Neat, isn't it? While I'm leaving the left button alone, the remaining three buttons now invoke the three Exposé functions and Dashboard (using three buttons without and one with the right button held down). For the now just four remaining buttons I now have four combinations each, however, and more: After enabling it in the Universal Access control panel and now being assigned to the right button, I can simply hold the right button and the scroll wheel will now zoom in and out. That means that I need to first press the right button and then the left button in addition (chord clicking, in a way) to get a context menu which sounds odd at first but which is actually easy to get used to. In the same vein, I changed the right mouse button to just key functionality. So at least in theory you now have one action button less (because the scroll wheel now only activates the key) but for the remaining buttons (five with my mouse) you now have two combinations each (with and without ). Since the scroll wheel button is now a modifier key, all other mouse buttons can now be combined with the scroll wheel button. Very neat and quite intuitive two-dimensional scrolling with just one scroll wheel! It doesn't stop there, though. That is where the scroll wheel's button comes in handy: I've assigned the scroll wheel button to the key, so without pressure the scroll wheel still goes up and down, but when I hold it down it goes left and right instead. You may have noticed that the scroll wheel normally can only scroll vertically, but you can hold the key to make the scroll wheel go horizontally instead. Not trying to spam, but since this thread matches my previous post a lot better, maybe some people might draw some ideas from it here: I'm using USB Overdrive to fully exploit the six-button Logitech mouse I'm using.

I don't think they have changed that driver in a LONG time. The keyboard works! Then I loaded USB Overdrive and custom configured my mouse. What did I do? I figured out that I can remap the control, option, and command keys and I unloaded the LCC. On the Mac, I can't live without a command key. So, I had a really advanced mouse that was acting like a mighty mouse and I couldn't get rid of the LCC because of the keyboard. It wouldn't work however because the Logitech Driver recognized that it was a logitech mouse and wouldn't give control of it to any other driver. Found out that the G5 isn't supported by their driver at all, so I turned to USB Overdrive like you did. So I loaded the LCC and the keyboard all of a sudden worked, but the mouse still didn't at all. Hooked them both up to the mac and the mouse worked, but none of the buttons and the command key on the keyboard didn't work at all. I have a logitech elite keyboard and G5 mouse.

Go here to learn how to do that amongst a variety of other window management tricks for Mac OS X.I completely agree with you David.

Longtime Mac users may remember that double-clicking the titlebar has served other functions before, ranging from window shading to minimizing, but now in the most modern MacAOS and Mac OS X versions, it enlarges and zooms a window instead.įinally, another option would be to set up a specific keyboard shortcut for maximizing windows, a trick that’s not specific to the latest versions of Mac OS X and works on prior releases as well.

If you happen to figure it out, be sure to let us know in the comments! How to Maximize Windows with a Double-Click in Mac OS XĪnother way to maximize windows in Mac OS X now without making them full screen is to simply double-click the window titlebar, this instantly enlarges the window in the same way that option-clicking the green maximize button does, zooming in without going full screen. There is probably a way to permanently switch the Option+Click behavior to become the standard behavior using a defaults write command string, but thus far it has yet to be discovered. Using the Option+click will result in a larger window rather than a full screen window.

You’ll notice that the button changes from two arrows moving in opposite directions indicating expansion into full screen mode, into a (+) plus icon, indicating the buttons behavior has changed. To change the maximize behavior, simply hold down the OPTION button as you hover your mouse cursor over the green zoom button. How to Make the Green Maximize Window Button Zoom Windows in Mac OS X If you prefer the older maximize button behavior and would rather windows become larger instead of being sent into full screen, you can modify the maximize behavior with a simple keypress, or by using a new double-click trick. In older versions of Mac OS X, clicking on the green maximize button would expand and enlarge the window to a larger size, but in the newest macOS releases, clicking on the green maximize window sends the window (or app) into Full Screen mode.
