#Ways to increase precision for fine parameter adjustment

When adjusting parameter with mouse, it's possible to make fine adjustments by either holding Shift while adjusting, or holding second button while still holding first button. Holding shift is default way of doing it as it's also applicable to touch and touchpad input, but combination of Shift and both mouse buttons stacks precision (when possible to use both).

thanks, you made my day, didn't know about using both mouse buttons

I wonder if that is platform specific, I can't get the double mouse button trick to work, only using shift slows a parameter change for me (on macos). In preferences I tried using 'absolute mouse mode' in case it had any effect and it didn't, but it did weirdly break the shift behaviour (?!)

I can't really check it on macos, but I imagine with their tendency to put only one button, it might not woek

You're memory of macos might be a bit out of date 🙂 multiple button mice have been a thing on osx as long as I have been using it at least. I suspect it's just a bug.

plus there's magic mouse where you have to enable second button imitation in similar way it works for Microsoft touch mouse out of the box

#

and I suppose on both of these you wouldn't be able to hold first and second mouse buttons at once, unless you can configure gesture for that

Two button mice just work as you'd expect with macos, you can right click without also using ctrl
