Activate the button selected.
sorry, I'm still not getting it. can you give me an example of how this feature could be usefully applied please.

would it for example trigger the a-b loop button on toolbar, (but only if mouse was postioned on that button already ?)

there are some things I'd like to do from a wireless keyboard ( or from a remote that emulates a keyboard ) but they don't have hot keys - so I can only do them with a mouse:
the a-b loop is one example. another is to bring up the full screen controller when in full screen ( too see how long elapsed/remaining ). will tha activeate button help me with these issues ?
