Mouse bindkey with button 8 and 9

I have a mouse with more than just 3 buttons and a scroll wheel. XEV shows the extra buttons as "button 8" and "button 9". I want to use them as bindkeys but does not work like buttons 1-5 do. Any ideas?

I don't think this is possible - I looked into it a while ago. There are some limitations in Qt and in X11 as to how applications can access these buttons, which limits our ability to support them
If you want this, you should contact Cadence Customer Support so that an enhancement request can be filed.
Regards,
Andrew.

Hi Andrew,
Has anything changed in this field in the recent years? I just have a faint hope, that no key mapping at the OS level is needed now. Support for a second wheel or buttons would be such a great feature for CAD tools.

Not as far as I know, but I haven't re-checked for a while. I suggest you contact customer support.
