Re: Mouse alternative

There's options in "Accessibility" to help overcome these type of things.
Like "sticky keys" which act by you holding down the key for a couple of
seconds and then let go and it stays "down" so you can do for example a
Ctrl-C (Copy). Then you press it again to release it. That' features
called "Sticky Keys" I think and its under the keyboard options - this might
also depend on the keyboard you have.

Similarly, there's accessibilty options for the mouse.

I have shoulder surgery coming up. I don't have a problem typing and
mouse-clicking with one hand, but there are times when it is necessary to
hold down a key, such as CTRL, while clicking the mouse. Is there any
keyboard alternative to this? Can a key be re-assigned to represent the
mouse button?
I have a Dell Dimension 3000 with a standard keyboard, using WinXP.
Thanks.
