[0.18.18] Toggle Filter Bug

[DJQuad]

On mice without out a middle button, Toggle Filter is set to RMB, however when I right-click an empty inventory slot on a cargo wagon for example, nothing happens. I tried rebinding Filter Toggle from RMB to another key but it says it has to be mouse-related, and all other combinations of shift/alt/ctrl/RMB/LMB are taken.

If you need any further info please let me know.

Thanks for the report however as far as I can see there is no such logic to change the default key binding based off the mouse the computer has.

You need a mouse with a scroll wheel to play the game because as you said: the other combinations of buttons are already used.

Thanks for the reply. It's a Lenovo mouse that came with the PC. It does have a scroll wheel but pressing it doesn't act like a middle mouse button.

I originally reported this in "Simple Questions and Short Answers" and many others said it's a bug and to report it.

Edit: There's clearly some sort of logic involved because when going into the default keybindings, there's nothing that's bound to MMB.

This varies from https://wiki.factorio.com/Keyboard_bindings#Inventory

Since you don't think this is a bug, what's the workaround?

You need a mouse with a middle button that's clickable.

It's stupid not to support that but oh well. You were incorrect about the "no such logic to change the default key binding based off the mouse"

It would take all of 4 lines of code to fix this.

Code: Select all

lbutton & rbutton::mouseclick, middle
rbutton & lbutton::mouseclick, middle
rbutton::mouseclick, right
lbutton::mouseclick, left

i have to respectfully disagree :

works fine for me.

PS: i found a funny thing, when you try to bind it to "wheel up", it says "it has to be mouse enable" to justify not accepting which is slightly misleading.

The workaround works. Thanks!
