SCO0175 - Working with Large Monitors (and Small!)
For viewers of the free feed, I've included a full segment from the Extra! members only show as a taster but also to see if we can boost the sales of this particular app, for reasons that will become apparent as you watch the clip.
In this weeks full Extra! members only show I cover:
| My Mouse Recommendations
- A quick look at my Mice of choice - The
Logitech MX Revolution Mouse and the VX Nano
Mouse. I also give you a demonstration of the
benefits of the dual function scroll and
flywheel mechanism.

| SteerMouse - A fully
featured advanced driver for USB and
Bluetooth mouse. SteerMouse allows to to
fully program a wide variety of Mice and I
show you my most favourite feature - a way to
make your mouse pointer zoom across the
screen automatically and land dead center on
the default button of dialog boxes - no wrist
movement required!

| DejaMenu - A real boon
for large screen or multiple monitor setups.
You know how OSX arranges the Application
menu bar across the top of the primary
display? Well it can be a real pain
constantly moving the mouse pointer from the
left, right or bottom of the screen all the
way to the top. And when your application
window is on a separate monitor from the
application menu bar - grrrr! Well DejaMenu
is a free utility that comes to the rescue by
allowing you to assign a key combination to
pop up the application menu right under your
mouse pointer - no matter where it's located
on the screen. In the show I also show you
how easy it is to remap the DejaMenu key
combo to a single mouse button using
SteerMouse.

| MercuryMover - (This
full segment is included in this weeks
sampler version of the show and available for
free) Whilst all these tips assist you
using your mouse, true power users know that
the keyboard is the way to go to speed up
your workflow. On any Mac, constantly moving
and resizing windows using the mouse can be a
real time drain. The constant moving from
keyboard to mouse and back again can add
seconds to your workflow that over the space
of a day, a week and a year, can waste an
extraordinary amount of time.
So wouldn't it be great to be able to resize and move windows directly from the keyboard with a couple of simple keystrokes? Well you can using MercuryMover! This simple but effective application allows your to move and resize windows by 1 pixel, 10 pixels or 100 pixels at a time and will also allow you to move or resize to the edge of the screen. You can even center or maximise your selected window with a single keypress. As well as these built in shortcuts, MercuryMover also allows you to save custom keyboard shortcuts that will allow you to save the size, position or both for any window on screen. Do you always want Safari to be the same size and position when you use it? Well you can reapply a saved setting via MercuryMover and resize and repostition the window everytime with pixel point accuracy. MercuryMover is currently available at a reduced price but ScreenCastsOnline viewers can get an additional 10% off by visiting a special store page. With each copy of MercuryMover sold, $2 of the purchase price will be donated to the National Cancer Coalition Link: MercuryMover Special Offer Page |
