Many Tricks
If you’ve got a multi-display Mac, then you know what a drag it can be to drag things. When you have a window at the lower right corner of your right display, and you need it at the upper left corner of your left display, that’s a lot of pixels to traverse. One excellent solution to this problem is Moom, our window management tool. Amongst its other capabilities, Moom lets you easily jump a window across displays via keyboard or mouse.
But what if it’s not a window, but text, that you need to drag—say from a word processing window to an email window? Moom won’t be much help there. Or you need to drag a file, to drop it on another application or into a Finder folder?
Again, Moom can’t help you with that task. But our app Keymo certainly can!
Keymo is an app that lets you control the mouse pointer with the keyboard, and it bears some resemblance to Moom. While some of its users have physical handicaps that make using the mouse difficult, Keymo has some talents that appeal to everyone.
One of those skills is its ability to instantly jump the mouse pointer between displays…and if you can send the pointer between displays, well, anything you happen to be dragging will come right along with it when it goes. So read on to see how you can use Keymo to greatly ease the drag of dragging.
