Mouse button switching modes
You can use a three button mouse to switch between systems. However, when
used in this way, the action of the middle mouse button or scroll wheel click
is ‘trapped’ by the Adder unit and is not passed to the system. This makes it
unavailable for use in controlling applications on the selected system. The scroll
wheel scrolling action is unaffected and passed on normally to the systems, only
the scroll wheel click is used by the Adder unit.
• To use the mouse buttons to change systems, use options U1 (default) or
U4.
• To use the scroll wheel click/third mouse button with the systems, use
options U3 or U5.
• To report only a simple 2-button mouse to the systems, use option U2.
