Hey there.
I just received my mx3s and main question can I achieve same functionality as with Logitech software?
Main thing is "button 5 + move up/down/left/right"
"Why not using Logitech app?" - I want all my customisations and hotkeys in one place and I don't understand who is in charge for which gesture/combination and are there any conflicts.
Thx
You're actually going to need both unless something has changed. I have an MX2 Master and an MX Vertical. I use Logitech Options to assign keystroke commands (configured in BTT) to the various buttons.
BTT isn't able to map the buttons directly without the Options software, unless something has changed.
actually I can map buttons and scrolls
But what i'm looking for is combination button + gesture
like this
In BTT you'd use mouse gestures/drawings for that, however they currently do not work super well with straight lines.
These docs still reference the old UI, but the basics are still the same: Drawing / Scribble Triggers · GitBook (folivora.ai)
Thank, already found it.
But you are right - strait lines are not working(
And if Logi+ app is running it completely take all control over mouse and BTT cant use most of it ( additional buttons)
Anyway, thanks.
If you want to keep the Logi+ app running you currently need to use the shortcut solution mentioned by @alex
Using the Logi Options software you can totally map those Gestures to BTT shortcuts. That's what I'm doing.
I have my Mouse Wheel click as my Gesture button. It's mapped to a custom keystroke, in my case SHIFT+CMD+;
You can see in this image that if I hold down my Gesture button and push forward, I get Launchpad.
Just for fun, I did the same thing and mapped that forward push gesture to a custom keystroke: CMD-1
In BTT that's a fun shortcut for opening Netflix in a Floating Webview.
So, you can do exactly what you're trying to do, you just can't do it natively from BTT. You run Logi Options, and modify the custom keystrokes to your BTT triggered custom keystrokes.
Hi @Aleksandr_Kurach , in your first screenshot you seem to be able to capture the Scroll Left/Right triggers from your Logitech Mouse. Can you pls confirm if this was done without installing Option/Options+?
Is any of the Logitech software able to run natively on silicon ARM Macs?
Logi Options (not Options+) is running natively on my M1 MacBook Pro.
Not exactly an answer to OP's question, but related. BTT can register the gesture button press as a trigger in the Keyboard Shortcuts instead of in the Normal Mouse section.
I've made it open mission control.
I tried to use it to trigger BTT's mouse gestures, but the cursor doesn't move while the gesture button is pressed, so no gesture is registered by BTT
Can you please add the support for straight lines? Straight lines are easy and quick to draw. This is the only reason I'm not using the gestures in BTT and using the free app called MacStroke for gestures.
straight lines have been working pretty well for about a year. When have you last tried it?
I haven't tried these in a while. When I posted my previous post, the app still has a warning message saying not to use straight lines. That's why I asked. But now, I've been using the gestures for the last couple of days. The straight lines seem to work. But the gestures on a whole are still not working well. Most of the times, it recognizes the wrong gestures even with curved gestures also. I think I've drawn some gesture, but the app recognizes it as a different gesture already recorded but that is way off from what I've drawn. I've used multiple gesture recognition apps in the past on various OSes all of which are free and open source and none of them have this issue. Every other app I've used recognizes all the gestures very well. I don't even have to add multiple variations of the same gesture at all. Please improve this feature. This is a very useful feature to have. I want to use BTT for gestures, because I'm guessing I can also use long pressing the right mouse button and other right mouse button shortcuts since no other app will be intercepting the right clicks and there will be no conflicts.
I have been using the BTT drawings for a many years and have not encountered such issues.
Maybe post a screen recording or an export of your setup, then I can check. Did you record multiple variations for each of your gestures? (that is really important for BTT)
I just tried your preset - it seems to be configured nicely but unfortunately I can't really reproduce the issue. Your gestures seem to trigger good here.
However maybe is related to the input device used? (I'm doing them on a trackpad mostly)
In 5.112 alpha I added some extra smoothing algorithm, could you check whether that makes any difference for you? (uploading now)
What values did you keep for these two settings? And what do these settings actually do? I don't really understand what they do, no tooltip documentation present. So I'm blindly experimenting with different values.
