MouseTool

MouseTool is a nifty, little utility that allows you to automate various straightforward, mouse-related actions. Its modus operandi is quite easy to comprehend: each time your mouse doesn't move, it automatically clicks for you.

Before we dive deeper, please note that the application is no longer supported and that we're hosting two components. The first component is the installer, needless to say what it does, while the second is a newer version for the app's executable file.

What we mean by this is that once MouseTool is installed on your computer's system, you should overwrite the original MouseTool.exe file with the one we're providing (version 3.16 corrects an important bug from version 3.13).

With that out of the way, we can continue with the app's functionality which, we have to say, is a lot more complex than you might be lead to believe at first. The app's compact GUI houses a series of simple controls such as minimize, Start (the button with the red dot), and Options.

To get started, click the Start button and start testing the app's functionality on basic folders on your desktop. You'll also notice that once you've clicked the start button, three new buttons are present within the GUI. In short, from left to right, they represent the following actions: click, double click, and right click.

Head over to the Options section, and you'll see that here things get a lot more interesting, as you're able to configure the dwell time, dwell zone, as well as enable the Smart Drag feature and its Visual Dragging Indicator.

There's also a Hotkey section that, as expected, allows you to customize the mouse button hotkeys, as well as the hotkeys for changing the three aforementioned codes. From the last tab, Context Monitoring, you can enable or disable the feature, as well as select various predefined actions.

Even though it might not be the most intuitive tool around (for novices at least), MouseTool does its job right. It's easy to install, fairly easy to work with once you get the hang of things, and, best of all, it uses requires next to nothing when it comes to system resources.
