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.

KOBALT Happy to report all's good again in LazyMouse world. I am already feeling myself getting lazier by he minute now that the curser jumps to the right spot once again. :)

PENGUIRL For the life of me, I can't understand paying $10 to do what the Return key does for free, and faster.

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.

POIKKEUS LazyMouse is a reincarnation of the great (and free) CursorZoom, which was discontinued after Tiger took over a major feature. It's the kind of feature that should be in the Mac OS to start off with: when use the command box, the mouse quickly appears so you don't have to look for it. Ideally, we should be using key shortcuts for this kind of thing, but having the cursor handy is surprisingly useful. Alas, CursorZoom was impressive in that the cursor "zoomed" all the way across the screen to the command box; LazyMouse is somewhat less dramatic or eye-catching. Perhaps some future version will remedy this. That said, the price is low, and for some, the convenience is well worth it.

ZO219 There's something funny about the way this jerks the background processes around. Paid for it, way back, and it works ... but I tend not to use it. I'm no deveoper (can you tell?) but it doesn't play nice.

How do you mean "jerks the background processes around"?
(Version 2.0.2) | |

EASER I have to agree with the developer. I've used LazyMouse for years and never had any bizarre behavior, much less seing background processes act weird. This program has always been solid.

ZO219 Sorry, that wasn't very clear or helpful. I don't know why a given process rises and falls constantly, in CPU usage ... but this one does, and it seems to slow things down. Hard to explain with no tech talk.

OLD JEWEL SOFTWARE Generally speaking, LazyMouse has to update its information whenever you switch apps or whenever a new window appears so that it can know if it needs to snap the cursor. Version 2.0.2 was a bit more zealous about constantly polling the state of the current application. That's one of the changes in version 2.0.3. When it's doing work, its CPU usage will rise, but when it's not working (when there are no user interface events that it has to worry about), it should use very little CPU.
