EsportToys / TPMouse

A virtual trackball for Windows, via vim-like homerow controls.

Configuration

Edit the options.ini file to modify the inertia parameters or keybinds. If not present, the script uses the following defaults:

[Inertia]
DampingCoef=6
BrakingCoef=60
NormalSensitivity=1
ScrollSensitivity=1

[Bindings]
up=VK_I
left=VK_J
down=VK_K
right=VK_L
mb1=VK_F
mb2=VK_E
mb3=VK_R
brake=VK_S
scroll=VK_SPACE

The keybinds will require the script to be restarted to take effect, whereas the inertia parameters are reloaded upon activation of Inertia Mode.
