Starcraft – rebind the camera drag to another mouse button in Starcraft II

starcraft-2

In Starcraft II, when you hold the third mouse button and move the mouse you drag your camera.

But there are two drawbacks to this:

  1. It requires me to remove one of my fingers of one of the main buttons.
  2. The button results in an annoying click sound, which is not useful for room mates and casting.

I've figured out that the two buttons at the side of my mouse aren't used for anything.

So, how do I bind the drag action to one of these side buttons?

This is subject to two things:

  1. It should not violate the terms of agreement, so I guess third-party software is not allowed.
  2. This buttons have to retain their original functionality in other applications, e.g. browser.

You can. Open the Hokeys page from the Menu, open the Global tab, expand the Camera node and it should be obvious how to change the key or add an alternate key after clicking on the Drag Scroll setting.
