Ability to do mouse dragging without "mouse position."

[CB]

Hi all,

Just wanted to know if there is a way for me to do mouse drag commands "start drag" and "finish drag" without having to say "mouse position" first? I often find myself using show or "mouse go right 500" more than mouse position for dragging and so if this is possible it would save me a few seconds each time.

Thanks!

Hello,

We are open to suggestions for improving these commands. Is there a particular command sequence that you think would work well for you?

In case you haven't discovered them all yet, these are the ways that you can currently drag:

• show start drag, choose a number, show finish drag, choose a number (works well for drag and drop of files)
• mouse position, choose a sequence of numbers, start drag, mouse position, choose a sequence of numbers, finish drag (works well for selecting non-editable text)
• mouse grid, choose a sequence of numbers, start drag, mouse grid, choose a sequence of numbers, finish drag (works well when you don't need much precision)
• combinations of the above, for example: show start drag, choose a number, mouse position, choose a sequence of numbers, finish drag
• hold mouse, mouse go <direction number>, release mouse (works well when the mouse is already where you want to start)

Also, if you use a command like "mouse position" often, you can change the command name to something shorter.

The hold mouse command sounds like what I've been looking for, I will definitely check that out! Can you point me to the best place for looking to shortening "mouse position" as a statement

To change "mouse position" to a different voice command, open the config/modes/basic.yaml file. In that file you will find the command:

  - name: "mouse position"
    description: >-
      Activates the "mouse pixels" exclusive mode to control the mouse.
    biasFactor: 1.2
    alternates:
      - "mel's position"
    functions:
      - name: "toggleMode"
        fixedArguments:
          - "on"
          - "mouse pixels"
      - name: "openMouseGuide"
        fixedArguments:
          - "pixels"

Just change "mouse position" to any voice command that you like. For something that you say very often, it is good to go with one or two syllable words that are easily recognized and that you rarely say. For example, "shoe" is short, easy to say, and you probably don't say it very often. If you do need to say it, you can just say "escape shoe".

You should also update the alternates field. These are phrases that will also match the command. Updating this to "shoo" would work well.

You can find all of the information about customizing commands here.
