Cursor Kebabs

 collect fragments of text and images and grill them

Convert your cursor into a Kebab skewer with this little piece of software. Once activated the conventional cursor becomes an elongated skewer that can be used to stab, then collect anything that appears on your computer screen.

Hold down the shift key and the skewer converts to an ornate knife to cut around items, and separate them from their main bodies or backgrounds. (similar to Photoshop lassoo) Release the shift key, and skewer them!

In a short space of time the shaft of the skewer will accumulate a variety of material that you can either file away on a little trophy rack, or you might turn on the "griddle option" and fry the whole lot into burnt and blackened lumps.

       This new "kebab shop" metaphor for human-computer interaction makes the traditional "desktop" metaphor look so 1980's.

       Part refined screenshot, part culinary apparatus. I've been looking for one of those.

       This would be fun. If unselected by ornate shears, the program could just select the thinger that was objectish near the cursor. Skewer, shears, griddle, mallet, bicycle pump, TNT, lightning bolt (to animate). Chasing down the animated ones with the mallet would be a fun game in itself.

       You could use it as a 'multi-source' copy-n-paste; ie. I want to copy this bit of text, this image, and that bit of text, and paste them all at once into a new document (copy, copy, copy, paste; rather than copy, paste, copy, paste, copy, paste).
