Re: Virtual Mouse Behaviour with different key mapping

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.
Thank you Felix.

Just for the record: I use the virtualmouseclone as a kind of laser pointer from within a slideshow app and need a reworked keyboard mapping from the standard Virtual Mouse Behaviour to play nicely together with the slideshow app.

Seems like both versions work !?!

But I still have one issue:

1.) I have mapped a short press on the MENU Button to activate/deactivate my virtualmouseclone from my parent behaviour (slideshow app), which works.

2.) With a long press of the MENU button I skip out of the virtualmouseclone and/or out of my parent behaviour as well, depending on whether the virtualmouseclone is currently activated or not, and then open the Remote Buddy Menu. Works as well.

3.) Then with a short press on the MENU Button, the Remote Buddy Menu closes. And with the next short press on the MENU Button, I would have expected the Remote Buddy Menu to open again. But the Remote Buddy Menu does not open, and instead my virtualmouseclone gets activated again, showing the mousespot !?!

4.) The next short press on the MENU Button deactivates my virtualmouseclone and from there on each short press on the MENU Button opens/closes the Remote Buddy Menu as expected.

The problem seems to be, that I cannot completely deactivate the virtualmouseclone manually in 2.).

I execute the following Behaviour Actions in 2.) with a long press of the MENU button, while virtualmouseclone is active:

Mousespot on/off 
Deactivate current behaviour (virtualmouseclone) 
Activate parent behaviour (slideshow app) 
Virtual key press: MENU (to quit running slideshow) 
Open Remote Buddy Menu

Does it need some AppleScript, to deactivate the stickyBit? I thought running Deactivate current behaviour would clear the bit.

A bit difficult to explain. I can sent you the behaviour, if you like, so you can see it yourself.
