Using the Mouse Scroll Wheel for Navigating

You can use the mouse scroll wheel to navigate in your Avid editing application, as described in

the following table. You can also set the speed to scroll with the mouse wheel, and assign

functions to three additional mouse buttons, as described in “Customizing Mouse Functions” on

page 37.

Customizing Mouse Functions

Your Avid editing application lets you set the speed of scrolling with the mouse wheel, and lets

you assign functions to three additional mouse buttons.

When you map mouse buttons, make sure that the modifier key that you assign to the button and

command does not already have an alternate function.

You cannot assign functions to the standard left and right mouse buttons.
