This script converts the mouse into the keyboard (alpha characters only). It is almost completely useless, but maybe there is some one-handed person out there who needs it.

The hotkey functions are easy to understand, but I'll explain them anyway:
Middle button + Left button activates and deactives the script. This is necessary because all normal mouse funtions aren't useable while the Mouse2Type is running.

Scroll up or Scroll down scrolls through the alphabet. As noted, Mouse2Type only sends alpha characters but it would be easy enough to add numeric and punctuation marks if needed.

Left Mouse backspaces.

Right Mouse moves the cursor right one. This needs to be pressed after each letter is chosen to go to the next space.

Middle button + Right button is the spacebar.

Apparently this doesn't work in IE. I only tested it in notepad. So I guess it is even more useless than I previously thought. Oh well. :?

i have read the help and we could also use a C++ compiler

Wow, that's a cool idea!
Plus I had to chuckle at the "terminal of some kind that didn't have a keyboard (but strangely was running windows and had mouse support)"...

With the use of a two-axis mouse wheel (which I haven't seen live yet), this might be made a little more efficient to use. I've always liked the key glove idea (though here too, I've never actually seen or even used one), and this kinda goes into the same direction.

i like the idea, perhaps not use it as a keybord but have certain words like common used user name, password, or websites,,
cheers for the idea.
