changing mouse button bindings

[fustercluck]

Ahoy! I'm stuck with an old mouse to use for a while. I installed the drivers for it but there doesn't seem to be any place to change what the side buttons do. Basically want the side button to act as middle mouse, since I got everything bound like that in games and stuff.

What kind of mouse? Mice that have more than the standard two buttons and scroll wheel usually have their own software that you use to configure what the extra buttons do.

It seemingly has no software, it's a Razer Diamondback, pretty dang old!

I really recommend downloading autohotkey and spending the few hours to learn the syntax and everything it can do. If you really have no interest other than just remapping a few keys you can either do it yourself, or PM me for a standalone compiled version of the below.

xbutton1::mbutton
xbutton2::mbutton

If you want to keep the +forward and +back buttons for browsing purposes and don't want to keep pausing/unpausing the script, look into the "IfWinActive" command. The included documentation is insanely thorough.
