Description
See https://github.com/SimulaVR/Simula/issues/180 for original request. @jfrconley
We're working on a solution now that will allow us to add
, { _keyCombination = ["KEY_BUTTON_LEFT"] , _keyAction = "clickLeft" }
, { _keyCombination = ["KEY_BUTTON_RIGHT"] , _keyAction = "clickRight" }
, { _keyCombination = ["KEY_BUTTON_MIDDLE"] , _keyAction = "clickMiddle" }
, { _keyCombination = ["KEY_BUTTON_WHEEL_UP"] , _keyAction = "scrollUp" }
, { _keyCombination = ["KEY_BUTTON_WHEEL_DOWN" , _keyAction = "scrollDown" }
, { _keyCombination = ["KEY_BUTTON_XBUTTON1"] , _keyAction = "...something else..." }
, { _keyCombination = ["KEY_BUTTON_XBUTTON2"] , _keyAction = "...something else.." }
to ./config/config.dhall. The intended use case in this instance is to allow KEY_BUTTON_XBUTTON1 and KEY_BUTTON_XBUTTON2 to send Control +PgUp/PgDn (to switch browser tabs).

Research direction
Read the original request in issue 180, then inspect ./config/config.dhall and the existing keyboard shortcut configuration. Confirm how mouse button names such as KEY_BUTTON_LEFT and KEY_BUTTON_XBUTTON1 are represented, and finish when the requested buttons can trigger configured actions including browser-tab switching with Control+PgUp/PgDn.
