Mouse Rebinding???

Many people in the rebind threads recommend autohotkey, but none posted an actual script for noobs like myself. Here we go, put this in an .ahk file:


Run Client.exe, C:\Program Files (x86)\Path of Exile
#IfWinActive Path of Exile ; makes the rebind exclusive to the PoE window
Capslock::MButton ; 'Capslock' key acts like the 'middle mouse button'


Use that .ahk file as your PoE shortcut, and you're set.


Just like that, i now have space for 8 skills, not 7! Thanks to the extra slot i'm going to try using a click to move key. I found it useful in D3 on a laptop touchpad.


Edit: Capslock works better, since it's a useless key anyway. Don't know how to make the script automatically exit when you exit PoE, but that's a minor inconvenience. Anyone know how?

Edit 2: Figured it out after a lot of pain. Here's a copy of my final version of the PoE rebind (click quote to get better, tabbed spacing):



SetTimer process_watcher, 2000 ; check every 2 seconds

Run Client.exe, C:\Program Files (x86)\Path of Exile ; start the game

#IfWinActive Path of Exile ; makes the rebind exclusive to the PoE window

Capslock::MButton ; 'Capslock' key acts like the 'middle mouse button' ; return is implicit

process_watcher:

Process Exist, Client.exe ; check to see if PoE is still open

If ErrorLevel = 0

Exitapp ; if it's closed, exit the .ahk file



Alternately, you can do what i did: say goodbye to Capslock's original use entirely, since who ever uses it? Simply throw the below line into an .ahk file, and put a shortcut to that file in your Windows Start Menu, in the Startup folder. Bonus: now you have a useful middle mouse button simulator in every application, great for scrolling.
