Do you happen to use or know about a such program - but for mouse buttons? That would allow for example to use middle mouse button in FC as if user was left clicking with CTRL being pushed down?

HotkeyP works with mouse too, it's not so complex as AutoHotkey for example, but it's much easier to use.
What exactly do you need too assign to middle mouse button, is it related to system tray, or you want to select items in the file list with the middle button?

Re: Click on on system tray icon, Togles between Maximize and Minimize of the FC window.
Yes- AutoHotkey is what I have many problems with. Its just too complicated / time consuming
I want to add files in various programs to selections with my Middle Mouse Button. So far I managed to achieve that with AutoHotkey in Mp3tag - but still with some glitches. And so I am looking for a program that could allow me to do that in an easy way
I have checked this HotkeyP- but it does not seems to be able to have such functionality

Re: Click on on system tray icon, Togles between Maximize and Minimize of the FC window.
It's easy, create this command, tested:
Hot key: Mouse M (just click with middle button within the field next to "Win")
Command: Macro to active window
Parameters: \ctrl.\lbutton FreeCommander.exe
BTW Workarounds:
- It's possible to use option "Select with right mouse button" if using NC-mode.
- Another option, in NC-mode, "By click on item icon" - "Select item".
Re: Select items with middle mouse button
Well, now it does seem easy
Unfortunately using this has a drawback of blocking the usage of MMB for closing of a Tab with. Is there away to limit this functionality only to Panels?
Unfortunately this robs users of the context menu
Now that is a better option, because it keeps the access right click menu - but on the other hand it requires from users to aim precisely for icons. And for me personally this is a no-go, because I need to be able to select items when using only a mouse - which happens when I am laying on a bed thus with my head being afar from the monitor
I will try this one later on. Its always good to have a backup optionH.Seldon wrote: ↑05.08.2022, 19:22 X-Mouse Button Control

Re: Select items with middle mouse button
HotkeyP has some options to use a keyboard/mouse shortcut only in some parts of the window, but that parameter is the same in FC for file panel and tab panel, so it can't be used.
Another way is to use more commands for middle button, but it cause some other problems.
There are still the other options, to close the tab you can use double-click, tab bar X button, tab X button.
- side buttons + wheel
- side buttons + left/middle/right buttons
- right button + wheel
- right button + left/middle button
- combinations for wheel tilt (if available)
I'm using just mouse to: switch tabs, close tab, refresh, back/forward, switch window (alt+tab), change volume, mute, play/pause, seek audio/video, zoom, copy, paste&go.
Anyway, if you want more help with these non-FC shortcuts, it's better to use the HotkeyP "forum":

It's OT, but you could try the mouse shortcuts, I'm using they (with the HotkeyP only), they are very useful, not just for FC, for example:
- side buttons + wheel
- side buttons + left/middle/right buttons
- right button + wheel
- right button + left/middle button
- combinations for wheel tilt (if available)

Re: Select items with middle mouse button
How do you know this?
So... if were to try coming up with a script in AutoHotkey for such selection [or in any other software like that XMouseButtonControl], I would surely end up facing the same problem?
I can image all the chaos in the end on the account of discovering more and more places / features where issues would manifest in relation to that. So this is another no-go
Yes, It seems that I can: but with a ~0.5-1.0 second delay - i.e. I have to hold down the RMB for a moment. Is that normal - or is this perhaps another manifestation of this old issue https://freecommander.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=35302 ?
Now such change I could accept. I need to think about it
Now that I need to rethink. And compare how HotkeyP works in comparison to AutoHotkey scripts that already use

Re: Select items with middle mouse button
With the AutoHotkey there would be probably the same problem, but I'm not 100% sure.
Right click delay when using the right button for selection is normal and intended.
Just read the HotkeyP Help, it's quite easy to understand, how the program work.
Here is the hot key, command and parameters to close the active tab in active panel in FC with the mouse shortcut right + middle button:
