As the developer of MercuryMover, i thought i would pass on a hint addressing one of the points raised in the review. In order to keep the interface easy to understand, we don't provide a means to specify arbitrary values for how much each modifier key is "worth". However, if you're not afraid of the terminal (and how many people who frequent MacOSXHints are? ;-) you can change these values via the command line. If, like our reviewer (the inestimable robg), you want your "no modifier" behavior to be 20 pixels, then you would use this command:

defaults write com.heliumfoot.MyWiAgent MyWiModifierNone 20

Each modifier key has it's own name: MyWiModifierCommand, MyWiModifierShift, MyWiModifierOption, MyWiModifierControl and MyWiModifierNone . The number at the end of the command (in this case 20) can be any integer greater than 0. Of course, if you make it too large, MercuryMover will Move you right off of your screen.

Finally, i wanted to offer a special "Pick of the Week" discount to all MacOSXHints readers. Enter the discount code "HINTS" when purchasing MercuryMover for a 20% discount. This discount will be in effect through 5 May 2008.

Happy moving and resizing,
