Binding mouse4 and mouse5
« on: August 05, 2006, 09:45:12 am »
I don't know if this has been suggested before (yes, I did search, but couldn't find anything with the broad search terms I had to use), but I think the player ought to be able to bind the mouse4 and mouse5 buttons (the buttons on the sides of some mouses), if their mouse has them. I know most people don't have them on their mouse, but it's absolutely indispensible for me. I like to even the workload on each of my hands when playing, and like to keep most non-movement actions on my right hand - but there's only three buttons on the mouse to bind, and at LEAST 5 actions i would love to use.

Lemme know what you think, would you use this? I think this is a situation where there's no good reason to exclude this, just don't use it if it's there.

I see no harm in doing it.  My brother has a mouse like that but I never played with one.

doesn't it already work?

if you click the set control buttons and then click mouse 4 or 5 won't it set to those buttons?

anyway if it doesnt work it should be added.
There are other worlds than these
