[Opera 11] Side scroll with trackpoint: how?

[Tommy the cat]

Using the trackpoint with the middle click above the touchpad you are able to scroll up and down, but also left and right.

This also works in Internet Explorer, but not in Opera! So what I'm trying is to alter the buttons in the opera preferences, but I cannot seem the find the right button to alter to 'scroll left' of 'scroll right'. I've tried the buttons 6, 7, 8 and 9.

Does anybody know how to succesfully scroll sideways, without using the annoying smooth scroll?

Thanks!

Edit: this doesn't seem to work. Edit2: oh that's for Linux.

You need to edit tp4table.dat. See if the following link helps.

EDIT: Looking at my Win 7 directory, it looks like the file is either tp4table.dat or tp4scrol.dat under C:\Program Files\Synaptics\SynTP

The code below is for vertical scrolling only. Maybe you can figure out what to add for horizontal scrolling.

Code: Select all

; Opera web browser
*,*,opera.exe,*,*,*,WheelStd,0,9

The files tp4table.dat and tp4scrol.dat can be found on numerous locations on my system (except SYSTEM32 and I don't have a Synaptics folder). I think C:\DRIVERS\WIN\UNAV\... is my best change. There are more than one files named like this (*.DAT and *.INI), so I will see what I can do.

I run Win7.

I don't think C:\DRIVERS\WIN\UNAV\... is an active folder for the drivers. That is where the drivers are unpacked to for installation.

Now that you mention that I think you're right. That's the folder we (manually) extract the drivers for installation... could have known. I will check other folders.

Well ProgramFiles/Apoint2K seems to be an active folder. Both *.DAT files contain the opera code as mentioned. Nonetheless I will soon try some other codes.
