MX1000 Button Mapping

From Daniel Crabtree

Add firefox.exe to the "Application Specific Settings" for the default "Forward" and "Back" actions in Logitech SetPoint. The advantage of this solution is that other "Application Specific Settings" will also be in effect, specifically Forward and Back change sheets in MS Excel.

1 - Open SetPoint

2 - Change button 7 back to "Forward" and button 8 back to "Back"

3 - Make sure "Application Specific Settings" is checked

4 - Click "OK" to close the SetPoint settings window

5 - Right-click the SetPoint icon in the System Trey and select "Exit" to close SetPoint completely

6 - Open "C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Application Data\Logitech\SetPoint\user.xml" in your favorite text editor (notepad will work).

7 - Around line 94 you should see this section:
<AppOverride App="hh.exe" HandlerSet="ShiftBackSpace">
<Handler Class="KeyStroke">
<Param KeyName="+{BKSP}"/>
</Handler>
</AppOverride>
This sets an application specific override for the HTML Help (hh.exe) program to use Shift+Backspace for the Forward action. Duplicate this section and change "hh.exe" to "firefox.exe"

8 - Around line 150 you should see this section:
<AppOverride App="hh.exe" HandlerSet="BackSpace">
<Handler Class="KeyStroke">
<Param KeyName="{BKSP}"/>
</Handler>
</AppOverride>
Duplicate this section and change the "hh.exe" to "firefox.exe" to use Backspace for the Back action in Firefox.

9 - Run "C:\Program Files\Logitech\SetPoint\KEM.exe" to reload Logitech SetPoint (or restart Windows).

Note to other hackers: this method can be used to set up overrides for other programs if you want.
