Latest logitech mouseware, and backspace problem in tcmd
Has anybody noticed they have removed the "backspace" command from the drivers, and added a "back" feature.
Ive been using backspace on my thumb button for years, and im definately not settling for a "back" feature wich works completely worthless in totalcmd.
Is there any hack or such i can use? I know this is prolly not the best forum to ask this, but i dont feel like talking to logitechs useless support.

If I need to go to my "previous position" (in my case this happens very often, actually), this is exactly the thing I need. So IMHO this is more than useful function you can access two ways now, BTW.[/face]

Black Dog: it might be useful for some ppl, i have more use for backspace though. You always know where youll be when you hit backspace.
Im not sure all tcmd users would agree on that one.Aezay wrote:2mhe
What a good opportunity to start using the keyboard, instead of the mouse.
A mouse is only useful in games, internet browsing and poorly designed programs with no keyboard shortcuts.

Well, with my five-button mouse I tend to stop using KBD for Commander navigation - I have wheel button assigned to "Enter" and side buttons to "Alt"+"<-/->". So with all this and two wheels in addition mouse navigation became really comfortable.
But in general you are right, Aezay friend.[/face]

And with mouse gestures you get even more effective.Black Dog wrote:[face=courier]On 07-12-2003 18:37:31 +0000 Aezay wrote:

Well, this is two absolutely different things, actually - I can't get why you trying to say that one is better than other. This is like a comparison of worm and soft... %)

I don't know about all users, I can say only for myself - I agree with Aezay.

Well, in my case mouse just substitute KBD, I don't even move it in most cases %).
BTT, ^PgUp works the same way as BS, may be you can assign it instead.[/face]

Yup, and loose backspace functionality in browsers and all other apps. =)Black Dog wrote:[face=courier]On 07-12-2003 18:59:17 +0000 mhe wrote:

Were you _really_ need the backspace/back feature.
But enough now, if anybody knows of a solution, go ahead and tell us

Logitech haven't removed the backspace - they have just hidden it. They decided there were too many entries in the list, so they removed some & put them under a "keystroke" entry. Open up the mouseware control panel, go into your button assignments. Assign the button to a "keystroke", then a little field will be enabled below this. Press the backspace key, & "backspace" comes up in the field. Ok the change & you have just assigned the backspace key to the mouse button.
