hi, I use a bluetooth mouse with my tab s3 as it's easier for me being disabled, everything works great except I can't move a webpage by clicking and holding the mouse button like I can in samsung internet, I would like to use chrome but this is stopping me, pages scroll when using the scroll wheel but I would find it easier to just click and hold mouse button to scroll page, what can I do

I have a logitech laptop USB mouse that works w/ the dock, except for the scroll wheel. Is there some kind of settings screen for the mouse once you plug it in? Do I have any chance of getting this working properly? I also can't seem to hold down the button and highlight text for cut/paste.
Thanks,
Brian
Scroll wheel works fine here with a Razer Orochi
You can't highlight text on holding button since Android doesn't support it, just hold mouse button (like longpress on the screen) steadily and you'll be able to select text
My scroll wheel kind of works in some apps. It is useless though as it skips one line at a time and doesn't always even do that. Is there a way to get to a mouse configuration or setup screen somehow?
I know on the the tablet, I just long press on the screen to choose the text. Is there a way to do it with just the trackpad and/or mouse?
Hold down button on trackpad.
That worked but I can't seem to get Ctrl + C to work in a browser.

That is not a shortcut that works.
You have to remember, Android is made for touch. When you hook up the dock, the trackpad basically plays the role of your finger.
Just plugging in the dock doesn't make the Prime a normal laptop- instead it is a tablet with its bluetooth keyboard solidly attached. True "transforming" tablets that convert from a mobile OS to a real OS when docked are years away.
Honestly I think its cool Asus rigged the shortcuts we do have.
Control+V for pasting.....oi

found a great way to select text
Press alt the drag across screen where you want to select. I find it easier and more intuitive than double tap then select.

or you can select by hovering the "arrow" over the text/word you want to copy, then touch the touchpad with 2fingers (long hold), the text/word will be selected.

Standard keyboard shortcuts work fine with Android as long as you have a keyboard.
CTRL - A (Select all)
CTRL - V (Paste)
CTRL - C (Copy)
CTRL - X (Cut)
All of these work fine in Android, and within the Android browser. I just tested this myself with my own Prime & keyboard dock. You can also use the Menu button in place of the CTRL button.
Also in the stock browser:
CTRL - T opens a new tab.
CTRL - N opens a new tab.
CTRL - I zooms in.
CTRL - O zooms.
CTRL - H opens history
CTRL - P opens settings.
CTRL - L highlights the address bar text
CTRL - B opens bookmarks.
CTRL - J opens recent downloads
CTRL - F opens text finder
CTRL - W closes selected tab
CTRL - R reloads current tab
CTRL - S opens the "share" menu.
CTRL - 1 goes to the first tab (other numbers open other tabs, in order from left to right.)
All of these are keyboard shortcuts included in the stock Android browser and are not added by Asus. They are intended to work with products like Google TV which uses a keyboard interface, as well as bluetooth keyboards and phones that have built-in keyboards.
For the OP:
If you find it hard to select text by clicking on the screen and holding, using the trackpad, click at the beginning or end of the text you want to copy and then hold shift and move across the text using the arrow keys. This will highlight the text and then you can use the keyboard shortcuts above to cut/copy/paste.
I have an AT&T Captivate with teamhacksung's build 13. When I connect the BT mouse I only have "Back" and "Click" buttons functioning. I used to be able to do "Back", "Click", "Menu", "Search" from stock froyo. Is there a way to redefine the buttons or add additional function?

I know ICS in tablet mode allows the menu and search options on screen but would like to have quicker access to those rather than treating the mouse like a Macintosh one
Is anyone using a mouse in ICS with their i717? More specifically, a bluetooth mouse? I have 3 buttons and a scroll wheel on the mouse, but they all do the same thing; select. Typically right click is back, and clicking the scroll wheel is 'menu'. has anyone gotten this stuff working? I like to set up my not eon a stand and click around with a bt mouse I have on my desk.
Yeah, I have a wireless usb and i have the same issue. I suppose its just the way they have the mouse setup on ICS. Well atleat on our build of ics atleast. Maybe there is an app that allows you to modify the button input layout possibly.
Hi guys I paired my BT mouse to my gs3 (it's an Apple Magic Mouse).
It works perfectly but I can only select something or slide, I can't go back. So I use left mouse button to select and right doen't work.
Is there a way to use right button to go back?
