LTspice : Cadence Style Zoom with Right Mouse Button

Back to list

Okay, may the Cadencification continue. Once you are in flow, you will be creative. Cadence has set the benchmark that every other tool must aspire to.

What : You want to be able to click and drag with the right mouse button to define the zoom rectangle and not have to first launch the zoom command.

Note : This implementation achieves the objective, but doesn't cause the zoom rectangle to be drawn - so it's not perfect, but still works good enough.

See below post on LTspice customization with Autohotkey.

Add this code :

   RButton::
        MouseGetPos, sx, sy
     If ( GetKeyState( "RButton", "P"))
     {
        Loop{
            Sleep, 50
            MouseGetPos, cx, cy
            If ( abs( cx-sx) > 5 or abs( cy-sy) > 5 )
            {
                Send z
                ControlClick, X%sx% Y%sy%,,,,,D
                Break
            }
            If ( !GetKeyState("RButton", "P") )
            {
                Click Right
                return
            }
        }
        KeyWait, RButton
        Click Up
        return
     } else {
        Click Right
        return
     }
