174864 - doesn't support intellimouse(optical) side buttons

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 30431

(Firefox :: General, enhancement)

Description

[brendan hinkle]

just like the summary says, phoenix 0.3 doesn't support (or at least isn't
responding to or recognizing) the left and right side buttons on my MSoptical
intellimouse.  maybe it's a problem with the mouse instead (doesn't allow
specification of which/any browsers button assignment will be valid), but msIE
and netscape both respond.  it's a minor problem with an otherwise great browser.

thanks and nice work.

configure them in to do ctrl+left arrow and ctrl+right arrow.

Asa, this is a RFE about adding support for the window messages that the mouse
button click sends. The reporter knows that it can be configured using
IntelliPoint, but it requires software to run (POINT32.EXE). IE and Netscape
supports these window messages directly, without point32.exe running.

This should be as simple as listening for clicks on mouse buttons 4 and 5. Hope
this helps.
