How can I set mouse buttons as shortcuts?

Hi,

I've got a mouse which has three keys on the left side which are not in use.

I want to use them to go a frame forward or backward so I went into the shortcut menu. I tried to set this mouse keys as a shortcut but it seems like Premiere Pro doesn't recognize any of my mouse keys

My Mouse has its own software that maps  button functions to any of the short Cuts in Premiere ( and other applications)

Logitech G700S

Basically all it does is map any combination of keyboard "keys"  to any button...and these of course are what Shortcut Keys  are.

This going to be added natively to Premiere shortcuts, Adobe?

I didn't do this through Premiere, but I was able to adjust my mouse keybinds with my mouse software (Razer Synapse in my case). I wanted to zoom in and out with my side buttons because (Alt + Scroll) wasn't zooming in centered, I think due to 200% scaling. I changed those side buttons to the (-) and (+) keys, so now I can zoom in and out with my mouse.

You can use X-Mouse Button Control. It's free. You can map any shortcut to any of you mouse buttons.

There is a game-controller mapping program that might work for you ... Xpadder ... you can go look it up.

Xpadder

It's around $10USD, and can map a lot of controls from gamer controls to mice & such to keys or combinations. I saw it yesterday, on another forum, from someone who is now editing using an X-box game controller and used this to set it all up. I'm thinking about getting it myself ...

Premiere Pro has no way to change mouse buttons.

The best and perfect answer is that it still can be done.

What do you mean by "correct answer", Adobe?

The correct answer is to solve the users problems, not a yes or no kind of replies.

Those replies are from other volunteers, noted users, both of them, from EIGHT years ago.

 

"Adobe" cannot build into the app 'calls' for every specific user device out there, NO app runs like that. There are probably several thousand devices used with Adobe apps.

 

You use the device mapping options. Provided by the maker of that device. Like everyone does an any other app.

 

Every device that has extra buttons and such, like my Logitec trackball, or my Tangent Elements panel, has its own mapping software. THAT is where you go to map that specific device.
