About Mouse Button Shortcuts 2 - Selection History
- Tools, Systems & Learning > Development Tools & Automation
Go back and forth on your selections with the side buttons on your mouse or assign any other command you want.
Go back and forth just like in your browser.
It keeps track of your recent selections and allows you to go back and forth with a mouse button press. By default the "selection history" shortcuts are preconfigured. They work just like in your web browser.
Jump quickly between selected objects and editor windows. No extra window or setup required, it works out of the box!
Assign shortcuts to your 4th and 5th mouse button.
The default Unity Shortcut Manager can not assign anything to those mouse buttons. But with this asset you can!
The tool also searches through all the shortcuts and [MenuItem] attributes in your project which you can then assign to your mouse buttons.
Write your own shortcut actions in C#.
Step 1: Make a static method.
Step 2: Add a [MouseCommandAttribute("YourCoolCmdName")] attribute.
Step 3: Use the Mouse Shortcut window to assign it to a button.
Step 4: You are done. Enjoy!
Supports Unity 6, Unity 6.3, ...
Windows and Mac are supported (no Linux support yet, sorry).
Full source code included.
I publish this plugin with full source code because as a developer I know how annoying it is to not have source code access. If you like it then please remind others to purchase the plugin. Don't just copy and paste it everywhere. Thank you.
Caveats (please read this!)
1) Only the middle, fourth and fifth mouse buttons are supported. No more, no less. This has technical reasons and most likely won't change. If you need more mouse buttons then I recommend you assign them to keys in your mouse driver software and then use those in the Unity ShortcutManager.
2) This is an Editor only Asset. There is no runtime API.
3) It does not work for selections in the new UI Toolkit UI Builder. The UI Builder is a completely new system done by Unity and sadly it's still locked up tight (not much we can do with it). Hopefully this will change in future Unity releases.
Use cases
You want to be able to easily go back and forth between your most recent selections and/or opened windows within Unity? Then this is for you because that's exactly why I built it for myself.
You wish you could add a custom action to your fourth and fifth mouse button? There is an attribute which lets you easily add new custom code methods.
