No way of binding the clickable cockpit mode to the mouse?

[September]

I have the clickable cockpit toggle bound to one of the side buttons on the mouse for all my modules. Seeing as I play with a gamepad and keyboard mouse combo it's really difficult without it. I understand you can double click the middle mouse button but that's as ergonomic as just reaching over to the keyboard.

 

I can't rebind the mouse button with the default software, maybe some third party software anyone knows of?

No I mean the one that's usually assigned to LAlt+C on the keyboard, I managed to make it work myself by cannibalizing the lua file from another module but I don't get why it's locked from editing by default.

I added this line manually to the default.lua file in the mouse folder

 

{combos = {{key = 'MOUSE_BTN4'}}, down = iCommandCockpitClickModeOnOff, name = _('Clickable mouse cockpit mode On/Off'), category = _('General')}

 

I tried to copy the diff file from the saved games but it didn't work, sorry if I'm not clear

 

Morning,

This works for me.

Just a heads up, i tried the clickable_common method and it works   although you still have to activate it with Alt+C. The only thing i didn't like about it was that the cursor would end up pointing off centre. I'm going to have a play about with the lua to see if it is possible to stop it from doing that.
