Mouse HotKeys (Updated)

An easy, very fast and well explained program that let’s you control your mouse courser actions by custom keyboard keys and custom movements speed. Showing the easiest way of hotkeys and controlling your mouse cursor movements and button actions. It has been tested and works in all Windows platforms (95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP) and the most games like Half-life (Counter-Strike).
There are many functions including:
* Moving at all directions
* Left, right and middle buttons
* Single clicking
* Double clicking
* Drag and drop
* Several keys down and up at once
All in just one single small and very fast module sub, the main sub. Whit out anything else like form, dll or ocx. Read "Assumes" in the Source Code for updated using instructions and notes.

Assumes
See the new Numpad Keys! When using the program in games, increase the AddSpeed and MaxSpeed, remove also the Doevents function.
