Ath, have faith. There is some reason why I could not give more than 10 keystrokes.
Don't worry, but I was already afraid, when you didn't go past 9, it was something special...

1. Is the 'park relative to window' option working correctly ?
3. Is this option keeps the mouse cursor in the secondary monitor where it was originally, instead of moving to the primary monitor ?
Yup, it solves my dual-monitor request for now.

2. Is this option works perfectly with x-mouse behavior enabled ?
Don't use that, so can't comment on it.

Oh, and Skype hides the cursor when you are typing, so I'll add that to the ignore list when we have that ;)
The cursor is moved to the designated position, though, as expected :up:

yksyks, please give some feedback on PCA 2.0.1 useful in using with X-mouse behavior or not ?
Mouser, please ?

Now I myself am finding the park relative to window, better than relative to screen. You see, now the mouse cursor does not block my view of the document or field, but still is near by, specially on large monitor. Planning to make this as default for next version. But some more feedback on it will be appreciated.

More and more to my own surprise I'm beginning to love this tool. I've even enabled it at startup on my work-computer 8)
After some weeks of use I'm still not fed up with it, as I expected at first :-\

I'd totally agree with this change, all I need now is the higher count of keystrokes and the black-list/white-list features. Don't rush, I understand you're busy with other stuff, but it would be really nice to have...

I am trying this out now!

It looks cute!
Go Anand! : )

Fun tip: Set the settings to push the mouse closest to the button you need to press like "Save" or "Post".
Use attachthumb=# to show an attached image as an expandable thumbnail, or attach=# to show full size. (With Brackets)
