Enable/disable modulation edit mode via forward/back mouse buttons

[MD-78]

Surge XT V1.3.4 Clap / Windows 11 / REAPER 7.33

-> select any modulator
-> click forward/back mouse buttons

Result: Nothing happens
Expected: Modulation edit mode is enabled/disabled for the selected modulator (this was working this way in the original Surge VST if I remember correctly)

what are 'forward back mouse buttons'?

a re-click on a modulator arms it for me as does option-a (which is re-selectable in the keyboard mapping).

[MD-78]

forward back mouse buttons are the side mouse buttons you usually use for example in web browser for forward/back navigation: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/24459435/81587407-48543d80-93b7-11ea-9c11-bcfbfa72ecca.png

In original Surge VST this was a very nice feature so that you can enable the modulation mode with the mouse cursor at other location.

Oh right the 'button4/button5'. It was one of the things we lost access to when we ported to JUCE.

Unfortunately JUCE only supports mouse devices with 3 buttons, so we don't have access to those click events. I'm going to have to close this as a 'cant do'.

[MD-78]

Too bad

[baconpaul]

yup. we got 9000 improvements and lost one, basically.

I'll open a note on the juce forum and link it here to see if there's any hope.

Thank you!

Frankly this is not a big deal. Just use middle mouse button instead.

[MD-78]

I don't like clicking the mousewheel

[mkruselj]

Well, that's a choice. But as it stands, we cannot bring back support for buttons 4 and 5, so...

[baconpaul]

yup lets see if the forum folks have any ideas.

[baconpaul]

Yup as suspected forum folks say forking juce is the only answer
