Default Alt As Mouse Button

I'm trying to use my <Button4> as Alt but it's not working! I'm wanting to use this button along with my 1-9 keys.

First, I tried to simply bind <Button4>+1 in the EQ2 Options but it will not allow the second key (1).

I tried going into my mouse settings and setting the keystroke for <Button4> to be Alt. EQ2 doesn't even recognize the button when I do this.

Any ideas of what I can do to get this to work, or if it's even possible?

you can use X-Mouse Button Control (free) to assign many different things to mouse buttons including key-presses

I have software for my G5 Logitech mouse that allows me to assign keystrokes, but EQ2 won't even recognize the button when I do this.

I have always made my key bindings like this for every game I play, but it just won't work with EQ2.

Do you think this software will work differently? It looks like it works similar to my mouse's current software.

Installed the software, setup the keystroke for M4 to be Alt, and it didn't work.

I really don't think the problem was with the Logitech software I was using. It has all the same options that X-Mouse has, including the ability to assign keystrokes for certain programs.

I can use Button4 in EQ2 as long as I don't use software to assign a keystroke, however EQ2 will not allow me to assign Button4 + a number together.

I wanted to use the software assign Alt to the mouse button so that I could use the button for Alt + a number. The other MMO's I've played, this worked fine.

There must be something with EQ2 that I can change to make this work.

LogiGamer: Mouse profile utility for Logitech MX500/MX700/MX310/MX510 mice

used to use that and currently use an addon for Logitech Setpoint, but I cannot find what the name of it is since I'm at work. Will post back if I find it.

Edit: Found it
