Switching desktops with mouse wheel scrolling (too fast)

Postby Blueshift » 16.11.2013 22:17:09

Hello,

So far I'm really enjoying Dexpot. Using MouseEvents I was able to set my desktops to switch by using the horizontal scroll on my mouse wheel. I simply tilt my wheel left or right and it switches the desktop, works great! However, when I try to scroll left or right on my trackpad (using a laptop) the desktops switch very quickly and numerous times. A single swipe to the left causes the desktop to switch 3 or 4 times in the direction I swiped. If I quickly flick the trackpad then I can get it to switch only once, but it is extremely sensitive and hard to pull off just a single switch. Any suggestions?

Also, just so the developers know, the horizontal scroll setting does not work with my mouse when Logitech's SetPoint software is installed. Had to uninstall that and just let Windows handle my mouse settings.

Thanks!

:dex:

You can adjust the sensitivity with a registry setting. First exit Dexpot. Then go to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Dexpot" and increase the value for "MouseWheelClicks". It will affect switching with the scroll wheel on your mouse as well and I'm not sure if there is a number that works well for both devices.

Good to know. I'm at work now, but I'll experiment with the setting when I have some time. Thank you for the response!
