Chapter 12: Hotmouse

12. Hotmouse

Hotmouse is an exclusive function offered by ServSwitch 4site Flex. It works with your standard mouse or trackball and touchscreens. Similar to using hotkeys on your keyboard, Hotmouse is a quick and comfortable way to operate ServSwitch 4site Flex simply with your standard mouse, trackball, or touchscreen. No software or additional hardware is required.

When activated, your mouse cursor becomes hotmouse cursor—a numbered arrow—that enables it to perform all hotmouse functions.

12.1 Activating the Hotmouse Cursor

To activate the hotmouse cursor, move your mouse on the console four times in a rapid horizontal shaking motion or with hotkey + M.

The hotmouse cursor can also be activated via touchscreen: Tap the screen twice and leave your finger pressed on the touchscreen after the second tap (tap – hold, like a double click without lifting the finger on the second click), until the hotmouse menu opens. Now click outside the hotmouse menu to open the hotmouse cursor.

Close the hotmouse by double clicking or with hotkey + M.

The hotmouse cursor changes its look depending on its position on the screen (arrows in vertical or horizontal direction, and number of channel).
