How to use the wheel mouse function in X

RESOLUTION

Add the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Hummingbird\Exceed\XServer
Add the following values under this key:
Name = MouseWheelSupport
Type = DWORD
Value = 3

Name = WheelDownSequence
Type = STRING
Value = (see below for what to put here)

Name = WheelUpSequence
Type = STRING
Value = (see below for what to put here)

By changing the MouseWheelSupport value to 3 Exceed assumes that for each Mouse Wheel event if must send a sequence of keyboard events. Set this value to 0 to turn this feature off. The WheelDownSequence value controls what Exceed sends when the wheel is rotated downwards, the WheelUpSequence value specifies the up event. The actual value of the WheelUpSequence and WheelDownSequence must be manually copied from a macro created by Xconfig. Each Sequence is limited to 128 characters. To create a macro in Xconfig follow these steps:

  1. Start Xconfig.
  2. Select Input.
  3. Edit the Primary Keyboard Layout.
  4. When Keyboard Editor is started Select Macro... from Edit menu.
  5. Click Add..
  6. Press Start record button
  7. Enter the key sequence you want Exceed to send when the mouse wheel is moved (up and down require separate sequences). Try typing Ctrl+Up which is Previous Paragraph in Emacs.
  8. 8. Press Stop record button
  9. Select the ' key to bind to (this is the first key listed)
  10. Click OK.

At this point you can save the keyboard file and the macro will be saved under the [strings] section in this file. We can now manually copy the macro string value into the appropriate registry
