Scroll actions for mouse and trackpad

[ivan9ef]

I'm using BTT with Magic Trackpad, Logitech g604 and steermouse app.
I can assign different actions for mouse wheel from steermouse app (like mouse wheel act like opt+scroll for example), but I'm missing such options for trackpad very much. Any advices?

By the way how does BTT process scroll actions? I tried to assign some modifier key presses on scroll action but it only performs key down but not key up and modifier key remains pressed until I restart BTT.

I think I don't understand the question. Maybe post some screenshots of what you have been trying

Settings for BTT

ah sorry the "Trigger on Mouse Down / Up" option is only for button presses, I will need to hide it for scroll events as there is no press state for scroll events.

steermouse app

Is that hard to implement? Im using a CAD program which uses SHIFT/Scroll to pan the view. It would be so nice to be able to pan with 3 fingers or 2 fingers click.

It would be so nice to be able to pan with 3 fingers or 2 fingers click.

Most of these apps allow to pan via middle click :

Emulate a real middle click (including dragging) with the trackpad. E.g. for CAD programs.

Description of what you are sharing This allows you to do a trackpad three finger click to perform a middle-mouse-down click. It will keep the middle mouse button pressed as long as you are still touching the trackpad with at least one finger. This allows you to move the cursor and thereby simulate a real middle-mouse click as needed for e.g. CAD programs like Archicad. NOTE: This requires BTT 2.506 alpha or later to be imported correctly The example is available here: Screenshots (optional…

Steermouse only works with mouse. This is why my question is here…

[ivan9ef]

So How does it work? Should I assign key down and key up to one scroll event?
In that way seems like only key down action is performed and key remains pressed.

[Andreas_Hegenberg]

You could use the new "Release Finger After Previous Touch With 2 Fingers" trigger (requires current alpha version of BTT):

(or have a look at the CAD-Middle Click Preset which uses a three finger click to start the panning)

Are we still talking about scroll event for regular mouse?))

[Andreas_Hegenberg]

I thought you were talking about trackpad

For mouse BTT can not do this (but maybe it would be a nice feature to allow adding modifiers to scroll events).

[ivan9ef]

Ok, thanks for clarification.
I will vote for such feature

Shapr3d does not allow middle click sadly. Would be really nice be able to simulate shift scroll with 3 finger scrolling.

hi please that would be really amazing as some music programs use extensively this function

Hey any updates on this? I’d love to finally make the switch from Logi Options to Better Touch Tool, but I’ve really just been holding out on this feature
