Can we use the mouse middle button(scroll wheel) to set up bindkeys?

Like for example I would like to use the scroll wheel to scroll
therough the layout, scroll through CIW content..etc

Can we use the mouse middle button(scroll wheel) to set up bindkeys?

Yes. You'll have first to map the wheel movement to mouse button events.
For example I have this in my XF86Config

Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

which maps up/down movement to buttons 4 and 5.

then you can set bindkeys to this buttons as usual.

ex:

hiSetBindKey(Application "<Btn5Down>" "geScroll(nil \"s\" nil)")
hiSetBindKey(Application "<Btn4Down>" "geScroll(nil \"n\" nil)")

hiSetBindKey(Application "Shift<Btn5Down>" "hiZoomRelativeScale(hiGetCurrentWindow() 0.8)")
hiSetBindKey(Application "Shift<Btn4Down>" "hiZoomRelativeScale(hiGetCurrentWindow() 1.25)")

All,
Is there an equivalent bindkeys for CIW?
Would be very usefull to scroll through the CIW

Thanks,

there are also a couple of zoom commands which are very useful for the
mouse button...
the following will allow zoom in /out based on where the mouse pointer
is located (as opposed to zooming in/out at the center of the display
if you used the regular zoom commands).

hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "<Btn4Down>" "hiZoomInAtMouse()")
hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "<Btn5Down>" "hiZoomOutAtMouse()")

One additional useful functions for binding the mouse wheels to along
with scrolling.....

You mean scroll the text window ?
If yes, then that's a X/Window manager issue, nothing related to the
Cadence software.
