This is an alternative, making your keyboard your mouse for other instances [1]. Thanks for this. I really needed it. [1] https://autohotkey.com/board/topic/1

  I operate a laser cutter so do a bit of 2D CAD work. Along with my 22 button gaming mouse, AutoHotKey is a massive productivity booster. I have a script compiled to exe running on the laser control console PC to make it more user friendly too.

    22 button gaming mouse? I am impressed. Mind providing me the model #? Do you use all 22 keys?

      Raza Naga. Sorry, 21 buttons: 12 key numpad on the side - 12 left and right regular buttons - 12 + 2 = 14 middle click - 14 + 1 = 15 scroll up and scroll down - 15 + 2 = 17 scroll wheel can be pushed left and right - 17 + 2 = 19 two addition buttons below the scroll wheel - 19 + 2 = 21 Every button I've listed is programmable. I made the left mouse button do something else by mistake once. That was awkward. Also, the software it comes with allows you to program in 8 keymaps over many profiles, and it can change the profile based on what program has focus. I typically just use 2 keymaps in one profile across the few programs I have to use at work. Just having enter, delete, backspace, tab keys, whatever on the mouse is amazing, but I also have macros programmed in for various tasks in the CAD program. I use AutoHotKey for most of the automated tasks in the proprietary software for the laser cutter.
