  • AutoHotkey

    AutoHotkey - macro-creation and automation-oriented scripting utility for Windows.

  • Yup, you can still do that. AutoHotkey is a wonderful tool for this. You can intercept input events globally, and transform them or send completely different events to the target app.

    For example, I use AutoHotkey to implement my JKLmouse program, which turns certain keyboard events into mouse movement for precise control. It's similar to the MouseKeys that comes with Windows, but made for laptop keyboards without numeric keypads.

    And yes, you could definitely do that Minesweeper hack in AutoHotkey! :-)

    Home Row Mouse Control for Windows

  • Sure. I didn't want to engage in self-promotion, but since you asked, here's the web page and GitHub. There is an installer, but it's kind of old. I suggest just downloading the script and running it under AutoHotkey.

    One thing to note is that I wrote this to use on my ThinkPads, which have physical mouse buttons. On a laptop where the touchpad itself is the mouse button, it may be a bit difficult to keep from nudging the mouse position when you click.

    I've been thinking about adding support for using other keys as "mouse buttons", but haven't done anything about it yet.
