[SpaceMouseCompact] If I had multiple "Context" ?

Post by mostly2d »

SpaceMouseCompact works well with Context.
That means it distinguishes "Chrome browser" from "MS Excel".
I'm loving it.

Now,
I have "a" Chrome webpage to handle picture inside of it.
So, I have managed SpaceMouseCompact settings properly.

And
I have "another" Chrome webpage to handle another picture inside of it, this website is different from the above one.
But, in this time I have no choice but to change the above settings.
I do not want to change previous settings, that will be necessary when I visit there at later time.

Any good idea to solve this unhappy situation ?

Thanks.

You can condition a cfg file on certain information.
There is a "WindowCaption" condition that may be able to be used for this.
I don't know (never tried) if each Chrome tab would have a distinct caption.

I don't have a means to retrieve and set a condition based on a web page URL. It's an interesting idea though.
More than likely you would need to write some code to detect and set that context.

If you want to try scrolling around a Chrome web page, I have some experimental code you can try. It does pan and zoom. It's not production quality IMO. Email me if you are interested in trying it.

hmm
Thanks for quick reply.

so..
[SpaceMouseCompact] is Application sensitive, I mean
not [Chrome Tab] sensitive
but [Chrome] sensitive only, out of box.

OK
That's good enough information at the moment.
I could handle the next step, by myself.

Thanks again.

Where would I find the cfg file that contains the web page context? I believe I can use this capability to enable different menu behaviors in the same Chrome browser - different tabs.
