Mouse Button 4 Back Disabled

broken image


Hi, I use the buttons on the side of my mouse for push-to-talk in Mumble, and I don't want these to also be interpreted by Firefox as a back button. I want to turn off the mouse button 4 acting as a shortcut for the back button in IE. This is the most annoying I've ever seen and not to have an easy way to disable this is stupid. I don't see anything about this in mouse options. Does anyone know of a way to disable this hotkey? Ha, I can't believe they censored that.

The touchpad on a laptop is a convenient way to add the functionality of a mouse without needing an extra peripheral. Most users find themselves in situations where they would like the touchpad on (e.g., no external mouse) or off (e.g., accidentally moving the mouse cursor with their palm while typing). The exact steps may differ slightly, depending on the laptop's manufacturer, so you may need to use some intuition to achieve your desired outcome.

Steps to try first

TouchPad Button: Some laptops have a button near the top of the touchpad that allows you to quickly enable and disable it. You can toggle the touchpad off and on by using that button.

TouchPad Fn keys: Some laptops have an Fn key that, in combination with one of the F1 - F12 function keys, can enable and disable the touchpad. To toggle the touchpad off and on, press both of these keys at the same time.

Tip

The icon associated with toggling the touchpad is often indicated by a rectangle with a line under it. It may also have a pointing finger or a circle near or over a rectangle.
