Synopsis[]

Move the mouse to any place of the screen with a few keystrokes by zooming (as much precision as you want).

Description[]

When the command is invoked the mouse is warped to the center of the screen and a outline is drawn dividing the screen in 4 squares. You can then press an arrow key (or HJKL key) and the mouse will be warped to the center of a subset of the squares, half the size of the previous area. each new keystroke will half the area, increasing precision exponentially. When you press the spacebar or enter a mouse click is performed. If you press ESC no click will be made, but the mouse will be moved to that position.

The idea was inspired by a similar proyect shown in the Yahoo Hack Day '06: http://www.semicomplete.com/presentations/hackday06/

The keys QWAS can also be used for warping the mouse to one of the four quarters of the square, which would result in even less keypresses.
