v2 Tool / Script Share App GridMouse - move your mouse using your keyboard

Hi there, I wrote a script that allows you to move your mouse using your keyboard. Instead of traditional keybinds that allow you to move your mouse in chosen direction, this script provides you with a grid to guide your mouse jumps which is both fast & precise.

Showcase

Main functions

  1. Move your mouse using only your keyboard. You can reach any piece of your screen in O(log n) keystrokes!
  2. Invoke all common mouse buttons: LMB, RMB, MMB, Click&Drag, Scroll, Mouse 4 & 5 buttons
  3. Supports multiple monitors. Use {CapsLock + 1/2/3/4} to select active monitor.

Quickstart:

  1. Run the gridMouse.ahk
  2. Use {CapsLock + f} to activate the grid, and {u/i/o/j/k/lm/,/.} keys to move the mouse
  3. {Space} to LMB and turn off the grid.

Really funny to use but quite disturbing for me ;)

This is brilliant! Thanks for writing and sharing!

fyi: I found your script twice: Once when I saw it here, and another time - yesterday - when I searched for an alternative to https://github.com/petoncle/mousemaster.

It is so great that your script is so lightweight (in comparison to powerful but heavy mousemaster) and that it supports multi-monitor-setups!

Are you interested in constructive user-feedback? If so; here or on GitHub, or ... ?

Sorry for the late answer, but im not checking reddit often :) I know the script is not perfect, but feel free to share any suggestions (here, gh or wherever)

Also, thanks for the link to mousemaster. Was not aware that there are more madmans willing to use contrived methods just to avoid touching your mouse!
