Actions Depending on the Mouse Position

[Frankb]

Can KM "see" where the mouse is? I would linke KM to perform different actions with the same shortcut, depending on the mouse position. So, if mouse here, do that. If not, do something else. Is this possible? Thanks!

PS: I'm not sure yet if this is a good idea, but I want to try

In the KM Wiki, do a search on 'mouse'. Several hits. One is -
%CurrentMouse% token returns the current mouse location

Thank you @Steve_E
But unfortunately this is beyond my capabilities How do I tell KM that I mean the entire top of the screen?

@Frankb You can use a calculation condition based on the current mouse coordinates.

Create If Then Else condition based on mouse location and cursor type?

As you know, the first is (relatively!) easy -- we used pointer positioning in the "move window to top to resize" macro. For the second -- it depends on what app you are using. The fact that it's a CSS property (unless you are just using that page to show what the cursor looks like?) implies a web browser, so you should be able to JavaScript query the current cursor property. If anything else you'll be better off looking for something else that changes when the cursor does -- maybe the availab…

Thank you very much @noisneil
As luck would have it, BTT has just introduced the "Advanced Conditions" feature in the latest version. With it you can do incredible stuff, also what I wanted to do in KM. But in BTT, I understand what I'm doing. Thanks again for your help

PS: I still use with pleasure your multipress macros There is an equivalent in BTT, but your macros are better. To stay "state of the art" you could add a feature: Multipress depending on mouse position.

You love challenges, don't you.

I'd rather maintain a purity of purpose with those templates. It's not hard to add a mouse location condition to resultant action.
