MrBig1028 0 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Is there a way to configure the combo (front + back buttons) to perform functions like copy or paste? Also with windows 7 can the gesture be configured to work with MS excel to scroll left/right? Link to post Share on other sites
Bryce 103 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 @MrBig1028 It's not possible to assign copy-paste to the GT directly with its own configuration options. However this can be achieved by using a third-party application like X-Mouse Button Control. Which can intercept mouse inputs and convert them into something else. So for example you could set your GT to output mouse buttons 4 and 5 on the two mouse button combos. Then use the setup below so X-Mouse Button Control will convert these into copy paste. The situation with horizontal scrolling In excel under Windows 7 is unfortunately a bit more complicated than it should be. Since by default Excel does not have a shortcut for horizontal scrolling. On Windows 10 the GTs Gesture Technology driver allows horizontal scrolling by using touch inputs, but these are not supported on Windows 7. So instead you'll need to use the Excel add-in linked below which enables horizontal scrolling via the "Shift + Scroll-Wheel" shortcut. https://github.com/T800G/OfficeScroll Once you have this installed and confirm it is working, you can use X-Mouse Button Control again to send the Shift+Scroll-wheel command when applicable, as below. I've attached the XMBC profiles below if you want to try this approach. I haven't tested it thoroughly so it may need some tweaks, but it does work.

MrBig1028 0 Posted June 27, 2018 Author Share Posted June 27, 2018 Copy and paste are working great. I have tried installing the add-in for horizontal scrolling several times (downloaded from a couple of different sites) but can't get the add-in to work. Link to post Share on other sites
Bryce 103 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I'm not certain which versions of Office this add-in supports, but perhaps it does not support yours? I tested it with Office 365 and just needed to run the INSTALL.bat file, then close and re-open Excel to get it working. Link to post Share on other sites
Knut 0 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Bryce, I'm running Office 365 on a Surface 2 Pro under Windows 10. I can pane up and down, but not left and right. Which "INSTALL.bat" file needs to be run? Link to post Share on other sites
Bryce 103 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 @Knut The INSTALL.bat file is included in OfficeScroll.zip, which you can download on the releases page here. Link to post Share on other sites
Mac 0 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 If the X-Mouse Button Control is set up on the PC I remote into, will that be all I need to make this programming work when using Jump Desk from my Ipad mini? Link to post Share on other sites
