#32 disable middle button feature

[Libor]

hi, the last version sends a window to background when I click on its title bar with middle mouse button. but it's not possible to disable this feature via config form, because I use middle button click shortcut in another app and taekwindow just overrides it, so please make this configurable.

Ah, hadn't thought that this would be a problem. But I'm trying my best to make Taekwindow play nice with other programs, so I'll definitely look into this. Out of interest, what other app are you referring to?

hi, I assigned middle button to VirtuaWin, but maybe I will change my mind :)
btw where you store settings? I mean registry or some ini file windows directory? I think you could make portable version because such nice little apps are very handy :)

Settings are stored in the registry. But it would be nice if you could, for example, store them in a file on a USB stick along with the program itself. I've added this as a feature request, but I cannot guarantee that I'll come round to it:

I also needed to disable the middle-click functionality -- not because it's bad, per se, just because I also run virtuawin, and want the other functions (in addition to the "force to background") that I can get from the middle-click menu. You can work around the problem by adding a DWORD entry into the TaekWindow section of the registry (should be HKCU/Software/Taekwindow) with an impossibly high "button" number (eg, 99), and restarting Taekwindow.

As a matter of interest, I would like the "push to background" feature if I could, for instance, add a modifier key to it (say, shift-middle-click). That would be well neat!

Hi

I've placed a request for something similar in the past. For the moment, here's a workaround which I picked up from perusing the Taekwindow source:

Add the DWORD key
[HKCU]/Software/Taekwindow/0.2/pushBackButton
(if it doesn't exist)
and set the value to "5"
The buttons specified in the registry seem to be as follows:
0: left-click
1: middle-click
2: right-click
I assume that mice with more buttons will have meaningful button values > 3, but I only have 3 buttons (and windows doesn't see scrolling as a button event, unlike X-Windows)

Added an option (enabled by default) in version 0.3, to be released soon.
