- If so, then the Hyperbole manual explains that being able to tell
- what a entity will do before you use it is important to the Hyperbole
- design. With the mouse keys, one simply depresses the smart key you
- plan to use over the entity you want, and then while still holding
- the first key, press the other smart key. Then you can release them as you
- like.
-
- What you'll see is a description of what will happen at that location
- when you click the first key. It's quite easy to use once you try it.
-
- Search for 'mouse' in the index should get you the appropriate information.
