If anyone is still doing the old style actually clicking and selecting things on their computer, I'm here to rescue you. You need a mouse gestures program. The one I've been using for years is StrokeIt. www.tcbmi.com/strokeit/I have gestures programed for opening, closing, min/max, save, find, replace, copy/paste, move to folder, open folder, internet browser functions, etc. I do pretty much everything with small mouse motions. It is infinitely faster than actually moving to window buttons and clicking them or navigating menus. The StrokeIt program has a counter numbering how many times you've used gestures and my reads 283,340! There's a little bit of a learning curve, but if you spend many hours in front of a computer its well worth learning. When I'm modding, I'm frequently bouncing in and out of the game, so gestures to open the correct folders, save my work, move it to MAINTA and start a test map really save me time.

I once had a laptop with a glidepoint touchpad. That PC came with a similar program. While I liked the idea of it, I found that it saved me no real time versus completing the same tasks the normal way. It is a very creative alternative though for someone who spends hours on a computer though. I just don't spend enough time on a PC to warrant the time it would take for me to assigns strokes to the various tasks and memorize them all.
