DESCRIPTION
LazyMouse is a Preference Pane that moves your cursor to the default button whenever a dialog box appears on your screen. In other words, it will save you time moving the mouse to dismiss dialogs.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 2.2:
  • LazyMouse now requires Max OS X 10.5 or later to run.
  • You can now choose which feedback sound will play when LazyMouse snaps the cursor, and you can set the feedback sound’s volume.
  • The registration reminder is slightly less obtrusive, but animated.
  • rearranged the preference pane UI again and added a little ani- mation on load.
  • There was a bug that caused snap back to sometimes not occur (especially in the preference pane itself). This has been fixed.
  • Many under-the-hood changes that were made possible with Mac OS X 10.5. Many more are on the way.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.5 or later.

SGGINC  One of my must have utilities.

Once you use it you need it.

Saves a lot of needless scrolling.

MTCOBRA  In the users guide (available at the developers site) you are informed that using Terminal, you can instruct LazyMouse to disregard, or not apply to certain applications. I found that information very useful when I discovered recently that while LazyMouse was active, my iTunes songs sounded like the needle on the tone arm (remember those, anyone?) was 'hopping.' Not so subtle 'clicks and pops' interfering with the music. I disabled LazyMouse totally, and the problem cleared up. Then I re-enabled the program, but entered the command to ignore iTunes, and I'm once again, a happy camper!

LazyMouse where I want it, but NOT in iTunes. YMMV

KOBALT  MTCOBRA, you don't actually have to go into the DOS-like Terminal to exclude certain apps from being 'lazy-moused'.

This is a Mac app and it has is a handy little 'Exclude...' button right there in the control panel for all of us who want to use a Mac as a Mac. :)

KOBALT  I'd not noticed any bugs in the 2.1.2 release, but am glad they got fixed so quick - just in case. Thanks, Joe.

KOBALT  Forgot to add my stars in my previous post, so here they are for v2.1.2 and the whole app in general. Excellent update to a great little program I wouldn't be without.

SGGINC  If you are a mouse user and want to do a lot less scrolling this is for you.

Works flawlessly on 10.5.6.

Try it ... you'll love it.

Thanks ... Ken

KOBALT  I don't get me wrong, I love LazyMouse, but it looks like it's got a bit lazy of late. More often than not this v2.1 doesn't seem to actually do anything and so I've gone back to v2.0.4 which works fine and jumps to all the right places at the right moment.

SERGESOUSZERO  It's only faster if your hands are already on the keyboard, if you know what I mean.

EASER  For me, every program that contributes to reducing my carpal tunnel problems is a blessing. Lazy Mouse is one of those. Over time, all of those extra movements (such as hitting the return key) really do add up.
