Chopter 3: Using Turbo Mouse Softwore

Brilliant Cursor - The Brilliant Cursor command allows the cursor to jump to predefined points on screen. These points are known as HotSpots. (How to define vour own HotSpots is described later in Chapter 4: More Turbo Mouse Software Options.)

The Brilliaut Cursor command is very useful for quickly getting to frequently used areas on the desktop, such as the File and Edit menus and the Trash icon. It is also useful for navigating large monitors.

\\hen 1'ouclick the Brilliant Cursor button and move the ball, the cllrsor rvill jurnp to the predefined HotSpot closest in direction and distance to vour ball movement. The Factory Standard Set of the Turbo \Iouse Control program contains predefined HotSpots. These are positioned on the Apple ( a ), File, and Edit menLrs, and the Lrpper right corner and Trash icons.

As you move the ball ir-rdifl'erentdirections tvhen using the Brilliant cursor command, the cursor snaps to the different HotSpots. In addi- tion, t\,vo temporary HotSpots are defined. These are the last nvo positions the cursor was in when you invoked the Brilliant Cursor com- mand. They are temporarily defined so you can rerurn to your original screen position more easily.

Click either button of your Turbo Mouse trackball to return to normal cursor movement.

To learn more about using Brilliant Cursor and defining your o\{ll HotSpots, refer to Chapter 4: More Turbo Mouse Software Options.

Axis-Only - The Axis-Only command locks your cursor movement to either an x- (horizontal) or y- (vertical) axis on screen. Click the Axis- Only button and the cursor will only move on the axis of your next ball movement, until a second Turbo Mouse button is pressed.

For example, if you click the button and move the ball right or left, the cursor r,vill only move horizontally until another Turbo Mouse button is pressed. Likervise, if the Axis-Only button is clicked and the ball is moved up or down, the cursor will only move vertically until another button is clicked. Only the device that entered Axis-Only is affected. Other devices will move normallv.
