Escape key

[kberry]

Since updating to a new MS mouse, the latest Intellipoint software (ver. 5.3) does not allow assigning one of my buttons to use the "Escape" key. Older versions of Intellipoint would allow this (4.1 I believe allowed it). Does anyone know what macro is used to emulate pressing the escape key? ^C^C is not it...
Thanks!

I don't like the way they keep removing features. I went back to 4.1. Still works fine for me on XP sp2.

Hi

Refer to this post ( RE: More Mouse button Customization ) and this post ( RE: Destroy F1 - in AutoCAD 2006 CUI ).

Have a good one, Mike

I agree. I finally purchased a Logitech MX610. Has 10 customizable buttons. Sweeeet...

Yep. It's also wireless. In fact, the wireless transmitter works so well that I have not been able to figure out it's maximum working distance yet. I took the mouse into my boss's office (about 50 feet away) and asked a coworker if the cursor on my screen was still moving around and it was! It was even going through a bunch of cubicle walls.

Also, it may say 10 buttons on the box but it's not really true. In the mouse software, each direction of the tilt wheel counts as a button so that would make 12 buttons.

The movement on it feels really good, too.

I read about your logitech 10 button mouse. Were you able to program "Escape" into one of the buttons. Is it easy to program? Ted

Programming an escape key is really easy using the logitech software.
Select the button you want, select keystroke, and then hit escape.

I have also got backspace and undo programmed into the mouse.
This mouse (MX510)is a real savior.

Thanks to Chris N and everybody else. I bought a Logitech MX610 and it is awesome! Programming it was very easy. Now I have a button on top of my mouse that is Escape in ACAD only. Any button can be programmed for any application. Finally!!!!
