Have you ever wished you could customize the middle button on your Windows keyboard? Well, you're in luck! In this article, we will show you how to create a custom command for the middle button when pressing Windows+Shift+S. This handy shortcut can save you time and make your computer usage more efficient.
To begin, let's first understand what the Windows+Shift+S shortcut does by default. When you press this combination of keys, it activates the built-in Snip & Sketch tool, allowing you to capture screenshots on your computer. While this is a useful feature, you may prefer to assign a different command to the middle button.
To create a custom command for the middle button, follow these simple steps:
- Open the Start menu by clicking on the Windows icon in the bottom-left corner of your screen.
- Type "Mouse settings" in the search bar and click on the "Mouse settings" option that appears.
- In the Mouse settings window, scroll down until you find the "Additional mouse options" link and click on it.
- A new window called "Mouse Properties" will open. Click on the "Buttons" tab at the top of the window.
- In the "Button configuration" section, you will see a list of buttons. Locate the "Middle Button" option and click on it.
- Click on the "Change" button to assign a new command to the middle button.
- A window will appear with a list of commands to choose from. Scroll through the list and select the command you want to assign to the middle button.
- Once you have selected your desired command, click "OK" to save the changes.
- Close the "Mouse Properties" window and you're done!
Now, when you press the Windows+Shift+S shortcut, your custom command will be executed instead of opening the Snip & Sketch tool. This allows you to personalize your keyboard and tailor it to your specific needs.
Remember, you can always go back to the "Mouse settings" and "Mouse Properties" windows to change or remove the custom command for the middle button. Feel free to experiment and find the configuration that works best for you.
