Customize Your Mouse Buttons
X-Mouse Button Control is a free Windows app that lets you customize all the various buttons on your mouse so that they are a bit more useful, and the best part is that you can customize it on a per-app basis. For example, in your web browser you may want to use the extra buttons on your mouse to navigate back/forward through your browsing history, but maybe in Microsoft Word you want those buttons to perform copy/paste operations.
This app will let you do all of that and more. Here’s a rundown of the more useful operations you can choose from:
- Copy/Cut/Paste
- Volume Up/Down/Mute
- Media Player control
- Send a custom keystroke sequence
- Launch your email (or any other) application.
- Capture screen (or active window) image to clipboard.
- Click-Drag [Sticky Buttons].
- Save and restore desktop icon positions.
- Vista (and Windows 7) support including some Vista/7 only featurs such as ‘Flip 3D’.
