This one does exactly what you expect it to do while taking up only 40K.

It doesn’t work everywhere (like Firefox, for example), but this freeware, Windows only utility cuts down on unnecessary keyboard-to-mouse movement. MouseAway [via NoHeat] […]

    I have it and I think is a very smart helpful program. Often when you type, the mouse cursor gets in your way and obscures your text. This tiny application called MouseAway was created just for solving this issue. MouseAway checks if your mouse pointer is near your keyboard pointer.

Got something to say?
