Is there any way to remap mouse buttons or add them as a hotkeys? I find it very hard to press MMB to drag a slider and i'd rather do it with holding a key and drag while my mouse on that parameter.

I don't think there's a way within Houdini, but you can do something like this with a macro app. Autohotkey on Windows, for example, lets you remap any mouse button to a keyboard button.

If you are on Windows, install Autohotkey and use this script:

This will remap the mouse middle button to the grave accent button (only within Houdini). You can change that to any key or combination of keys you wish.


#IfWinActive, ahk_exe houdini.exe
`::MButton

Forum member Midphase made a video about this a while back (I don't know if it still applies):

Hi! I've been desperately trying to figure this out to help my tennis elbow, but when I enter the code I get an error. Screenshots attached of the error and the code I have in notepad. What do I need to change?

thanks,
Dan
