So I updated to 6.0.14, set up the Reverse Scroll Direction trigger and enabled only Reverse Vertical, and so far it works exactly the way I want. However, any Reverse Horizontal toggle does nothing for me, so it’s more or less a coincidence that it’s currently behaving the way I like.
By the way, I had no idea this trigger even existed, I kept looking for it among the actions. Every day I discover something new in BTT.
That made me wonder: is BTT also able to detect the battery status of connected mice and keyboards? It would be useful for a notification letting me know it’s time to recharge them.
Just wanted to add a +1 on this, having the exact same issues with my MX Ergo. I would love to ditch LogiOptions+ so hoping these can be worked around on this model
Hi @Andreas_Hegenberg, I use the horizontal (side-mounted) scroll wheel on my MX Master 4 to zoom in/out in design apps like Figma, Illustrator, Photoshop, etc. In Options+ it’s flawless (as long as the app doesn’t fail), but I’m not quite sure how to implement this in BTT. I tried mapping a “scroll right” trigger to the “Smooth Zoom by X (In or Out)” under the mimic standard gestures category but all I get is a very choppy jump to a fixed zoom level, and even if I fine tune the amount it only moves by that value with each wheel movement, regardless of how far the wheel is scrolled.
Is there a good way to have zooming be responsive and dynamic based on how far the wheel is scrolled? Similar to how it works with a trackpad?
Looks like in the last version 6.016 on MX Master 4, I can’t trigger button 6 anymore, anyone else having the same issue? All of the rest of the buttons seem to work
6.017 alpha should fix the MX Master 4 issue. Also it adds two new scroll modifiers:
1.) Smooth Zoom
2.) Smooth Rotate
You can also make these only active while holding some modifier keys. This allows you to use your scroll wheel for zooming or rotating like on a Macbook Trackpad:
Another issue has occured. Thumb wheel does not work in Finder even if I designated gesture in BTT to go Forward and Backward. No problems with this in other apps. Does anybody have the problem mentioned? Any ideas?
Better use the predefined action "3F Swipe Left (Page Back)" and "3F Swipe Right (Page Forward)". These internally generate macOS native navigation swipe events that work in browsers and many apps (also finder)
Ah I see. Unfortunately these can not easily be generated programatically.
However you can achieve the same using the predefined action "trigger menubar menu item" with this config: "Window;Show Previous Tab" and "Window;Show Next Tab" (this action allows you to trigger any menubar menu item)
With BTT 6.021 you can query the Battery State via BTT's Java Script. Here is an example that gets the battery state and saves it to variable "mxmaster_battery":
async function getLogitechBattery() {
const result = await logitech_get_battery_status({ deviceName: "MX Master" });
await set_number_variable({variableName: "mxmaster_battery", to: result.level});
return result;
}
You can then use that variable however you like, for example this preset shows a HUD with the battery state when pressing ctrl+opt+cmd+D: logitech_battery.bttpreset (3.7 KB)
You could also have a time based trigger that checks e.g. once per hour and uses an if condition to check whether the battery is below a specific percentage - and only then shows the HUD.
