Move Cursor, Scroll & Return to Previous Location

Is there any way possible to move the mouse, scroll and then return to the previous location?

I need to somehow get the scrolling to happen before the cursor returns to the previous location if possible.

Hey Skillet,

In what app(s)?

In Cubase for this particular example, but I could see myself using this in several apps. Wouldn’t the answer be the same for all apps? I guessing you are thinking of an alternative like AppleScripting it or something.

Hey Skillet,

Just trying to get a clear picture of what you’re doing.

The only way I can think of to do this would be to use Find-Image-on-Screen, but you’d have to get the image in advance. (I don’t think it’s currently possible to use a file as the image, but I’ll ask Peter.)

I'm not entirely following you, but why can't you just do the sequence:

  • Save Mouse Location.
  • Move Mouse
  • Maybe Pause
  • Simulate Scroll
  • Maybe Pause
  • Move Mouse Back

You can save and restore the mouse location using the actions:

That is awesome and just what I was looking for, I can think of a dozen macros that I can modify to use this! This form makes me feel like I am reading and learning new sorcery for magic spells; I’m becoming more powerful day by day! Thanks for being the power behind it all and helping others learn the spells!

Great!

I misunderstood what you were trying to do. I didn’t realize you just wanted to restore the mouse position.

Fortunately Peter got it.
