Keymapping for middle mouse button?

[Skweetis]

I was just wondering how I can map a control to the "clicked" mouse wheel, or middle mouse button?

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure about mapping an actual mouse click, but most mice come with software that allow the user to map a keystroke to a mouse click. That's probably your best bet.

The code for the mouse button clicks are:
left = 0x01
right = 0x02
middle = 0x04

Here's a thread that might interest you since it gets into keymapping:

This webpage I found lists the codes for other keys (partway down the page under EKEY_CODE):

And this page has a nice applet for download to tell you most of the codes (SH3 Key Checker):

Awesome! thanks. :up:

All I want to do is map the "hud" toggle to the middle mouse button (default keypad ./del) Since I normally stick to mous clicks for as much as possible!

Hmmm... guessing this is not possible... the "hud"toggle is not listed in commands_en... must be hardcoded. :cry:

get IntelliPoint software from M$ http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/Download.mspx
and install it then you can map the keys on your mouse to whatever you like for a specified program..It doesn't matter if it's a Microsoft mouse of not I have a Logitech MX510 gaming mouse and I like this better than the software that came with it

the Del button is fairly close to my right thumb, so it's not much of problem for me, but I did want to use he wheel to UpScope/DownScope.

...I did want to use he wheel to UpScope/DownScope.
The mouse wheel (0x05) is used for Command 73. It might not work (as the periscope up and down are two seperate commands), but it might be interesting to experiment with assigning it to the command for periscope operation. Also, it would only work for one of the two periscopes on the boat anyway.
