Found one for just mouse distance here:

Although, it seems less important to track after I noticed that I got my mouse turned up so high that 1" of travel brings me across 2 19" screens.   ;D

Thanks for pointing it out, that what I was thinking of.

Seems strange that this would be an application that requires updating to a server.  Makes me a little cautious about anything that is tracking my every key stroke and sending reports out.  I understand that isn't what the program does, but still a little scary for the security minded people.

Thanks!

How about a little routine that would tell you how far your mouse has travelled?  I've always wondered just how far that little pointer moves in a day.  Also, including the number of keystrokes would be interesting, but not as much as the mouse distance.

It would be nice to be able to enter a monitor size and resolution to get a true distance travelled, but otherwise, just report in pixels.

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: On screen right keyboard mouse select
« on: September 28, 2006, 09:09 AM »

IDEA: Create a quick access on-screen keyboard for right hand keys (of left hand keys for lefties).

I use my left hand on the keyboard, and my right hand on the mouse.  Any time I need to come off the mouse for the keyboard, often for just a single letter, it slows me down.  I've seen full on screen keyboards, but that's overkill for what I'm thinking about.

The application would pop-up at a hotkey.  Caps lock turn on/off would also be a good alternative.   With the hotkey, it would also be easy to  set up a mouse gesture if you something like Strokeit.

Immediately I would have thought of having a layout that looks like a std keyboard.  But second thought is that it would be less intrusive to just have a slim column list window.  First column letters, second column numbers, third column F-keys, fourth column cursor movement keys.
Then you can just click the appropriate character and have it feed to the last window/active entry field that you were in. 

I would probably still pull my hand to the keyboard to do anything more than a few letters, but often all that's needed is a single letter.

I'm having trouble deciding if this is a great idea or not, but it would be useful at times.  Thoughts?

Best,
Rob

Drag&Drop Robot / Re: any drag&drop users?
« on: August 08, 2006, 07:47 AM »
Hey Mouser,

Just wanted to let you know that I'm a very happy user of Drag and Drop!

Something I would like to see is a text log save option.  So you could turn on brief for the display, but have detailed log file that can be reviewed if needed.  Right now I run in some options in detailed mode and then copy/paste so I have it to review if needed.

Somebody mentioned similar above, but I would be interested in having an option where you can have an individual shortcut to open drag and drop with a certain profile selected.   The main reason for asking is that I find myself trying to drop folders onto something that is expecting files and vice versa because I forgot to switch the config selection before dragging.  It's a pretty minor thing, but it's an idea.

Alternative would be to make it so that if you drag files onto the name in the list of commands box it would switch to that routine and add the files/folders to the list.  (Just to make sure this option isn't already there, I dragged into the config area field -- it cleared out the config file list!  Scared me for a second - but they were back on reload).

Again, thanks for this program.  It's great for simplifying the front end when you write the occasional little script - especially one that only gets occasional use. 

Best,
Rob
