2. Aug 17, 2020 XMBC is not available for Mac computers. Alternatives to X-Mouse Button Control include Mouse Speed Switcher, Remote Mouse, and AutoHotKey. There is also a portable version of XMBC available called X-Mouse Button Control Portable. Downloading X-Mouse Button Control is easy.

X marks the spot

X-Mouse Button Control is a software solution that allows you to reconfigure the buttons of your mouse. The user interface of the program is based on a standard window in which you can add, edit.

A computer generally can’t function fluidly without a mouse, but often the mice are inconvenient and need an upgrade. You can do this with XMBC, the program where you map keys to improve your setup.

Mapping in style

Transform your mouse with X-Mouse Button Control, a customizer that where you assign new functions to its keys.

If you’re using a computer, then odds are your hand is on the mouse right now. But couldn’t that mouse be more convenient if it had a double click feature and an easy shortcut to copy text? With X-Mouse Button Control, this can be a reality within a few minutes.

There are multiple options to map buttons on your mouse. This can be a simple one-key activation. You can even create an entire macro for swapping screens. It may be a bit complicated when you first see the interface, since everything is text-based and you may confuse selection areas. But once you get the hang of it, it’s easy.

One of the great benefits of X-Mouse is that it can support multiple users. This option is perfect for families, as each individual can create their own profile. This ensures that nobody will mess with your mouse settings. Keys can also be set to act differently within different applications. For example, you can set the option to close browser tabs in Chrome and make the same shortcut copy text in Microsoft Word.

Setting this application up is a tedious task the first few times, as you’ll need to know what shortcuts exist. Fortunately, the included user guide is highly detailed and explains a lot about how everything works.

Where can you run this program?

X-Mouse Button Control is available for Windows XP through to Windows 10.

Is there a better alternative?

No, while complex X-mouse offers more functionality than similar applications such as WizMouse, VoluMouse, and ControllerMate. However ControllerMate works on keyboards, gamepads, joysticks and other devices as well.

Our take

XMBC is a handy piece of software that you’ll enjoy using. It’s complicated, but after a while, you’ll end up with a profile for every family member.

Should you download it?

Yes. If you want to simplify your computer experience, this is the choice for you.

X-Mouse Button Controlfor Windows

2.19.2

Mission Control is a feature of the macOSoperating system. Dashboard, Exposé, and Spaces were combined together and renamed Mission Control in 2011 with the release of Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. Exposé was first previewed on June 23, 2003 at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference as a feature of the then forthcoming Mac OS X 10.3 Panther.^[1]

Mission Control allows a user to do the following:

• View all open application windows
• View all open application windows of a specific application
• Hide all application windows and show the desktop
• Manage application windows across multiple monitors
• Manage application windows across multiple virtual desktops

Usage[edit]

Exposé and Mission Control include three separate features for organizing windows and open applications:

All windows

Shows all open and unhidden windows, and all virtual desktops, shrinking their appearance so they all fit on a single screen. On newer Mac keyboards, this is activated from the F3 key, or F9 on older keyboards. On Apple's Magic Mouse or multi-touch trackpads, this can be activated by pulling up on the trackpad with three or four fingers. Mission Control redesigned this feature extensively to show all running desktops.

Application windows

Also called 'App Exposé'. Shows all open and minimized windows for the currently active application. During this mode, the user can choose a window to switch to by using mouse or keyboard, or cycle through windows of different applications by pressing the tab key. This can be activated by pulling down with three or four fingers on a trackpad, the F10 key on older keyboards, by pressing Control + F3 on newer Apple aluminium and Macbook keyboards, or by right-clicking the app's icon on the dock and selecting 'Show all windows'. On OS X Snow Leopard. App Exposé can be activated by clicking and holding the application's icon in the dock.

Desktop

Moves all windows off the screen, with just the edges of the windows visible at the side of the screen, giving the user clear access to the desktop and any icons on it. This can be activated by pressing CommandF3 on newer Apple aluminum and Macbook keyboards, the F11 key on older keyboards. On a trackpad, it can be selected by placing four fingers on the trackpad and pulling them away from each other.

In the first two cases, after Mission Control is activated, the user can select any window by clicking on it or selecting it with arrow keys and pressing Enter. Exposé then deactivates, leaving the selected window in the foreground. Using Apple Mighty Mouse, it is possible to select a window using the Scroll Ball, by scrolling in the direction of that window.

The keyboard shortcuts used for activating Exposé can be customized to be any of the function keys, the shift, control, option or command key, the fn key on Mac laptops, or even a mouse button on multiple-button mice (including Apple Mighty Mouse).

Different features of Mission Control can also be activated by moving the mouse to a 'hot corner' of the desktop. This system is off by default; it can be enabled from System Preferences.

