I'm reading a webcomic I just stumbled over.
I'm using the arrow keys on my keyboard - you say you keep yours there also? - to scroll down through the panels, and when I reach the bottom the mouse cursor is lined up right where I left it on the previous page - over the [Next] click-spot thingy at
the bottom of the page.
But I have to keep reaching over and clicking the mouse.
Can I please get a key to do this with?

If you're using Windows, there's a facility in Accessibility Options called "MouseKeys"... guess what it does ? ;D |
|
| |
[edit] You'll have to root around the 'net to find out exactly which key maps to what mouse event: oddly Micro$oft doesn't think it's important to say. |
|
| |
[FlyingToaster], I have been using my on-screen keyboard so I can type with the mouse, which I get to through Programs/ ... /Accessibility. (Some days I am too butt-lazy to reach for the keyboard (from the depths of my comfy *reclining chair*)). |
|
| |
MouseKeys is new to me, and it took me a while to realize it was in Control Panel / Accessibility Options. It looks handy, and it is strange that they don't tell you what keys do what. |
|
| |
Thank you for letting me know about it. |
|
| |
It just seemed like one of those obvious things that should be around: first "draft" of my anno was "should be something free downloadable, look for 'keyboard mouse mapper' or something"... then I saw directions to M$ built in thing... |
|
| |
If you're feeling even butt-lazier, try out a trackball. |
|
| |
[coyote]s link is to modern Model M keyboards (they purchased rights offa IBM awhile ago); pretty good from what I understand. |
|
| |
// try out a trackball // |
|
| |
Yeah, I want one of those again, but the other users of this computer would get all mad and ... stop ... using .... Excuse me, gotta get to the store. |
|
| |
Thank you all. I'll have to research. |
|
| |
Does nobody, without Googling, recognize the "half a key" reference? |
|
| |
Actually it's Firesign Theatre, but you get credit for trying. |
|
| |
Okay, [rcarty], I linked the best ones. Damn, I've probably revealed more about my self now than in my entire 'bakery tenure. |
|
| |
[nornzone], thanks for the webcomics. I have been working up through Order of the Stick archives for the past week, enjoying Drive since it started, and an XKCD reader since I don't know when. I have high hopes for the new ones. |
|
| |
(Firesign Theatre? That's been a long time. (When I first learned I was going to Sumatra, the first thing I thought was "giant rat". (And then, "That's been a long time."))) |
|
| |
Are you left handed? I spent a considerable amount of time
programming shortcuts so as to be able to execute them with
my non-mouse hand.
Please don't introduce some new complexity. I'm getting too old
to keep up, I fear. |
|
| |
I'm a righty, but I mouse either - handed to reduce the wear and tear ergonomically, and I used to work with a guy who programmed his mouse lefty, so I swing both ways. |
|
| |
[Toby] have a play with GlovePIE. It's a 'programmable-input-emulator' originally meant for using a power glove to control the mouse, but has a huge amount of functionality for all kinds of things - what you're after would be easily doable once you get to grips with it. |
|
| |
[normz] you might want to look at AutoPager. It notices when there's a "next" button on a page and dynamically loads it onto the current page, I find it very useful (I use the greasemonkey version). |
|
| |
I have a laptop, which obviously has a button on it
for mouse clickery. I also have a 'media' PC that has a
wireless keyboard, which has a trackpad and mouse
buttons. Had I neither of these, I may want what you
are proposing. |
