"Mouser": a new concept of a keyboard mouse.

[jgpaiva]

No, i'm not talking about our beloved admin, mouser.

I'm talking about an ahk script made by Adam Pash , an editor of lifehacker.
It's about making a different way of controling the mouse through keyboard. It's quite smart for getting the mouse in places far away from the current, but i think it's a bit ennefective to move tho a place very near by.
Still, it's definitelly worth a look if now only for it's clever interface and for the good fun it provides. Here's the link:

I watched the video and wasn't impressed . . . but downloaded it anyway as I don't like mice and I'm quickly falling in love with it.  I could stand for an option to go into direct mouse control mode (control the cursor directly with the arrow keys) for more tedius actions, but generally speaking this thing has a lot of potential to elminate mouse usage.  I'm liking it!

Also, Jgpaiva's GridMove is an excellent program for arranging windows without the mouse, but to tell you the truth, I wanted something just a tiny bit simpler. Here's an .ahk script I came up with:

[Select]

ScrH = %A_ScreenHeight%
ScrW = %A_ScreenWidth%
ScrHm := ScrH/2
ScrWm := ScrW/2

^#NumPad1::
Gosub, window
WinMove,A,,0,ScrH-WinH
Return
^#NumPad2::
Gosub, window
WinMove,A,,ScrWm-WinWm,ScrH-WinH
Return
^#NumPad3::
Gosub, window
WinMove,A,,Scrw-WinW-40,ScrH-WinH
Return
^#NumPad4::
Gosub, window
WinMove,A,,0,ScrHm-WinHm
Return
^#NumPad5::
Gosub, window
WinMove,A,,ScrWm-WinWm,ScrHm-WinHm
Return
^#NumPad6::
Gosub, window
WinMove,A,,ScrW-WinW,ScrHm-WinHm
Return
^#NumPad7::
Gosub, window
WinMove,A,,0,0
Return
^#NumPad8::
Gosub, window
WinMove,A,,ScrWm-WinWm,0
Return
^#NumPad9::
Gosub, window
WinMove,A,,ScrW-WinW,0
Return
^#q::
ExitApp

window:
WinGetPos,,,WinW,WinH,A
WinWm := WinW/2
WinHm := WinH/2
Return

To use: Press Ctrl+Win+ a key representing a compass point on your number pad and it will throw the active window to that edge of the screen. Ctrl+Win+5 will center it and Ctrl+Win+Q will exit the script.
