I thought about maybe defining another alt key which turns the direction-pad into a mouse. Don't know if that'd be useful.

Not sure how helpful this would be though? The sample AHK script which does this is pretty hard to use. I remember many years ago the Amiga had a pseudo-mouse which had some kind of momentum term added. This made it quite usable, as it allows for fine grained control for small distances, and for longer distances wasn't too slow either.

Since this has a pretty gui, it might be nice to let the user specify which button does what. It'd also let them test which buttons are which. (Light-up a "1" when button1 is pushed. etc.)

Yes, this sounds pretty good idea. I think alot of people would use this GUI if they found it easy to setup - its saved me a great deal of arm ache so far! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I also wondering if there may be a way to adapt this so that (extremely) overlapping tables were handled (without all the random focus stealing which makes overlap such a pita). If I look into it more, then it will be possible to totally block party from doing the focus stealing by blocking/filtering its message queue, and this would allow AHK to control which window gets focus using some other system of control. The reason I like this idea over MTH idea, is simply the spacial aspect - it is much easier (for me) to remember players if you have some kind of 'spacial handle' on where they are seated in relation to the layout and I think this would probably be just the same with overlap?

I used to 8/10 table on 1 monitor using window's cascade and even then I had some kind of 'spacial handle' on players based on the cascade level (until I had to hit cascade again that was...). When using MTH, I found I only really remembered what had happened in one particular hand, and rather than a 'spacial handle' to a table, I use my seat position and my hole cards to remember the previous action of the hand for that table (meaning no carry over of info from one hand to another..).

P.S. "Oh, Roland and Juk are writing a joystick script.", I thought. "I didn't get in on that project early enough. That's ok, though; I'll sit out on this one. Maybe I'll even play some poker. Or write my [censored] thesis." Of course not.
