how to bind left/right click to mouse wheel up/down in mac os?
Ive been researching for days, for some app or script to let me bind mouse clicks to the mouse wheel in mac os (high sierra/mojave). On windows, xmousebuttoncontrol works wonders, and also there is autohotkey. Im able to reduce tons of excess clicking and hand strain this way, and actually be faster and more accurate with mouse wheel up for left click, mouse wheel down for right click. And I have a toggle off key for when normal scrolling is needed. I thought this functionality would be available for my macbook surely, but havent found anything suitable. There is no equivalent for autohotkey. Steermouse cant do this, None of Logitechs (have m310 mouse) software can do it, nor other software Ive looked into. Surely this is possible with some hacky python applescript function. I just dont know where to start. Any help would be appreciated.

A third-party piece of software that I believe might be able to do it is Better Touch Tool, which specialises in mapping mouse/trackpad events to various actions, including other mouse/trackpad events.
