Total Commander

Being able to middleclick on buttonbar to execute a different command. would be just great!

For example you could either syncronize folders or exchange the file panels. Or you could call a program one time with parameters and one time without them.

Tonight I got the idea of an easy implementation:
There only has to be a checkbox for each button saying: If this checkbox is enabled, the two buttons are merged to one. So there is no need to create any new kind of buttonbar. (as I always thought)

I made some images: Image 1 - Image 2 - Image 3 - Image 4

Would be another killing feature for TC 7.5! Please, Please, Please.

I know it has been proposed already. I even wrote a similar ahk-skript. This would also have the benefit, that I would not have to adjust my script
I got the idea when using the "-2" entry.

Activating button without parameters is nice idea but it differs from your checkbox a lot.

I must say: I am scared about confusion it could make.

It us understandable that i.e. left click could launch selected text file in Notepad++ and middle one - Notepad++ without it. The problem is when I click on N++ icon and have MS Paint started. More surprising would be the case when next button is in second line. I am almost sure users would treat it as bug.

So… partial support only.

PS. Sorry for killing your ideas. There are not mine so my mind gets cold quicker

I think you got me wrong.

The idea is not executing button next to it, but combine 2 buttons to one. The second button is not shown anymore in buttonbar.

Does this make it clear?

Now I see it better. It is sttill confusing but seems to be nice but with different label, please. First time I read that I was like WTF?

Maybe use simple "Merge with next"?

Also whole dialogue look should be taken into consideration just to not to be overloaded.

I would like having the middle mouse button for toggling the new button menu behaviour (today with shift key only).

Although a buildin solution for middleclick would be great, I think of an external solution for that.

Does anyone has a clue how to capture a middleclick on the Buttonbar. (and assign the correct button to the click?)
In my ctrl+click program its easy:
- The button is just executes a "man in the middle program".
- At startup of it the state of the ctrl key is determined.

But with middleclick i cant start any program.

Could you change your suggestion from middleclick to doubleclick (If you mean the mouse button)?
My MX Revolution does not longer support this function, it changes the wheel.

IMO double click would be hard to detect and is a little unconvenient.

FYI: All mouse drivers I used allowed to change the middleclick back to middleclick. (if it was set to something else) And I did it, because many programs use middle click.

@Mikefield:

Try uberOptions. It allows you to tweak the logitech driver settings in every conceivable way.

Inspired by my own thoughts in this topic I rewrote my ButtonBar tool.

I proudly present ButtonBar eXtended.

It would be great to be able to use the middle mouseclick to run a different command. But I can not create workarounds for that.
