Is there a freeware program that will allow me to simply hold down a key to restrict my mouse movemement to either the X or Y plane?

I’ve seen this function in graphics programs but never as a standalone program. However, I don’t really see the use for it outside of a graphics program. Good luck

…thanks a lot. And there are many, many uses.

I’m curious to hear some of those uses, because I can’t come up with any. Please share, it may also help find what you are looking for.

Well for one, playing a game like Falling Sand; granted it would be similar to graphic design, but quite different in actuality. Also, aligning things. Sometimes you want to drag + drop things pixel-perfect, and once you have it aligned perfectly on one plane, you sure as hell don’t want to mess it up by trying to drag it flawlessly along the other. Destined for failure. I suppose by “many” I didn’t mean “varied,” as opposed to frequent. As a side note, I found a program called Exact mouse that allows basically this amongs other things, but it’s not freeware…
