Abstract

See full text

Three implementations of a novel method for improved cursor functionality are described: 'Instant Navigator', 'Grid', and 'Phantom Cursor'. In 'Instant Navigator', two menu bars are generated for fast and easy access to various applications and actions within a certain application. In 'Grid', cursor moves along a grid line, e.g. only along the vertical and the horizontal directions. In 'Phantom Cursor', objects surrounding the system cursor are selected and highlighted as if there is a second cursor. These inventions will increase the speed of computation and execution greatly. Another implementation of a novel method for generating tagged windows mouse messages is described herein. Such tagged windows mouse messages are coupled with a cursor rendering application to generate second, third, or more independent cursors or control points.
