Keyboard Maestro is indeed the best solution, thank you Bob.
FWIW I'd just managed to find a horrible hack, by enabling the "Mouse Keys"
facility, and using System Events to send numeric keypad codes to lock the
mouse down and move it - one pixel at a time
Keyboard Maestro is a rather bet
Hi Bob,
Thanks for telling us about Keyboard Maestro!
I used to use Quikeys for Mac for a long time, but
they haven’t updated it for quite some time and

Thanks again,

Hi
Are you wanting to moved object or a UI element to a new location which you
would normally do with a mouse drag? If so the application you are trying to
