I'd like to be able to access the thumb-buttons on my Logitech Mx500. I see that LButton, MButton, and RButton give access to the appropriate mouse buttons, but how do I access the additional mouse buttons on this (or any other)?

I've tried doing the MouseHook / view history thing, but all I see are the keystrokes that are set in the Logitech control panel.

Specifically, I want to set the "browser back" button to "Esc" in AutoCAD, but leave it alone for all other applications (and probably do similar things for the other buttons) since the Logitech software doesn't support per-application button settings. I'd also like to use the raw mouse button as the mirror key for the half-qwerty script.

The FAQ suggests using the software that came with your mouse to have those extra buttons send keystrokes. For example, if the mouse button can send Control-F12, you can indirectly make that mouse button a hotkey by defining "^F12::" in your script.

I'm sorry, that was pretty rude of me (not reading the FAQ). I'd seen it, but I just glanced at the top and figured that it was too detailed for me to understand until I'd become more familiar with the software.

I was hoping to get lower-level access to the mouse's buttons, but I can live with it. Thanks.

Also, I found what would fix my half-qwerty caps-lock problem by reading a page linked to by the FAQ. Go figure!

Just a suggestion: put a table of contents at the top of the FAQ page (with links to the topics).
