Well, I think it would generally be either something along the lines of, for
now I only want to move horizontally or vertically, but I suppose it could
need/want to be changed sort of on-the-fly, but not too sure.
Could also be more along the lines of that if you're trying to move more
vertically than horizontally, then it might work to just cut out the minor
type of motion at all times so you'd always be moving literally either
vertically, or horizontally depending/based on what seemed to be your
primary intention as such.
Like said, not too important, but just something I was wondering about.
Stay well

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Limiting physical mouse movement to only
horizontalor vertical axes
I don't think there would be any problems. I've made similar applications
that alter the mouse's behavior in windows. The only difficult issue would
be telling the application that you wanted to switch to a different
direction. Intercepting the general key presses in windows would be tricky
if you needed it to be done by pressing or holding certain keys.
One method I've done is to have the program automatically determine what
you're trying to do. If your first moments of mouse movement were moving
vertically it would instantly lock you into vertical movement only. Then
once you stopped it would free you again just in case you wanted to pick a
new direction next time. I could also add audio cues to the movement in
case you wanted to know if you're currently in the top 10% of the screen
or something else like that.
