Mouseover macros for mouse buttons?

Hey guys, I’m setting up mouseover macros for my Disc Priest. They work fine for spells bound to my keyboard, but I have a couple spells bound to buttons on my mouse, and they don’t seem to work. Is there a macro I can use for the spells on my mouse, or do I have to move them?

If it helps, I’m using: #showtooltip Shadow Mend
/cast [@mouseover,exists,nodead,help,][exists,nodead,help][@player] Shadow Mend

Thanks!

If you have a programmical mouse, and you have an issue using mouseovers with the page back/forward buttons, a work around is to reprogram the mouse only buttons to keys on your keyboard through the mouse’s software. I used the 7 to 0 keys & ] [ \ keys which allow me to use the mouse overs with the mouse buttons.

I think healbot is probably better than clique at least in my opinion since it is self aware of all the buttons on your mouse.

As has been said the easiest fix is to either use a healing add-on with this functionality (vuhdo, healbot), or to use clique in combination with the raid frames you are already using. I use a healing add-on to bind filler and spammable heals to mouse buttons (ex. in disc left click is pw:s, right click is shadow mend, in holy left click is flash heal, right click is heal, shift right is prayer of healing, etc.). You can do the same for extra buttons if you have more mouse buttons.

I think the problem arises when the mouse hovers over UnitFrames. While the mouse is not over something that is targetable, it should work fine.

But when the mouse is over a UnitFrame, the mouse button will be interpreted as a “click” on the frame, and not as a button press.
