Mousing over second monitor for immediate focus.

Ah, I'll try that. Doesn't Keyclone have something called "auto focus over" option that does something like this? I;m not sure, is that instantaneous?
Hmm, I can't seem to find "mouse works in the vista CP .

Freddie already answered it, but this is the site where I had learned to find it. As he said, it's in the ease of access center.

I just tested this under Vista and discovered that in Vista, Microsoft sets the default delay for this feature to a high value. That's why Tonuss is seeing a delay. With XP the delay is set to zero (at least that has been true on every XP system I've tested) so it's faster.

The delay can be changed in Vista (and presumably set to zero) by editing the registry or with a third-party program.

There may also be a way to set the delay with Control Panel but I don't see it there.

Ooh! I did not know that. I'll look for that setting and see about lowering it. Thanks!

I didn't know it either and I'm kinda amazed that they did this without also putting in a setting for the delay. I can see why they changed the default to a long delay -- it's probably better for most customers -- but it screws up the feature for a big chunk of people -- including everyone here. Well, this is why third-party programs exist.

Hey, AWESOME STUFF! So there was a program, and a built-in setting via vista to auto-focus. however, I'd reallly like it to have no delay or close to none as possible. I wish there would be a setting or a registry thingy to set it like that. Otherwise, I can use HOTKEYNET to make it with zero delay, right? You just saved me a bunch of money and am going to UPGRAADE my E5200 haha, Quadcore time babyy! I already have Keyclone btw

One of the things I loved in Linux was the focus-follows-mouse setup. A while ago, I did some Googling and found the registry entries for it:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\ActiveWndTrkTimeout, DWORD, 400 (decimal)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\UserPreferencesMask, BINARY, D9 3E 07 80 12 00 00 00

That's what I have in mine at least. The timeout is in milliseconds, so 400 is just under half a second. UserPreferencesMask should already be there, just edit the first number to be D9. Reboot and enjoy.

yes, keyclone has 'focus-follows-mouse' under keyclone/setup/general

Sooo... how is multiboxing going in World of Wart?

I may try this instead, is the focus switch instant?

[keyclone]

wondered if anyone would see that

and yes, the focus switch is instant. just mouse over and click-loot or click-drag to change camera angle. (the first click to activate is not required)

Yeah, just tested it. That's perfect, it let's me turn the feature off in Windows, which can be annoying at times. I also just noticed the startup command option to auto-load the windows. Amazing what happens when you pay a bit of attention.

Anyway, thanks for that. As if Keyclone wasn't already a terrific program! :thumbup:
