Surface Pen assign middle mouse Button Feature
Yogibear > 2022-10-13 12:04
Hi Guys,
Looked around the forum and cannot find a solution to this.
Anybody assigned a button to a MS Surface Pro Pen for Quick Access Popup?.. specifically for the middle key of the mouse to bring up Quick Access Popup menu.
Would be an awesome edition to the surface pen.. You can assign to Quick Access Popup but not the middle key on the mouse
Cannot believe nobody has brought this topic up before.
Any suggestions /hacks would be cool.

Is the middle key what MS refers to as the "side" key on the pen?
If so, what "key press" / key code does the side button send when pressed?
I'm not sure, but maybe KeyboardStateView by NirSoft can detect it?
(KSV requires no installation or admin access to run, https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/keyboard_state_view.html )

hi the side key is not referenced in the nirsoft tool.. however, other keys are mapped to the left mouse click. but unable to map the key directly in quick access as it prompted for a modifier key.

It seems that the side button as default (by the driver, or pen hardware?) is mapped to right-click, aka the rbutton.
I assume that you could probably run an intercept script, but it would screw up the right click function for the whole PC.
....is my guess.
Maybe someone else here have some insights or solution?
