Mouse Actions to the “Remap Keyboard Key” Feature

Hi Andreas,

The new “Remap Keyboard Key” feature is absolutely fantastic and offers amazing possibilities for customization. Thank you for adding such a great feature!

I do have one request that could make this feature even more versatile: It would be great if you could add support for remapping the following mouse actions to keys:

Left Mouse Click

Right Mouse Click

Middle Mouse Click

Scroll Wheel Up

Scroll Wheel Down

Best regards,

Sebastian

I think you can do this now by remapping a key to something you don't use, and then going to keyboard shortcuts and setting up an action for it.

As a test, I was able to turn my right option key into a down scroll, by first remapping it to F20 as a middle step.

This isn't perfect, but it might work for you for now.

Thank you for the tip. I tried solving this using “Key Sequences,” but unfortunately, it didn’t work the way I wanted.

Here’s what I’m trying to achieve:

Left Command → Left Mouse Button

Left Option → Right Mouse Button

This worked to some extent, but not entirely. What I want is that when I press and hold the Command key, the “Left Mouse Button” is also held down for as long as I hold the key. So, pressing and holding should work.

Then you need to use the predefined action "Custom Mouse Buttons / Click" and set "left mouse down" for cmd down and "left mouse up" for cmd up

Now it works exactly as I wanted. I had tried to deselect “Key Down” during the recording, but that didn’t work. However, I held the Command key first and then started the recording. This way, only “Key Down” was recorded. Thank you very much!
