![]() I have three identical 1080P displays on my desk. "Walking" my windows across the displays with key shortcuts is my biggest pain point here of a bunch of little conveniences that add up. Easily the worst out of Windows, OSX, and Ubuntu (defaults). Luckily the OS is somewhat extensible, but I fully agree that the desktop experience feels half baked at best. Maybe I need a desktop form of Apple hardware, but lol $5999. Two monitors (using an HP workstation thunderbolt dock) seem to make the fans go nuts as well. Left port seems to make my kernel_task go crazy. My mac sits on my desk, but faces opposite of me because I want to be able to charge it in the right port, not the left. The first two months of using my mac as a desktop, about weekly I would run into the case that something wouldn't work as expected, I'd google it, and find a stackexchange post where someone is like "yeah that behavior is intentional, no way to change it, by the way I wrote this little open source tool to fix this." every mouse has some form of theses unless explicitly designed not to), but it goes past that. The most egregious IMO is no support for mouse4/5 as back/forward (seriously, it's 2020. The number of random apps that I have to install because of odd quirks that don't work like I'd want/expect. I was always a 'laptop only' guy at work, but since COVID I've used my (multi thousand dollar) MBP as a desktop primarily. So the funny thing is: I'd need a ‘sensible side buttons’ hack that does the exact opposite of this one. You don't even get the standard mouse button events when you don't install Control Center at all - then the extra buttons (on my particular older model no idea about current Logitech products) do nothing at all :( But if the program doesn't allow custom hotkeys for triggering something that's meant to be done with extra mouse buttons, I'm pretty much out of luck. If I'm lucky, I can use Control Center to set up a custom configuration for the specific application in question and make mouse buttons emulate keyboard events, then map those hotkeys to the desired actions within the application. > I discovered that the side buttons emitted standard M4 and M5 commands just as they did in Windowsīut there's no way of setting that up in Logitech's ‘Control Center’ ‘middle click’ is as fancy as that gets. ![]() Interesting! I had to deal with a related problem several times - I often want this from my Logitech mouse: ![]()
