Move Mouse - Actions

Getting Started
This is where things get interesting. Move Mouse can perform a wide range of Actions, which can be
customised to fit your exact requirements.

Action List
Here you will see the list of Actions, which by default will start with a Move Mouse Cursor Action.

Action Controls
Use the Action Controls to add, remove and re-order your Actions.
Add
To add an Action, click the plus icon in the Action Controls, and select the desired Action from the list.

Remove
Select an Action, and click the bin icon.
Re-ordering
Select an Action, and use the arrow icons to re-order them in the list.

Action Properties
Each Action contains its own set of Properties that can be used to customise its behaviour. Some of these
Properties are specific to the type of Action, for example, the Distance Property on the Move Mouse Cursor
Action. There are also Common Action Properties which apply to all Actions.

Common Action Properties

Name
Used to give your Action a meaningful name, which will change how it is displayed in the Action List.

Trigger
Lets Move Mouse know when you would like to perform the Action.
Start - Perform the Action only when Move Mouse starts, whether this be from clicking Move Mouse,
resuming from being paused, or a Scheduled start. This does not include leaving a Blackout window.
Interval - Perform the Action at each interval, which is when the Move Mouse countdown has reached zero.
Stop - Perform the Action when Move Mouse stops, including clicking Move Mouse, entering a paused state,
or a Scheduled stop. This does not include entering a Blackout window.

Repeat
Only available when the Trigger is set to Interval, this option lets Move Mouse whether the Action should be
repeated at every Interval, or just the first time.

Enabled
Allows you to enable or disable Actions without having to remove them and lose any settings you may want to
retain.

Move Mouse Cursor


Description
Moves the mouse cursor (pointer).

Action Properties
Distance
The distance measured in pixels that the mouse cursor will move.
Direction
The direction/pattern the mouse cursor will be moved in.
Stealth
Sets the Direction to None so that the mouse cursor does not visibly move on screen, although it will
still reset the session idle time and prevent the Windows session from locking.
Speed
The speed at which the mouse cursor is moved.

Click Mouse Button


Description
Clicks a mouse button.
Action Properties
Button
Which mouse button to click.
Hold
How long to hold down the mouse button for (disabled by default).

Scroll Mouse Wheel


Activates the mouse wheel
Action Properties
Distance
How far to scroll the mouse wheel.
Direction
The direction to scroll the mouse wheel.

Activate Application
Action Properties
Mode
Specifies how to locate a running application.
Process - Used to locate the application using the process name. This is a good option if the window title of
an application (such as a web browser) frequently changes.
Window - Uses the window title to locate the application. This is a good option when an application has
multiple open windows, or there are multiple instances of the application process running.
Name
The name of the application process/window that you wish to activate.
This will automatically populate with list of running applications for your convenience.

Run Command
Run an external command. Similar to the Windows Run dialogue (Windows Key+R), although this must
point to a valid file path (cannot be used to open folder windows).
Action Properties
Path
File path for the command. This does not have to be an executable file (.exe/.bat/.com/etc.), and can
exist in any location that is accessible from the user session.
Args
Any command line arguments that need to be passed to the file.
Wait
Tells Move Mouse whether to wait for the process to complete/close before continuing.
WARNING: Long running/unstable processes may cause Move Mouse to hang or freeze.
Hidden
Hides the process execution from the user.

Behaviour
Introduction
This section will allow you to customise how Move Mouse operates within the user session.
Behaviours

Repeat actions every/randomly X seconds


Specify how long Move Mouse should wait between repeating your Actions. You can either set a constant
interval, or select random lower and upper interval times.

Automatically stop/pause when user activity detected


Instruct Move Mouse to automatically stop or pause when user activity is detected (mouse movement or
keyboard).

Automatically resume after X seconds of activity


If you have enabled the automatic pause option, you can configure Move Mouse to automatically resume after
a specified number of seconds of inactivity.
These two options work well together when you are frequently away from your session, although want to keep
your session alive. Move Mouse will not be active when your session is in use, but will automatically become
active when you are away.

Launch Move Mouse at start-up


Automatically start Move Mouse after you login to Windows.

Start actions when Move Mouse is launched


Automatically start Move Mouse when it is launched.

Adjust volume when Move Mouse is running


Allow Move Mouse to adjust your volume control when running.

Continue performing actions when session is locked


By default, Move Mouse will not continue running if you lock your session. Enable this option if you would like
Move Mouse to continue working even when your session is locked.
Logging
Enable the Logging feature to see a console output of what Move Mouse is doing. This may help troubleshoot if
Move Mouse isn't behaving as expected

Appearance
Introduction
Use these options to control the appearance of Move Mouse.
Option
Hide Move Mouse window
Hides the main Move Mouse window from the screen. If you would like to disable this option, you can access the Settings
section by right-clicking the system tray icon.
Enabling this option will automatically remove all other Appearance options that no longer apply.
Show topmost when running
Ensures Move Mouse is always on top of other application when in a Running state.
Minimise when not running
Automatically minimise Move Mouse when entering an Idle or Paused state.
Hide from taskbar
Do not show the Move Mouse icon on the Windows taskbar.
Hide from Alt+Tab
Do not show Move Mouse when switching between applications using Alt+Tab.
Override window title
Provide your own custom title for Move Mouse.

Enable screen burn prevention


Enabling this option will introduce a subtle movement to Move Mouse, which although unnoticeable to the eye, will help
prevent screen burn in scenarios where Move Mouse is on screen for prolonged periods of time.

Hide system tray icon


Do not show the Move Mouse system tray icon.
WARNING: If you opt to hide both the Move Mouse window and system tray icon, there will be no way to access the
Settings for further customisations. The Move Mouse system tray icon will be visible momentarily at launch, which will
allow you to right-click and access Settings.

Show current status on main window


Show Move Mouse's status on the main screen to compliment the outer ring colour.
