Hello there, Is there a way that i could use my additional thumb mouse buttons for hotkeys? I can picture that shift or attack command would be really nice to have there, but when i click the button to change a hotkey, it doesent interact with my mouse... Is there a way, please?
Once more to the shift command change... Where is it?  I have been searching the hotkeys changing menu like million times and i couldnt find it :-/.
Thank you so much for your unselfish time, Have a great day!

Use your mouse control panel to change the thumb button to shift. If it didn't come with a control panel, download a program like SteerMouse.
|
Yeah, there shouldn't be any problem reconfig the default mouse buttons though your mice configuration panel. Or, if you have it set to something like Mouse4, you could just rebind it in the SC2 keybind editor to wathever you want, no?
|
Thanks for the replies, I understood that SteerMouse is for Mac, since I have PC, I downloaded the only alternative I have found - X-Mouse Button Control - not a bad thing, but there can be only some commands assignet to each button - like alt+f4, ctrl+c, backspace...
Ok, that could work, if I knew where to find the shift command in the hotkeys changing menu, i could set it as backspace, when backspace would be set as mouse4 (hope thats understandable)... But where to change the shift?
Or, do you know any better programme for that purpose?
I have no configuration panel for my mouse from the manufacturer, so those are the options, I think.
Thanks for your help!

I use autohotkey
http://www.autohotkey.com/
I have three buttons on my mouse, one is a browser search button by default so that's explanatory, and the others are labelled as xbutton1 and xbutton2. If that doesn't work there are some ways to get it to tell you what key you're pressing I think, have a look throught their documentation which is alright.
But yeah, here's what I have for SC2:
#IfWinActive ahk_class StarCraft II XButton2::` XButton1::+` Browser_Search::F5
That essentially says if starcraft 2 is open, rebind xbutton2 to ` on UK keyboards, is ~ on US. The one next to tab, esc, and 1, and xbutton1 to shift (represented by +) and `. I've mapped the search button (which is useless and irritating anyway) to F5 so I can use it as a camera hotkey
Then in the SC2 hotkeys menu I've mapped toggle bases to `. so you'd want something like this:
#IfWinActive ahk_class StarCraft II XButton2::a XButton1::^ Browser_Search::F5
simple!

i set my side mice button to base camera instead of using the space bar method which is really efficient

I've also switched the base camera key to my spare mouse button and its really improving my injects.
|
I switched the forward button on my mouse to Control; it lets me add hotkeys without much effort.
|
I switched mousewheel left and mousewheel right to F5 and F6. I can use that for injects or any kind of location save, and I'm much more effective when it comes to refreshing TL threads too.

Thanks you all, especially bbm, just a few details: what should i write in the script when i want to configure the wheel up and wheel down? Also, if I want a button to stand for shift, should i write Shift or some shortcut?
I'm sorry, doesnt like theese text programmes :-( Thanks a lot!!!

No problems

Essentially, shift is replaced by +, control by ^, and alt by !
So ctrl+alt+x is represented by ^!x
Mouse wheels are done by the following:
WheelUp::blah WheelDown::blah

This is only advisable if you are not a fingertip grip user. Because in that case you would need your thumb to stabilize your mouse - and not press buttons.

You could bind mouse 4 to switch base camera (backspace by default). It's pretty nice to be able to quickly get back to your main base (especially when microing a scouting worker) and it makes worker transfers, injects, and chronoboosting/muling a lot easier.

I installed my drivers for my logictech mouse and it worked out perfect. The mouse is a MX518 which I can increase and decrease speed with and so on, none of these features worked till I installed the drivers. With the drivers I could assign commands on starcraft 2 to the mouse buttons with no problem and go to detail with its speed.
So take a look if your drivers are installed or download a program like suggested before.
|
Unfortunately I think EU Versions of Starcraft don't support this feature because of driver conflicts
|
I rebound my mouse buttons to actual keyboard keys (page up/down, del, ins) so that I could use them for Starcraft.
As for the shift key, on most keyboards modifiers such as shift, alt, and ctrl are actually wired differently, so mapping them to a different key would not work. For this reason, sc2 does not provide an option for setting the "shift" function to another button. Perhaps a third party program could do this, but I wouldn't count on it working well.
