Windows mouse button remapping utilities
This cluster consists of Windows utilities that let users remap extra mouse buttons to keyboard shortcuts, often via config files, targeting terminal, coding, and general workflows. Dated entries before the index start appear sporadically: one in October 2024, one in December 2025, one in March 2026, and two in July 2026, showing no clear trend. StarPie leads traction with 592 stars, followed by xbox-controller-mapper (92) and learnomarchy (68).
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
