Here are 7 simple ways to squeeze more productivity from your mouse:
1. Move a Mouse With Extreme Precision
A built-in Windows feature called MouseKeys allows you to move your mouse with your keyboard so it becomes much more precise than even the most careful flick of the mouse.
1. Open the Control Panel, and click ‘Accessibility Options’.
2. On the mouse tab, and check the ‘Use MouseKeys’ box to turn the feature on.
2.
Copy and Paste Faster
More than just a funky name for a free app, True X-Mouse Gizmo gives you the option of auto-copying anything you
highlight, and pasting it simply by clicking the middle mouse button.
3. Add Extra
Functionality to Your Right Click
ClickZap allows you to run a predefined action when you double right-click at your mouse. Set up anything from locking your
computer, to muting volume, or even minimizing windows when you double right-click. Free of course.
4. Lock Your Mouse So You Can Clean It Properly
ToddlerTrap locks the mouse automatically once the
program is started, and it is disabled when the
program is closed and the good thing about it is that it requires no
installation.
5. Control the Mouse More Intuitively
Mouse Gestures refers to a process where quick flicks of a mouse perform
basic functions in a
program.
6. Quickly Select Lines of Text and Paragraphs
Triple click on a paragraph or line of text and Windows will instantly select it. This shaves off seconds right away, and really frees up a significant amount of time in the long run.
7.
Scroll Without Using the
Scroll Wheel
Clicking the scroll wheel on your mouse will give you a new
interface to control your mouse. Just middle click your
cursor on a web page, or
document and the mouse
cursor should change to look like the below picture.
