This one’s pretty niche: A small Windows utility that emulates the left and right mousebuttons using the keyboard. Specifically, using the right Windows key and the right Alt key.

Why? Because I use a MacBook Pro running exclusively in PC-mode, and I can’t stand how the mouseclick is implemented with its button-less trackpad. So yeah, pretty niche…

Sorry, no UI to change the hotkey assignments. If you’re comfortable with C#.NET, the source code is included in the zip file. It may be useful to examine if you’re interested in learning (1) how to capture keystrokes globally in Windows or (2) how to generate mouse operations programmatically, using some dreadful-looking Windows API interop code that I tried to learn as little as possible about in order to get to work.

Kind-of just for the hell of it as much as for any potential use value, I’ve converted all my notes related to programming, Flash, etc. – which used to live in various text files as various versions on various computers – into a wiki format. And have made it publicly viewable. Because, I figure, why not?

Much thanks to Adam Smith for the idea. Have fun in L.A.

Just wanted to let anyone in or around the Bay Area know that there’s going to be a Papervision3D training with John Grden on the weekend of February 3-4 in San Francisco. It’s being held at EVB, which is where I work.

Here’s the link: http://pv3d.eventbrite.com/

If you’re going, look me up, as I’ll be there…
