One of the most important areas of our lives that went through major overhauls thanks to the rapid advancement of technology lies with accessibility. An example is set by Cursor Rails, a lightweight program capable of assisting users with mobility issues or tremors to make precise mouse movements for scrolling horizontally or vertically in any application of their choice.

Starting up, the application summons a straightforward interface with a minimalist layout and visually appealing dark mode allowing users to pick custom hotkey combinations for activating either one of the two movement modes, which can come in handy to avoid clashing with other programs’ shortcuts.

For those with keyboards featuring extra uncommon buttons that are left unused in users’ workflows, the app lets you select from a wide range of virtual keys displayed in a comprehensive list. This functionality can also be of use for complex shortcut customizations powered by AutoHotKey, such as assigning the functions to a virtual key and emulating it using a combination of more common buttons, such as Control, Shift and a number key.

Moreover, given its portable format, the program can be added to on-the-go USB flash drive-powered setups for those who tend to switch between their work and personal devices without having to worry about synchronizing specific application settings over the cloud. Finally, given its open-source license, those with programming experience can make suggestions or fork the code repository to create custom versions featuring changes that fit their preferences.

If you want to design a retro-styled first-person shooter video game with Wolfenstein 3D’s and Doom’s horizontal axis control scheme, and you wish to test and emulate the user experience on more modern game engines, Cursor Rails may be the right tool for you, as long as the lack of support for multiple monitors does not pose an issue for your particular workflow.
