Подсказка

Don't forget to enable cursor control in your system settings

[ids]
*

[control+alt]

h = macro(kp4 kp4 kp4 kp4 kp4 kp4 kp4 kp4 kp4 kp4)
j = macro(kp2 kp2 kp2 kp2 kp2 kp2 kp2 kp2 kp2 kp2)
k = macro(kp8 kp8 kp8 kp8 kp8 kp8 kp8 kp8 kp8 kp8)
l = macro(kp6 kp6 kp6 kp6 kp6 kp6 kp6 kp6 kp6 kp6)

b = leftmouse
n = rightmouse

Подсказка

The macro command is used to speed up the mouse movement, since by default it moves slowly

Внимание

If the cursor does not move, then you may have the number pad turned on

If you do not have a NumLock button, you can assign a separate key

z = numlock
