Scroll modifier for mouse/trackball in windows
I have a trackball (Logitech Trackman Marble in this case, though this could apply to any mouse or pointing device) where I would like to use one of the buttons as a middle-click when I click it, but to trigger scrolling action when I hold it down and move the ball around.
I could do this quite easily in Linux by setting scroll-modifier in the X config, but the driver that comes with the trackball (Logitech) only allows one or the other. Is there any way to set this up in Windows 8?
X-Mouse button control should work. http://www.highrez.co.uk/downloads/XMouseButtonControl.htm You just need to set one of the buttons to "Change movement to scroll". The way it works with my mouse is I hold the button, then moving the mouse scrolls the page instead of moving the pointer. It should work the same way for a trackball.
