Interesting. I just tried this in a few ap's. I can't even read the menu
items in IE after routing the mouse to an open window. But if I set the
mouse boundary to focused window I can then move around and read them. But
regardless, in IE, OE, and Wordpad, the mouse always landed about 15 pixels
to the left of the menu item. the only place I could get it to work with
active window being the mouse boundary was in Notepad and Word. Although it
was still off and I had to use next clip to read it.

Hi Chip:
no it doesn't.
For example, if you are in IE and you go to the File menu, press the
down arrow, which will highlight "new tab", then press insert-numpad
minus, and then press numpad 5 to read the line containineg the mouse,
you here nothing.

Kevin,
does the mouse, after you move it to the highlight, read the highlight
when
you make it read the line?
If so, then it may be an issue like the position of the highlight is one
of
it's corners, and the mouse is centered on it? or some such slight
difference?

hi Chip:
OK try the following:
1. go to the menubar of whatever application you are in.
2. Arrow down to Save or Save As, just for the sake of argument.
3. Press insert-numpad + which will say "route pointer to menu".
4. Compare the position of the pointer and the position of the highlight
and
note that the position of the highlight and the position of the mouse are
not equal..

Kevin,
It looks to me like you should be able to:
executeHotkey hkMouseToFocus
and do it that way.

Hi:
I want to know if there is a way to move the mouse pointer to a
highlighted item in a menu, similar to the Mouse To Focus hotkey, but
this would move the mouseto a highlighted item in a menu.
