Mice, especially those released by Logitech 'n Microsoft, can have as many is 8-12 buttons. However, after LMB, RMB and MMB, only 4 'n 5 are supported in AHK. Is there any chance we'll see full support in the future?

Altternatively,
Is there a way to do a raw input capture to figure out which buttons those are registered as and add that to the script in the current edition?

It's difficult to support mouse buttons beyond five because the OS does not natively support them, so you need driver level support.

If your mouse came with customization software, you might be able to program those other buttons to send keystrokes. If so, such keystrokes could be made into hotkeys by definining them in the script.

There is a little more detail about extra mouse buttons in the FAQ's Hotkeys section.

hmm tahts a very clever idea, thanx
