Mouse Button Shortcuts and Selection History

Links: Documentation

¿What does it do exactly?

✔️ Enables custom shortcuts for the 4th and 5th mouse button.
Something which the default ShortcutManager can not do.

✔️ Go back and forth in the selection history using mouse buttons.
By default the "selection history" shortcuts are preconfigured. They work just like in your web browser.

✔️ Supports Unity 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, ...

✔️ Full source code included

⚙️ D E T A I L S

● Assign shortcuts to your 4th and 5th mouse button.
The default Unity Shortcut Manager can not assign anything to those mouse buttons. Now you can! The tool also searches through all the shorcuts and [MenuItem] attributes in your project which you can then assign to your mouse buttons.

● Go back and forth just like in your browser..
Jump quickly between selected objects and editor windows. No extra window or setup required, it works out of the box!

● 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 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, ... (LTS)

● Full source code included
You can see how it's done and make changes if needed.

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.
Thanks ❤️


⚠️ Caveats (please read this!)
1) It currently only works on WINDOWS. Mac and/or Linux support might be added later depending on demand.

2) 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.

3) This is an Editor only Asset. There is no runtime API.

☕ 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.
