screen-spots

Save a set of screen locations to later click on or move to using talon voice.

Defines shortcuts for saving the current mouse coordinates to a specific word/phrase. You can then use another shortcut with the same phrase to either move the mouse cursor to the saved position, or click on the saved position and immediately return the cursor to its current position.

The intended use case is to save the position of buttons or other frequently used locations so that you can click on them or return to them more quickly and with less effort.

Your spots are automatically saved to a file so you maintain your set across restarts.

Talon Settings

You can use the following settings to customize how this tool functions. You can refer to the unofficial talon wiki for how talon settings work.

• screen_spots_heatmap_color the color of the drawn dots in the spot heatmap, default="ff0F9D58"
• screen_spots_heatmap_size the size of the drawn dots in the spot heatmap, default=5
• screen_spots_slow_move_enabled slows the mouse's movement speed during spot commands when enabled (some games don't detect the instant mouse movement correctly). Set to 0 (the default) to disable, any other number to enable
• screen_spots_slow_move_distance the maximum distance to move in either direction per tick during slow movement, default=200

Working Items

? move some of the commands into a menu only ?

• fewer commands to conflict with spot [move]

sometimes coordinates would be better if relative to the current window, could toggle with a command

• reference talon_ui_helper

? application specific spot sets?

command to reload from backup
