[PCB_FORUM] mouse challenge!

I've recently moved to a Logitech Marble Trackball mouse due to carpal tunnel. 
I'd like to know if anyone has a good example of a dedicated lefthand trackball 
mouse.
  I find trackball mice helps greatly with the carpal tunnel.
  Any other thoughts on mice to assist with carpal tunnel would be welcome.
   
  And no I don't use strokes in Allegro. 
  Had to mention Allegro once in the e-mail ...:-)

  It is damn near impossible to use strokes with a trackball :)

  In a previous life, I was doing schematic entry in Mentor and learned the 
"strokes"!
  Wow they were just great. Once you get used to them they are very powerful.
   
  When I started up on Cadence I found they had only a few strokes and most of 
them
  didn't work well so I went back to using function keys for the basic things. 
Of course
  it doesn't help much that Cadence follows the Select a process then select 
the thing the 
  process is to affect. Whereas Mentor you select the item, then tell it what 
process you want to
  use. 
   
  One of these days I will train my Cadence tool how to use strokes better but 
as a librarian
  there are only a few basic things I need now.

      I've seen those strokes performed by Mentor users, and it works really 
fast. Some of them look like ninja's just stroking their mouse.

  LOL... the Mentor people think "strokes" are the best thing since sliced 
bread.  
   
  Give me configurable keyboard control anyday.

  env variable,  "unset no_dynamic_zoom"
   
  why on earth it's even an option? about as much use as strokes.

    Hey guys,
   
  I?m not sure what?s going on with my mouse, or if it?s even a result of 
upgrading to 15.5.
   
  Before, while on 15.2, clicking the middle mouse button would continue 
zooming in if I had just zoomed in.
  If I had just zoomed out, the middle mouse button would continue the zooming 
out when clicked.
   
  Now, clicking the middle mouse button zooms me in, whether I just zoomed out 
or in.
   
  Not a big deal, but anyone have any clues as to where this is set?
   
  Thanks!
