Title: anyone know what it's like to browse the internet without a mouse?
Post by: allstarsniper32 on November 17, 2008, 06:30:34 am
My cat chewed on my mouse wire and it doesn't work anymore, so when I go on the internet I get to use only my keyboard. Anyone ever have that happen? anyone ever just try it? Remember, the TAB key is your friend.

I'm going to take a bunch of canadian coins to the bank and get some cash from them then go to Value Village to see if I can find a used mouse. I'm just glad that canadian money is worth more than american money is. I have 5.25 in canadian coins, I know I should get a little more than that though, then YAY for not having to use only a keyboad! assuming I can get a mouse for under 6 bucks.

MouseKeys is your friend. Is found in the accessibility section of your computer.

Heh. Once my mouse stopped working, and I had to restart the computer to make it work again, but I wqas too lazy so I just spent all day abusing my tab key xD

I found a few cool shortcuts though.... But I forgot them ouo; Unfortunately I couldn't (and still can't D8) find that MouseKeys thing o~o

Yes. But the "dictate to your computer with a microphone" does a pretty good job of managing :D

(I did it for fun :D)

Was that aimed at me? Cause I meant the pad on a laptop used for the mouse.
