navigator & shortcut bar
has anyone out there who uses a 3dconnexion space navigator figured out how to program one of it's buttons to bring up the shortcut bar (normally activated by the letter "s")?
i have the lowly two button one and don't use it as much as i would if i didn't have to keep moving my left hand to the keyboard to access either hotkeys or the s key. it would be a natural to have that programmed to a button.
find a job or post a job opening
just create a custom function in the 3dconnnexion control panel to remap one of the buttons to the s key.
-in the button coonfiguration tab, click the custom function button.
-click new, give it a name ("shortcut bar", etc)
-in the user macro box, just enter s
-click save, then done
-now just choose that function for whichever button you want it on.

thanks.
i was expecting it to be more complicated when the word macro came into it.
i tried clicking on the "thank you" star link but nothing seems to happen.
clicking on the 'thank ...' link should open a pop-up, but it sometimes opens a pop-under, either way, a tab should appear in the taskbar which can be clicked on to bring it to the front. for me it is taking a long time to pop-up/under today, so you may have to be patient.

i held the ctrl key while clicking it and it allowed the pop-up. i didn't see any restriction warning when the pop-up didn't go through yesterday.
