  • Often as a lazier way to press the face buttons for slow games. But also custom turbo patterns for fast games. E.g.:

    • In Genshin Impact, the back buttons are all face buttons, but with select ones set to turbo for automatic item pickup, or dialog skipping, etc.
      • Also very comfy to use them while swimming
    • In Hades II:
      • L/R4 are the two shoulder buttons for comfier portal/character interaction
      • L/R5 do autoattack and autospecial on turbo
    • In Valheim, one lets me Dodge with a single button press instead of the chord the game demands you use
    • In Balatro
      • L/R4 switches hand sorting modes, which has no in-game shortcuts, still
      • L5 restarts a run on long press
      • R5 quits to main menu and resumes with a multi button sequence, to “soft reset”
    • In Tabletop Simulator, the most common actions like clicking, selecting, flipping a card, and drawing, are all mapped to the back buttons for ergonomics, freeing face/shoulder buttons for more advanced stuff
    • In Minecraft, various back buttons are used to enable different overlaid controls when clicked/pressed based on the modpack.

    Etc etc!






  • I did in fact use to add large padding to the menus back when it was possible, so I couse use my drawing tablet to navigate bookmarks! But alas…

    I think it’s a bug specific to how Firefox handles menus though. Case in point, it only does this some of the times, usually after two levels. Just a single level, and it stays open, except when the second level is too wide to fit to the space available to the right—

    As I was typing this I realized that is it. It doesn’t work if the new level cannot open to the right of the menu. Then, moving the mouse away slightly closes it. But now that I’ve moved the bookmark menu button to the left, it stays open for four or five levels deep!

    Gotta get used to the new location, but good enough!!

    (I know, I need to sort out my mess of a bookmarks collection. It’s almost two decade old, cut me some slack!)
