Mouse codes

Only mouse buttons can have controls be bound to them in the options menu. Mouse movement, vertical scrolling and horizontal scrolling are hardcoded, and their default actions cannot be assigned to other keys or buttons, nor can scrolling or moving the mouse be made to do anything else.

Mouse buttons are handled as a signed 32-bit integer, meaning that through editing options.txt, values from Template:Code to Template:Code can be specified without being rejected by the game as invalid.<ref>Template:Bug</ref> However, the USB HID specification only permits mouse buttons from 1 to 65535,<ref>https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/documents/hut1_12v2.pdf</ref> meaning that all negative values and the vast majority of the positive values can never actually be assigned to in-game actions without file editing.

Only the first eight mouse buttons can have controls assigned to them.Template:Until

On Linux, mouse buttons up to 48Template:Upcoming can be specified (evdev key press events 272 to 319) - it is not known if any supported operating systems support a 49th or higher mouse button as input. The maximum mouse button on macOS is 32, and the maximum mouse button on Windows is 5.

For the first three mouse buttons, the translation keys match the key IDs; all other buttons follow a generic template.
