General Software Discussion / Re: MakeUsOf Blog Entry: Cool Tips to Put your Mouse Scroll Button to Work

« Last post by sri on June 02, 2008, 09:04 PM »

it does feel wrong, but it is SO useful, i use it mainly for open-in-a-new-tab in firefox, but have also found other uses for it.

In my opinion, Ctrl+click for the same purpose is more intuitive.

Yes, it feels wrong to 'push' the mouse scroll wheel for me too.

lanux: Presently that script uses ctrl+9 to switch to next window and ctrl+8 to switch to previous window.

I've replaced ^9 with ~WheelUp and ^8 with ~WheelDown.

How do I restrict the script to work only when the mouse is over the taskbar?

This might not be the solution you are looking for. But I've put together a very basic AutoHotKey script which will switch to already running Firefox and press ctrl+1. Why 1? Because I always place Gmail in the first tab of Firefox.

Save the following as FirstTabFirefox.ahk:

[Select]

#SingleInstance force
SetTitleMatchMode, 2
IfWinExist Mozilla Firefox
{
    WinActivate, Mozilla Firefox
}
WinWaitActive, Mozilla Firefox
Send {Ctrl Down}1{Ctrl Up}

The script works as it should. I didn't know that Alt+Esc only cycles maximized windows and it ignores minimized windows.

Lanux is going to work on modifying this so it works on all windows whether or not they are maximized or minimized.

10:54 lanux128 maybe mouse-wheel on the taskbar can do an alt+tab, what do you think?
10:56 srikat I want the script to bring up immediate next/previous window regardless of window state (minimized or maximized)
10:56 srikat when the mouse wheel is scrolled anywhere on the taskbar
10:57 srikat next/previous relative to the current active window
10:58 lanux128 maybe i can modify the existing script to make a custom script for you..
10:58 srikat I belive that's what the original thread poster wanted as well

lanux: I can see the taskbar items getting focus but the windows themselves are not coming to the foreground. Also some taskbar items are being skipped.

For a mouse gesture to work, the mouse button (usually the right one) has to be held (and released to end the gesture).

well, which ever program I feel like using mouse gestures in. Mainly in Firefox though.

You can easily add the window class of the program in which your desired mouse gestures should work.
