% sense. Please let me know if you'd like any clarification. Thanks very much for your help.
Have a look at this preset (requires current alpha version)
This is for the ` grave accent and tilde key, but should be possible for any other key as well. Maybe you can check whether it in general does what you need, then you can adjust the remapping.
@Andreas_Hegenberg Mate that is fantastic! I switched to the alpha and followed the screenshot and it works perfectly! Mate honestly that is a lifesaver, it feels so natrual just like a regular up / down click.
Triple click to highlight text works too, everything! :)))))
@Andreas_Hegenberg I thought you'd like to know that none of the modifier keys are being sent. So for example, if I hold command and then press the section symbol key, the command is not being sent with it. I know this is the alpha version, so it may be a bug you're aware of. Please let me know if you'd like me to help any more with the debug. I've attached a screenshot of my current setup.
Also, please let me know if you'd like me to start a separate thread for this or if this one is okay.
That's weird, I have been using it successfully for a few days. Where have you tried the modifier keys? (e.g. try in Finder to select multiple files while holding CMD)
@Andreas_Hegenberg My use case is if I put the cursor on the desktop and hold " Control " And then press the left click button on the mouse, I get the context window pop-up. If I put the cursor on the desktop and hold the control button and then press the section sign from my example, I do not get the same output. Nothing happens for me. That means the control modifier is not being sent. However, I have it checked, I believe, in the example above. I hope this debugging information helps. Please let me know if you'd like more details.
@Andreas_Hegenberg I'm not sure if this helps with debugging, but I've taken a screenshot of all four of the settings: mouse up and mouse down for the signal key. To be specific, what I'm doing is holding Control whilst pressing the button on desktop to open the context menu (doesn't work with these setting). Control + normal clicking with my mouse on desktop opens the menu.
Please let me know if you'd like me to help any more with the debug. I've attached a screenshot of my current setup.
