How to customize mouse buttons on a Chromebook. New features of ChromeOS 120 | HelenTech

In this article we'll show you how to customize the mouse buttons on a Chromebook using only the features built into the operating system. Please note that at the time of writing, ChromeOS 120 Stable requires the flag to be enabled, so it has not been officially rolled out yet.

By the way, in the ChromeOS 120 update that rolled out the other day, the previously combined settings page for Touchpad and Mouse has been separated into separate settings pages for Mouse and Touchpad.

To customize mouse buttons, connect the mouse via Bluetooth, receiver, or USB,[マウス] > [マウスボタンをカスタマイズ]And click the plus button on your mouse to recognize and customize the button. This feature allows for example Logitech's MX Master / Anywhere series and RazerNow you can change mouse buttons without special software.

Specific methods are briefly summarized below.

First of all, as I mentioned at the beginning, the currently deployed ChromeOS 120 Stable has flags. chrome://flags/#enable-peripheral-customization It must be enabled.

Customize buttons

[マウスボタンのカスタマイズ]When you navigate to a page, the plus button is not initially displayed, but if you press the plus button with your mouse (forward, backward, middle-click, etc.) on that page, the button is registered. You will then see a list of available button functions from the drop-down menu that appears next to the button.

What's even better here is that you can now assign keyboard shortcuts to buttons. Selecting key combinations from the drop-down menu opens the Assign Keyboard Shortcuts pop-up window, where you can assign key settings to mouse buttons.

With this setting, if you are using an external keyboard with a key arrangement that is not compatible with ChromeOS, you can use your Chromebook more conveniently by assigning functions such as screenshot, overview, or multi-paste.

It does require the flag to be enabled, but I think it's working well so far and I hope it'll be officially rolled out in a future update.

I decided to use the button to provide the overview and set the multi-paste to the middle button.
