The point of AutoIDA is to fully automate the process of identifying and activating optimum Windows settings for a particular user. It's an extension of our work on Keyboard Wizard and Pointing Wizard software. This is a proof-of-concept prototype for both keyboard and mouse settings. Available for Windows. Free! but please note that it is not a finished product, and has only been tested within our own research projects.
ModKeys is a free Windows program that completely disables the automatic key repeat behavior, except for the cursor keys. This can allow people who tend to hold keys down a little too long to type easier and with fewer errors. With ModKeys, the regular alphanumeric characters will never repeat, no matter how long you hold them down. But you can still use auto-repeat with the cursor keys, which is the main purpose for auto-repeat. You can adjust the key repeat settings within Windows to make control of cursor movements easier; this can be done in the Windows Control Panel, or with the assistance of our Keyboard Wizard program.
This is a simple macro program produced using AutoHotkey. It is best suited for individuals who are not super-fast typists, as it does not always respond quickly enough to the keystrokes of fast touch-typists. Compatible with Windows. Free!
