My buddy assured me this idea was dumb as it would effect the mouse positioning on the mousepad. I don't know how to remove my previous posting.
He pointed out that what I really might want is the ability to step thru Tru Launch Bar Menus with the keyboard.
Something like :
LEFT and RIGHT ARROWS(on keyboard) step selection box on a True launch Bar left and right through items, and navigate thru items in a menu.
UP and DOWN ARROWS(on keyboard) step from one true launch bar to another, through all true launch bars on desktop(or in that virtual desktop)
ENTER Button Opens the menu selected(or runs the button ...etc.)
Maybe enable this navigation ability with an alt-key or cntrl-key
macro on keyboard(not sure if it would need to be a plugin or small tool)
This would be similar to the way you can move the selected item
on you desktop through applications with the arrow keys only it would be for True Launch Bars
This might make navigation quicker and easier then a mouse would be(especially if you have a toolbar on the top of the screen and one on the bottom.
My reason for this ... the mouse turns my palm to jello at a point
and I end up with repetative mouse click pain(too much time spent on computer) , and when your using the keyboard extensively(typing) it's just more convenient to navigate using the keyboard.
