I'm trying to streamline the number of mouse clicks and keyboard strokes I makes every day. Is there a...?

Question

Is there a program that keeps track of what I click on, the directories I open, and programs I use? I'd like to be able to log all the keyboard strokes, command, and mouse clicks for a week. Then I'd like to utilize this data to setup keyboard shortcuts and quick launch shortcuts. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Ghostmouse - free software that records mouse actions in macros. It's incredibly useful for repetitive tasks!

Answer 2

My only suggestion for minimising mouse clicks and movement is to utilise any and every button on your mouse. There is usually a way to configure those extra buttons on some mouses to do what you want, instead of the useless things they are defaulted to. I have one set to Ctrl+Tab (to switch tabs in Firefox!), and one as a shortcut to the Windows On-Screen Keyboard (to avoid turning on my wireless keyboard), and the other two for window maxi-/minimisation (really useful once you get the hang of it!). Good luck!