Changes in Mission Control[edit]

When Exposé first premiered in 2003, it could be controlled using the F9, F10 and F11 keys.

The Exposé shortcut keys were moved to the F3 key to make room for the 'rewind', 'play/pause' and 'fast forward' keys. On Mac keyboards made after 2004, Exposé can be activated by using the F3 key or in combination with the command key, or on the trackpad of Macbooks supporting multi-touch interface. (However, F9, F10 and F11 can still be used for controlling Exposé with the function modifier key, or by enabling the 'Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys' setting.)

On Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, Exposé featured a new organized grid view and allowed users to activate Exposé from the Dock.

In Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, some features of Dashboard, Exposé, and Spaces were incorporated into Mission Control. This gave an overview of all running applications just like 'All windows' but grouped windows from the same application, and added a display of Spaces. Desktop view and application window view were retained, the latter under the name of App Exposé, and could be accessed through gestures on multi-touch trackpads.

Some users criticised Mission Control in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion for not offering an unobscured 'Exposé' view of all the windows in single workspace: windows of the same application are always hidden in bundles. This issue was fixed in Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, however, with a checkbox in the System Preference pane allowing a user to choose whether to group windows of the same application. Some features of Exposé and Spaces from OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard did not return, however: it does not show the names of the windows displayed, nor does it return the added functionality provided by Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard multiple desktops feature, known as 'Spaces,' which allowed users to drag and drop windows between desktops with a single click, and also allowed for larger thumbnail previews of each desktop in a 2D grid when in use.^[2]

Undocumented features[edit]

The 'blob' is a hidden and undocumented interface to Exposé that was discovered by a member of the MacNN forums.^[3] When clicked, it enables the 'Application Windows' mode. When Option+clicked, it enables the 'All Windows' mode.

Another undocumented feature of Exposé is for the show desktop function. It places all the open windows in a small box on the screen that can be moved to anywhere on the screen.^[4] This function has some bugs, after exiting the show desktop mode, the foremost window will not have a shadow and the user will not be able to move the window. However, this is easily fixed by using the show all function. It also had another bug that causes an area of screen the width of the minimised preview to become unresponsive to mouse clicks requiring the windowserver to be restarted.

Using the Shift key, Mission Control can be activated in slow motion, as can Dashboard and the minimise effect and several other animations. This is the same effect that was demonstrated by Steve Jobs during the unveiling of Exposé during the 2003 Worldwide Developers Conference.^[5][6]

Similar applications[edit]

Similar effects are used on other operating systems.

X Mouse Button Control Mac

Microsoft Windows 2.0 first introduced a window switcher in 1990. Using Alt+Tab ↹, users could see a flattened view of all open windows. Every version of Windows since then has also provided this window switching functionality. Vista and Windows 7 provide an additional feature called Windows Flip 3D, which has a broadly similar purpose. Flip 3D allows a user to flip through all open windows with a three-dimensional perspective. A downside to this method is that the front-most window covers a significant portion of the other windows, unlike Exposé. On the other hand, this allows the user to see the contents of the front-most window, while this can be difficult in Exposé, especially if the user has a large number of windows open. Vista's Desktop Window Manager exposes a public API that allows any application to access the same thumbnail representations that Flip3D uses, and so there are a number of third party add-ons that are able to provide Exposé-like functionality in Vista. A very few third party applications, such as the Emcee Desktop Organizer, provide Mission Control-like organization of similar windows into visual 'stacks,' or support Windows 8's 'Immersive' Apps. Windows 10 adds a very similar feature called Task View which also includes multiple-desktop support.

Microsoft's Intellipoint Software for Microsoft Mice has a feature similar to Exposé^[7] as it also works with live images of windows, rather than static representations. Additionally, several freeware Windows applications exist to emulate the functionality of Exposé.

Compiz and KWin are compositing window managers for systems using the X Window System. Both include plugins similar to Exposé - the scale plugin in Compiz and the present windows effect in KWin. Skippy also performs similar functions to Exposé.

Starting with version 3.0, the GNOME desktop environment has gained a new mode called 'Overview', which is used to launch applications and manage workspaces. In this mode, windows are scaled and arranged in an Exposé-like fashion for quick switching.

For Classic or Legacy Macintosh systems, the free Finder Workspaces^[8] offers functionality similar to Spaces.

Chrome OS has a window overview mode^[9] that shows a thumbnail of all open windows, available by pressing the 'window switcher' key or swiping up with 3 fingers on the trackpad. Windows in overview mode can be closed by clicking an associated close button, or selected by clicking on the window thumbnail, which also closes overview mode and brings the selected window to the foreground.
