This project forked from martin-stone /touchcursor
A keyboard utility that lets you use the home keys (e.g. JKL) as cursor keys -- in all Windows programs -- keeping your fingers in the best position for fast typing.

touchcursor's Introduction
TouchCursor Readme
==================
Dependencies
============
C++ Libraries
-------------
* wxWidgets 2.8 (unicode builds)
* boost 1.39 (later may also work)
The location of these libraries can be configured by editing
touchcursor.vsprops.
Tools
-----
* Microsoft Visual Studio 2008
(Haven't tried VC++ Express)
Scripts that build the installer and docs require:
* InnoSetup >=v5.2.2 (http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php )
* Python >=v2.4 (http://python.org )
* Python markdown library (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Markdown )
* 7zip (http://www.7-zip.org/ )
Building
========
Run build.bat to build executables and docs and package them into zip and
installer files. Alternatively, load touchcursor.sln into Visual Studio and
build in the IDE to build the executables only.
If your Visual Studio installation is not at the location used in the batch
file, you'll need to edit it.
Project Directories
===================
touchcursor
Source for touchcursor.exe, which loads the hook DLL and runs the systray
menu.
touchcursordll
Source for touchcursor.dll. This is the core of TouchCursor and contains
the keyboard hook function. (Windows requires this to be in a DLL rather than
an exe.)
tcconfig
Source for tcconfig.exe, which edits the configuration file. This was
implemented as separate program to keep the memory usage of the permanently
running modules low.
touchcursor_update
Source for a touchcursor_update.exe, which is optionally used to check for a
new version of TouchCursor. The separate exe is partly due to paranoia about
malware scanners that might be suspicious of a program that installed a
keyboard hook and connected to the internet.
tclib
Functions shared by the other projects.
setup
Source, scripts and dependencies for building the installer.
docs
Source for the help file. The text is in Markdown format. The html is built
by a script in the setup directory.
