It would be super useful to be able to make a trigger than receives 2 buttons at once. The reason is I want to emulate something like a 2 finger tap, or a tip-tap that the magic mouse has. ie: i could click both my left and right mouse buttons at once to do something. or tip tap left and right. I'm calling this button combos though cos it'd be even nicer if you can use any buttons. My mouse has 2 extra buttons on the side and with left and right click, and middle click, that makes a total of 14 combinations if I'm not mistaken. ---

I think you could achieve this with "advanced trigger conditions", so you would configure your action for a specific mouse button, but add a condition to only work while specific other buttons are also pressed ![image](https://community.folivora.ai/uploads/default/original/3X/0/c/0c69a0305bf8a898845c0a69b03f2e49624f0601.jpeg) ---

Are you sure you are on 4.010? That's relatively old version from early this year, there have been many changes since then. ---

best create an export of your current preset in case you want to downgrade again later! ---

So, I downloaded the demo for the latest version but my trial has ended cos I was experimenting with it a while back. If you can attest that the button combo feature is working on the new version, I will buy a new license. Let me know if it's working please 🙂 ---

I was just wondering if this would work with keys. But unfortunately not. When I press "j" while "f" is pressed, nothing happens. Or am I doing something wrong? ![image](https://community.folivora.ai/uploads/default/original/3X/0/2/0239f7b0574bfbd646a5b45864a03579a5b6e662.png) ---

the keys in this variable are not represented as letter but instead as the internal key code (shown in the variable list). With that I think it should work. ---

True. "f", for example, is "3,". The question is, what can I do with it? Probably ... nothing at all 🙂 ---

Well, the normal stuff is already used by everyone else. My niche is the Obscure. Wait and see, I'll find completely pointless use case 😂 ---

@Jarred I don't want to say anything wrong but I think you can be happy. I tested this with a simple dell mouse. It works exactly the way you want it to (BTT 4.284) 🙂. But if you want to be absolutely sure, wait until Andreas confirms it. ---

Allow me to bring back this topic, because I would really like to be able to trigger an action (minimizing windows, especially) when clicking both left & right buttons of my standard mouse. I have tested the 'advanced conditions' solution and it works quite well... except that when I use the shortcut, after the window gets minimized, the context menu appears, as if I clicked only on the right button. Would there be a way to block the normal behavior of the button for which the condition is tested? For info, in my case, I am using the "right\_mouse\_down == 1" as the advanced condition. More generally, @Andreas_Hegenberg would it be possible to implement a true "both button click" as a trigger for standard mice?
