Customize Mouse Actions Panel
|
Summary
In this panel you can customize the actions performed by the mouse buttons
and wheel with or without modifier keys (SHIFT, CTRL). There is also support for a touchpad.
Note that button 1 is the left button, button 2 is
the middle button (if present), button 3 is the right button; so a 2-button
mouse has button 1 and button 3 but not button 2.
Opening the Customize Mouse Actions Panel
To open the Customize Mouse Actions panel, you can:
Using the Customize Mouse Actions Panel
To customize the mouse or trackpad actions that are mapped to Workspace
actions, select the appropriate device or style from the Customize actions for option menu. You can make separate
customizations for each kind of device, and Maestro detects the kind of device
that you have and uses the appropriate settings.
Customize Mouse Actions Panel Features
- Customize actions for option menu
Choose the mouse type from this option menu. The table is filled in with
the values defined for this mouse type.
- Mouse action table
This table lists the actions assigned to each combination of modifier
keys and mouse controls. Empty cells have no action assigned to the
combination.
Clicking in a table cell displays an option menu from which you can select the
action to use for that particular combination. You can assign the same action to
multiple key/mouse combinations. The available actions are listed below.
- No action—The mouse gesture is not assigned
any Maestro action.
- Rotate—Rotate around the axis that is
perpendicular to the direction of movement of the pointer.
- X or Y rotate (gesture-based)—Rotate around
the x axis or the y axis, depending on the direction of the
initial pointer movement (perpendicular to the rotation axis).
- X rotate—Rotate around the x axis.
- Y rotate—Rotate around the y axis.
- Z rotate—Rotate around the z axis.
- Translate (& spot center)—Translate in the xy plane in the direction of the pointer movement.
- X or Y translate (gesture-based)—Translate in
the x or the y direction, depending on the direction of the
initial pointer movement.
- X translate—Translate in the x direction.
- Y translate—Translate in the y direction.
- Z translate—Translate in the z direction
- Zoom—Zoom in or out.
- Clipping (forward/back)—Move the clipping
planes forward (out of the screen) or back (into the screen).
- Clipping (together/apart)—Move the clipping
planes closer together or further apart.
- PrimeX Isovalue (inc/dec)—Increase or
decrease the isovale on PrimeX maps.
- Pick only—Pick atoms to create a new
Workspace selection. Each pick clears the previous Workspace selection.
- Pick add—Pick atoms to add to the Workspace
selection. Does not affect other selected atoms.
- Pick invert—Pick atoms to change their
selection state. Does not affect other selected atoms.
- Pick or Rotate—Pick atoms with click; rotate
the Workspace with click and hold.
- Rotate (Virtual Trackball)—Rotate around the
x or y axis if the pointer is in a circle (virtual trackball) in
the center of the Workspace, rotate around the z axis if the pointer is
outside this circle, with a smooth change in behavior over the boundary. The
circle diameter is about 80% of the shortest Workspace dimension. The cursor
text changes between XY and Z as the curor crosses the boundary.
- Pick or Rotate (Virtual Trackball)—Pick atoms
with click; rotate the Workspace with click and hold using a virtual trackball
(see previous item).
- Swap buttons buttons
Click the appropriate combination of buttons to swap the actions in the
table to use different mouse buttons. For example, clicking 1
& 2 would swap the assignments for Button 1 with those for Button 2,
and swap the assignments for Button 1&3 with those for Button 2&3.
- Reset Defaults button
Click this button to restore the defaults for the chosen mouse type. The
table is updated with the default values.
