Mouse button combination mappings
Hi. I Like Logitech mouses, and been using both wired and bluetooth for years now.
I have a suggestion regarding functionality of Logi options+ and G HUB.
One thing I often come across missing as a feature though is the ability to map several buttons on a mouse to do something when the buttons are pressed together.
"Multi-button mouse mappings"
It is very seldom possible to do mouse key mappings in any app. It is almost always keyboard shortcuts that are possible to change.
And if a default mouse mapping, that does not have a keyboard shortcut counterpart, it makes it even harder to customize the mouse mapping - even with logi options+.
So often I find myself mapping a button to "W" and another to "CMD" on my mouse, so that when I press both I'll close a window in finder or a tab in a browser.
But in a browser it is really useful to use middle click to open a link in a new tab.
But I cannot map the functionality of middle clicking in a browser in any way other than it being mapped to 'middle click'.
Partly because it is a mapping, that is dependent on what my cursor is pointing on. So doesn't appear in for example the Brave Browsers vast keyboard shortcut customization list. And I can't map mouse buttons in the the keyboard shortcut customization.
This means that I often end up kind of wasting a button on my mouse for just being mapped to "W" (if I have enough buttons.), or to "CMD+W" - which is worse, because, it's much more possible to accidentally close a window, when it is not a button combination but a single button.
if i could say that 2 buttons together is a 3rd keymapping from what the 2 buttons are mapped to individually in logi options+ and G HUB, it would be much easier to overcome other applications customization limitations, and also make the customization functionalities of your software much greater.
In this case i would be able to let middle click be middle click, but another button pressed together with middle click be (CMD+W) for example.
Or a specific common action, as you have in your software.
The common actions functionality would also be even more useful to a lot of people, if it was possible to map these actions to button-combinations
It would make the customization much greater - and the workflow even more efficient. Both when common browsing, and when making app-specific mappings to more complicated applications like media production software.
It does seem though that some Logitech bluetooth devices (M720 Triathlon mouse) have some limitations in how many actions can be registered at the same time, which I didn't experience with wired Logitech counterparts (G502 HERO mouse).
Where it wasn't possible to do combination key pressings depending on what buttons were pressed with M720, which is unfortunate.
I don't know if it is a bluetooth technical limitation, or maybe something that can be fixed with a firmware update.
I think it would be a great advancement of possibilities :)
Thanks for the customization that is already implemented, it's made my day-to-day life much more efficient :)
Kind regards,
