This also implies that the list separator ( 2nd hand button, top right) should also send the system’s list separator character. In 2nd numeric mode, it should send the decimal character set by the system (which might be comma for Euro users.)Ĩ. It’s not clear what the labeling on the decimal key means. Some keys diverge from the norm of having the 2nd function at the bottom right of the key. IMO, it would be more natural if there was the FollowMe tool to the right of Offset (9).Ħ. It’s a better place for either Polygon or Arc tool.)ĥ. (Also having Erase on the geometry tools row seems out of place. Select along with the Delete key is what’s used more often. Enter could be 2nd function for use with the numerics, and then have a normal command as well.Ĥ. The Enter key could be normal size, allowing an extra button as well. (Then the same space could accommodate 2 buttons.)ģ. I’d think having a - button for the numeric keypad a better choice. The SHIFT button seems a bit out of place for this keypad. I’d insist upon a toggle with a LED indicator beside it so we’d know when the numeric functions were active.Ģ. Having to hold the 2nd key for numeric use would be a deal breaker for me. So the ability to do very specific things on the left hand and right would be very efficient.ġ. Many of us that use a 3d mouse also use both hands on the keyboard. If fully programmable without effecting the normal keyboard it would probably sit well with a spacemouse. I would like it to be a useful tool, but as is I only see it as a compressed set of basic commands and a numpad. So, select an action shortcut, type the eraser key on the device and it sets that key only on the device to that action and has no effect on the normal e key. I could see this as a useful tool only if you could open the shortcut menu in preferences and choose a tool and type the keys on the Device and the shortcut was recognised as something different from the normal key strokes. But to reprogram the e key, for example, means you are setting the e on the normal keyboard to something else. Aaron noted that because the buttons are mapped to keys he is familiar with he sees it as being programmable. But at least now I have a better work around.Without seeing it or watching 3 hours of video (not that that isn’t 3 hours well spent) to get his impression after using it it is very hard to be convinced. I still would like to customize using keys, because this requires a lot of back and forth, and also requires that I go back in and turn on normal scrolling afterwards. That provides a lot of control, and then I just switch back to the orbit tool (O) for rotating and shifting side to side. What I do is first uncheck the scrolling checkbox mentioned above – to avoid inadvertently zooming, and instead only zoom by use of the zoom tool (Z). Surprisingly, it does not involve using the keyboard to scroll (ie, I do not enable Mouse Keys), but rather using the Z and O shortcuts to switch between the zoom and orbit tools. That led me to my current method which seems to provide maximum control when zooming/panning, and rotating and shifting side to side. In this regard, your suggestion to change Scrolling speed should have been very important, but for some reason I did not notice any difference whether when adjusting the “Scrolling speed” all the way to slow or all the way to fast (see diagram).īut I did notice that when I unchecked the “Scrolling” checkbox in that same dialog that scrolling via accidentally swiping the magic mouse surface stopped altogether. After considering all the responses and trying all the suggestions, I’ve come to the conclusion that the real problem is not with mouse control of rotating or shifting side-to-side, but only zooming/panning.
