MOUSE CHORDS

[JW]

Thanks indeed to Gintaras for the mouse chord functions. Very interesting how it works -- I must press two mouse buttons in sequence to launch a macro, and the middle button (or whatever button I choose to make it) is always the first button. I was a little puzzled at first because my mouse has no middle button but does have a scroll wheel in the middle. Finally I remembered that the scroll wheel is also a pushbutton like the other buttons, and makes a click when you press on it. Very good, but the mouse chord still would not work. Then I remembered that the mouse software has dropdown boxes for assigning functions to buttons, and I found that the scroll wheel click was still unassigned. To my surprise, in the list of functions was a "middle button" function, which I gladly assigned to the scroll wheel click.

Voila, all of Gintaras's functions suddenly began to work (perfectly of course), and I now have very many possibilities for extending my mouse functionality. Now that I see how it is done my next independent project will be to extend the mouse chords to three sequential buttons... (LOL, but then again, maybe)

By the way, here is a really good (and free) screen magnifier that I found, one that follows the mouse around like a magnifying glass, is very customizable and runs easily and neatly:

Thanks again, Gintaras. Quick Macros never stops amazing me.
