Emulate mouse clicks with keyboard

(1/1)

sagdot:
Right now I'm using the MouseKeys accessibility option within Windows 2000. I'm looking for a program that is more configurable. I would like to use my right hand to move the mouse but the left hand to click by pressing buttons on the main part of the keyboard, not the number 5 on the numeric keypad way over on the right-hand side. Also, unlike MouseKeys, I'd like separate keys for left vs. right-click and not have to toggle the setting for one button. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

4wd:
You could use MouseKeys in conjunction with remapping the keys it uses for left/right click to other keys, eg. Cntrl-A, ~, etc.

Try SharpKeys, (http://www.randyrants.com/2006/07/sharpkeys_211.html), or KeyTweak, (http://webpages.charter.net/krumsick/).

Of course, this will completely screw up the default numpad mappings.

cranioscopical:
It looks as if a little bit of AutoHotkey scripting ought to do what you want. 
(Look up 'Click' and 'MouseClick' in the help file.)
