DwellClick: real besknopochnaya mouse - not a myth
Makradar Technologies / / December 19, 2019
Many years ago I came across a pretty funny site about besklikovoy navigate the web-interface. There has been such a serious question, "Can you give up the game?" Now popytayuc remember the name of this resource. Well, well: stupidclick, terriblclick, stopdick, dontclick - exactly dontclick.it.
This resource has become quite well known in the Internet environment and effectively demonstrated the possibility Clicks navigation, subsequently becoming an example for many. Despite the popularity of dontclick.it, developers of various kinds of tools are not paid attention to this idea. And now, flipping through the AppStore a few days ago, I came across something like that, only within the operating system itself.
DwellClick emits the work of human fingers. Try to find out how successful the application can replace the human flesh.
The mechanism at first glance quite simple. Just point your mouse over the link in the browser as fractions of a second click fires automatically, eliminating the unnecessary movements. But, in addition to single-click the program must work with double-clicking and dragging. And here comes the fun part.
No, there are no miracles. As long as each computer will not learn to read minds (and this is already possible), The miracles will not. Such combination as a double click, drag and ctrl click carried out through a special menu for the Fn key.
Ability to work with various modifiers. enough to pinch shift ⇧, control ^, option ⌥ or command ⌘ and to restore the site. Here it is the context menu, select multiple objects or hide the icon in the dock program. All the same only without a single click.
DwellClick able to determine on which object is currently in the index. So being in the upper part of the window, the cursor will switch to drag mode. On opportunities of this kind, in my opinion, it is necessary to continue the work.
There are a few tricks to drag windows and objects. Evaluate them, you can own, downloading trial version.
Program settings are quite extensive: time of the click, pop-up size, effects of variation, replacement of mouse-keys command shortcuts. There is an advanced mode for trackpad and a list of applications that DwellClick be ignored.
Initially, such an interaction there is quite unusual, but surprisingly it very quickly get used to. The main thing to keep yourself from the usual clicks and a few hours later to press the buttons do not want at all.
What are the advantages of such an approach? I confess that I find it difficult to answer. It would be interesting to hear the opinion of the owners of MacBook-s.
