[QUOTE="DeclinedShadow, post: 603716, member: 47433"] I've got a Mighty Mouse connected to my MacBook, and when I check the options for the mouse under System Preferences I see that I can somewhat choose which action a button should perform. For instance, the left button on the mouse is called "Primary Button" by default, a normal 'click'. Here comes the thing: The right button is called "Secondary Button" by default (that is, Ctrl+'Click') but I was wondering if I could change this into a custom action I'd like to have on my right button (Cmd+'Click')? When I tried to select some other action than Secondary Button for the mouse's right button I got a list of actions, but Cmd+'Click' wasn't in it. There was an "other" option in the list too, but that got me to a menu for using AppleScript (which I literally know nothing about). PS: The reason for me wanting this is that I'm a fan of Starcraft which I have played on a PC for many years and now installed on my Mac, and you use left-click and right-click to move units in the game. But for some reason the game doesn't accept Ctrl+'Click' as the equivalent of a Windows Right-click (as every other Mac application does), Starcraft wants me to press Cmd+'Click' for right-clicks... I hope I'm making myself understandable here! ;D [/QUOTE]
