X Button Maker

X Button Maker is a useful and practical software solution whose main function consists of helping you create your own mouse or keyboard shortcuts, allowing you to execute programs or other tasks with minimal effort.

Following the installation process, the application retreats to the notification area, as it runs minimized by default, in order to interfere as little as possible with your activities.

However, you can easily access and configure X Button Maker’s functioning parameters by right-clicking on its icon and selecting the ‘Set of Key Assignments’ option from the context menu.

The utility aims to help you run programs or perform various actions on your computer in just a few quick moves of your mouse or keyboard presses, in order to save you time and effort, while also increasing your work productivity.

For this purpose, X Button Maker lets you ‘Register Macros or Mouse Gestures’, customizing them to execute precisely the tasks that you need them to. If opting for the ‘Key’ alternative, you need to press the keyboard button you intend to use and select the modifier (SHIFT, CTRL, ALT or Windows).

On the other hand, if you choose to work with a ‘Mouse Gesture’, you can pick the button (Left, Right, Center, 4th or 5th button), as well as the action (‘Dragged to the Left’, ‘Dragged to the Right’, ‘Dragged to the Top’ or ‘Dragged to the bottom’, ‘Click’ and ‘Double-Click’).

In the next step, you can define the application, action or task to be assigned to your shortcut, being able to optionally input a note for it, and you’re done. To save the configuration, you can hit ‘OK’ in the ‘Setting’ section and you can start working with it immediately.

In conclusion, X Button Maker is a reliable and effective tool that you can resort to for designing your own shortcuts and hotkeys on the fly, enabling you to optimize your workflow on the computer.
