Use a program called Caffeine. It presses F15 every 59 seconds. Nice thing is that F15 is a largely unused button, so it doesn't interfere in any way when you're actually doing something on the computer (classic mouse wigglers are very annoying in that regard)
A proper wiggler should reset the timer every time you actually move your mouse so it never do it while you are using your mouse
And wiggle not every second too, like 1 pixel every 30 sec. That was the only thing I disliked with the cheap wigglers, they were great otherwise.
Not Scroll Lock?
that's used in excel
Christ, what for?
with scroll lock the arrow keys move between cells, without it they scroll the sheet.
Isn't it the other way around?
could be, i didn't verify
Well that's useless
does what it says though
I use it every day :D
You're only proving my point
How? I'm telling you that I use the feature every day and you say it's useless? Or am I misunderstanding you?
I'm just saying that the user proposing to use a key that is not used by most applications is better than using a key used by one of the most popular applications.
Of course if you don't use it, and it works for you, that's ok!
The joke was the implication that your spreadsheets were useless.
Ah sorry, that joke flew over my head :D That was a good joke!
Sadly, blocked by my company
Is powershell blocked?
For non-devs (like me), yes.
You can try the physical wigglers? They’re like $20ish and can be plugged into a power source that’s not your work device if your company is particular about that too.
It’s basically a timer and a cheap motor that rotates a disc with a pattern that is meant to trick laser mice into thinking that it’s being moved across a valid surface. Some are better than others.
Other homemade solutions would be opening notepad and having a heavy object press a key, but that seems not ideal for random window pop-ups.
Arrow keys are pretty safe to hold down.
Caffeine's great. I use it to keep my computer on if I'm out doing errands so I can check my emails and whatnot with a remote desktop through my phone.
I often wondered how they did that, thanks!
