NohBoard scroll and middle mouse button workaround
Hiya, for those of you who have been wanting scroll or middle mouse button functionality, I've made a little workaround using autohotkey. It remaps scroll up, scroll down, and middle mouse button to themselves, along with a standard keyboard key. For my purposes, I'm using number pad 7 for scroll up, number pad 8 for scroll down, and number pad 9 for middle mouse button. These can be mapped in NohBoard with a different name, I use ScU, ScD, and MMB. The keycodes I use for these are 103, 104, and 105 respectively.
Note that in order to make this work, I had to add a delay in the emulated keystroke for the scrollwheel, as without a delay NohBoard does not display the keystroke. The initial scroll itself isn't delayed, but there will be 25 milliseconds between allowed scroll inputs. This makes browser scrolling unusable but the delay is not very noticeable for TF2 weapon switching. 25 milliseconds seems to be reasonable stable for multiple rolls, any less and NohBoard does not display the scrolls well. This delay might hinder someone like Gocnak who likely wants no delay between scroll commands for his jump bind.
Middle Mouse Button seems to work fine.
Here's the autohotkey script. I'm new to the program so there's probably a way to remove the delay between scrolls, retaining full wheel functionality, but I am not sure how to do that yet.
To use this you'll have to install the AutoHotKey and create the script. Run it before you tab into your game and you're good to go.
I modified the FPS Layout to include the MMB and scroll buttons. Again, Numpad 7 8 and 9 are used to represent the mouse functions.
I've made a different kind of fps style layout for my own purposes. Maybe someone else might find this useful.
