Mouse + x?

Greetings. I'm finally running out of combinations on my mouse. I'm not sure what to do with my other hand while I'm on the mouse. My regular keyboard is in a bad spot for use. I'm thinking of picking up a Numeric keypad, or maybe a Dvorak left-handed keyboard...

Varying Mouse Sensitivity

Greetings. I've found that you can change your mouse sensitivity using AutoHotKey. I was hoping that holding Mouse3 down would do it, but I needed to do Ctrl+Mouse3 (much less convenient). I may adopt a similar scheme for First Person Shooter games.

Ultimate Mouse-Fu

Greetings. LifeHacker has had many articles on AutoHotKey and I've created many shortcuts (rocker gestures for programs that don't support them out of the box for example). After doing this for several weeks I've conceived of the ultimate mouse-fu: when you only have to go to the keyboard to type a whole word or more.

As an example, I've rigged my mouse to:
  • Do Ctrl-(Shift)-Tab
  • Do Alt-(Shift)-Tab
  • Copy
  • Paste
  • Delete
  • Enter (for form posts mostly)
  • Undo
  • Find (Ctrl-F)
I'm getting close to mouse nirvana and recommend this heartily. Also a 5 button mouse is also a great boon to this endevor.

Keep Hackin'.
