Cool...well thanks for your considered reply

That all helps greatly. As Im getting older Im realisng some of the RSI on my hands and wrist; but also the benefits of muscle mem. So acceleration and mutlimode is foremost atm. Forking any motion that is navigationally up and down from the scroll wheel with qualirifers/context as well as accel control is my aim.

  1. Accel and quantity multiplier
  2. Alternate context/qual conversion of scroll to listbox up and down
    etc

Cheers Jason
