Disabling trackpoint's press-to-select.

#1 Post by T7TrainingSystems » Wed Jul 18, 2007 1:43 am

I love the trackpoint, but now and then I will tap it when going for the 'g' or 'h' key.

That means 'press-to-select' (or whatever it's called) essentially clicks the cursor mouse wherever the mouse cursor is.

Normally it's annoying - it scrolls a page because that's where I left the mouse, or this morning I sent a half-finished email because it was hovering over 'Send'.

When I go to UltraNav Wizard, there doesn't seem to be any way to turn this off. I seem to remember there was on my 600X...?? Maybe I was dreaming.

Any suggestions (apart from typing more accurately)?

Thanks!

it's easy enough to change that, once you're in the mouse settings then go to the ultranav tab then select the trackpoint area and click settings then untick "click to select" in there.

Never thought to look in there, was so busy going to the Navigation Wizard.

Thanks for taking the time - did the treat!
