Adam Pash over at Lifehacker has created a nice script that is supposed to render the mouse obsolete; his posting explains it pretty well (he even included a screencast), so go over there now and read it.

Funny thing, this mouser :D

Completely unpractical, but still, funny.

Opera solved this problem by adding left & right to the tab navigation, not just up/down, plus it made it start from the visible screen, not from the "first control, with the highest tab index". This method can be extended with AHK for entire windows (yeah, that is nice idea indeed). I must force myself not to do it.

This little app got my attention in such a way, that I had to learn AutoHotkey to create an enhanced version. Couldn't help it.

More info and script source here. Screencast not included, would not know how to create it.

P.S.: AutoHotkey is a briliant tool! No more "bats in the shell" anymore ;)

Very nice Vorkrornor.

You should create separate thread with this.
I also wish U add options for different numbering schema (telephone like) and customizable hotkey - how did you get ctrl numpad* at the first place, its hell away from practical.

You should also remove transparency as it doesn't make any sense in your script[/b][/quote]

I have two remarks:

- You should use hotkeys instead of an endless loop with input
- instead of 8 guis I would recommend to use 3 Splashimages (see this example

Great work, thanks for sharing.

I support majkinetor requests too.

It isn't very obious how to select (click) with your script. I had to look at the code to see that it is "0" (zero). A dialog to set the hotkeys (or show the current) would help to get started.

Yeah, the code can be better. Don't know why the Input command is used, as it makes changes to the code harder.

but that is Vorkronor's first script so lets hope he will continue to imporove it in all senses.


EDIT: Sorry , i didn't see there is customizalbe hotkey :oops:

NOTE: You can also make selection via arrows, it can make it more practical. For diagonal movement we can press 2 arrows at the same time. 0 can stay for click as it is close.

There should be an UnDo hotkey also that will return you to the previous position, if you made mistakes. For instance Num - is good choice

Great idea, Vorkronor! It's very usable and quite efficient.

One possible improvement: there should be an easy way to undo the last selection if I chose the wrong rectangle by accident, so that I don't have to start the selection from the beginning again.

@majkinetor: CTRL + * is so you don't have to move the left hand away from where it is. The idea was to press CTRL with your left hand and the * with your right hand, which positions it exactly over the numpad :) At least on the normal keyboard with a numeric section.

Pressing two keys simultaneously to select diagonal sectors would make it much less usable because it would make the selection of the normal sectors more awkward ... as soon as it is customizable you can re-map it to anything you'd like (QWE, ASD, ZXC maybe?).

@toralf: Will see what the hotkeys can do. The SplashImages look to be a much better solution. Thanks for pointing me to the right direction. Creating the windows is quite slow and it breaks the usability a little.

Created a new thread for the announcement as suggested. More info and new releases will be announced there.

Thanks for your suggestions :D

This is a little bit like SansMouse, but perhaps more intuitive.
