If you really want to do that, I suggest a Trackpoint keyboard instead. The difficult a foresee with key(board) control of the pointer -- based on experience with keyboard resize -- is control of the acceleration. You need some kind of acceleration for fast yet precise movement of the pointer, but with an on/off control device you have to do it based on hacks based on the time pressed, which is hacky and does not work so well. Trackpoint, on the other hand, does it by the pressure you apply. By applying little pressure, you can move the pointer very precisely; by a large amount of pressure, you're on the other side of the screen in no time. (Assuming you have sane almost maxed-out settings; the defaults tend to be crappy, and maybe one of the reason many people give up on the Trackpoint, and become ice-skaters.) > well, it's a bit like buying a car navigation system and then only using it > street by street ... maybe you should have a look at the commands ion > provides. Isn't that what navigation systems are all about? If you actually bothered looking at the map for a moment, you wouldn't need some device to tell you where to go (wrong). -- Tuomo
