I did help someone cure her "mouse (=tennis) elbow" some time ago by simply
showing her how to use the right mouse button; she was using a large size
monitor and doing a lot of map editing via regular menus, hence constant
long pointer moves.
But as the "short cut" menus are somewhat limited, we decided on which items
should be available (including some icons commands, such as
"pointer/selector" that is so much in demand after using any tool) and I
wrote a small mbx to modify the menus. I took this opportunity to even
change the display language of these menus.
The combination of both actions was a very good remedy.
MapBasic does not have to be on your machine, you can write a simple script
as a WOR and in the MapBasic window RUN APPLICATION ...WOR; you can have
several, each one adapted to specific work requirements, including a
standard one to return to the original menus.

Subject: MI HELP!
I have been mapping with MapInfo for 3+ years.
While I use a light grip on my Intellimouse, the
hours-days-weeks-months-years
have taken their toll.
I have cause some irreparable nerve damage to my right arm.
Has anyone used, or know of any, alternatives to a mouse?
I have looked at the "Smart Cat" by Cirque, but it appears to still require
some
hand-draping over the device.
If there is any help out there, I would greatly appreciate it.
