Center the Cursor
Button on the standard mouse that, when pressed, centers the cursor on the monitor. | |
This makes finding the cursor easier, and speeds up navigation once you get comfortable with the new function.
This has cursor centering plus lots of other stuff...

But it's not on the mouse. [ldischler, Jul 22 2005]

Damn good idea. The only thing better would be a button to send the cursor exactly where it needed to be. |
|
| |
What if you have two monitors? |
|
| |
Just default to the monitor the cursor is already on. |

I saw a tool built into Windows that supposedly sent the cursor exactly where it needed to be - to the 'OK' or 'YES' button in every dialogue. I managed to live with it for, say, 30 seconds. If you always want to cancel something (one of those boxes Windows sends you that asks if you want to delete everything and reappears when you say no) if gets [insert expletive here] annoying. |

Windows does that concentric circle thing around the pointer when you press CTRL (if you have it enabled). Not good enough for ya huh? |

[dbmag9] I use that function. I don't know if it works with all software, but with the one I use, TAB advances the selected button to the next one in line so if it is on 'YES' and you want 'NO' you can just hit TAB and then enter (or the space bar in the software I use). |
|
| |
Pah! Tab is overused, but I will give it a try. This idea would do better that any of them. |

In response to [waug], I had that, but I also use StickyKeys, which mean you have to press CTRL thrice to get the target mark around the cursor, by which time you could have just moved the cursor. |
