Keyboard only hotkey for Alt+Mouse-Wheel?

[korbinian.g]

Hi there,

I'm using a XP Pen graphics tablet and it's got two scroll wheels.

Unfortunately, the driver just accepts keyboard combinations as individually configured actions. So I'm stuck with a dumb zoom to the middle of the screen (or I have to use the precious two buttons on the pen itself, these can be configured to do Alt+Mouse-Wheel).

It'd be way better to configure this wheel for zooming to the pointer.

So my question is: Is there a keyboard only replacement for Alt+Mouse-Wheel?

Thanks and enjoy your day!

Hello @korbinian.g,

Thanks for reaching out. You may try using a third-party application to achieve this.

You may try AutoHotkey with this script, for instance: Using Keyboard Numpad as a Mouse.
It uses the Numeric Pad to emulate a mouse. When on, NumPad+ and Numpad- emulates the mouse wheel.

Feel free to reach out if you have more questions or need assistance. We'd be happy to help.

Thanks,

Anubhav

Thanks for the suggestion. This worked, although I considered the example script an overkill and simplified it down to

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0

NumpadSub::
{
    Send "{Alt down}"
    Send "{WheelDown}"
    Send "{Alt up}"
}
NumpadAdd::
{
    Send "{Alt down}"
    Send "{WheelUp}"
    Send "{Alt up}"
}
