Mojo
Gesture
Mojo has two modes Click-on and a click-thru
Charm mode. In the Ghost click-through mode, the character remains
topmost without obscuring or obstructing the interface underneath,
allowing the user to use it normally. In Click-on mode the character
can be used in a conventional way. Mojo responds to gestures in
both these modes.

and see Mojo gesture in action
To operate Mojo simply draw a symbol with
the mouse pointer while holding down the right mouse button. The
command will be directed at the in focus application. The character
does not have to be positioned over the application you want to
control, that application only has to be in focus.
To find which gestures are associated with
the Mojo Charm control simply draw a diagonal right-down gesture
to reveal the Mojo control menu menu

when Windows file explorer or a Web browser are the foreground
Window will display a context menu with a list of the related
gesture symbols for the current foreground window
Mojo also has a context menu which can
be summoned by right click on the centrally located move control,
when Mojo is in click-on mode.
When Mojo is in Click-on mode there are
a number of conventional controls on Mojo.
Move (centre control) Left click and hold
to reposition Mojo, on release remains in Click-on mode
Help, brings up a simple explanation of
how to use Ablin Mojo
Exit, double click to exit the application
Follow mouse pointer will set the mojo
control to follow the mouse pointer. The user can set the distance
and speed of the control
Character, brings up the Mojo control panel
with the select character tab selected. Tool-tip display current
date.
Settings, brings up the Mojo control panel.
Hide Mojo, the character can be brought
back to the screen by either clicking on the system tray icon,
pressing the Show /toggle_Click-thru button on the control dialog
general tab or pressing ctrl+Win/Start button
The character can be repositioned using
any of the above controls, again on release remains in Click-on
mode.
Alternatively, the character can be repositioned
using the area between these controls. On release Mojo switches
to click-through or Charm mode.
To switch Mojo from Click-on to click-through
mode right-click on an area avoiding the centre move control.
Alternatively, click on the tray icon to toggle between modes
or right click on the move control or the system tray icon and
select the ‘Click-thru’ menu option.
To switch Mojo from click-through mode
(Charmed) simply right click on the character or Charm control.
The easiest way to switch between modes
is to use a right mouse click, but avoid positioning the cursor
over the move control.
The easiest way, when in click-thru or
Charm mode, to access the same previously mentioned functions
is to either use a right mouse click where you can use those controls
as described earlier or use the Charm menu, which can be accessed
by drawing a down-right diagonal gesture.
To reposition Mojo first make sure it is
in click-on mode and either pick it up from the move control or
an area without a control. The first option when the mouse button
is released will leave Mojo in click-on mode the second will switch
it to click-through when released.
Another way to reposition Mojo is to use the Windows key combination 'Ctrl+Start', posistion the mouse pointer where you wish to locate Mojo and press the control key followed by the windows Start key
Special commands
Mojo can be hidden for 3 seconds with an
'up down' gesture. Occasionally, Mojo interrupts right mouse click
to summon a context men, if the character is positioned over that
area of the screen. This allows Mojo to be dismissed out of the
way when necessary.
Mojo can be hidden permanently using an
up-right-down-left gesture
A neat little trick is by performing a
down-left-up-right gesture the Mojo control will follow the mouse
pointer. The distance from the pointer, the distance the control
moves and the rate the control moves can be adjusted with the
control panel

Hints tips and tricks
To avoid continually swapping your hand
from the mouse to the keyboard to press keys such as, 'delete',
'backspace', 'return/enter', 'ctrl+p' simply use the associated
gesture.
Delete files, using a right-left gesture
Mojo will press the delete key for you. And the 'are you sure
you wish to delete' this file dialog can be controlled by using
the gesture for the carriage-return/enter gestures. The Tab gesture
can be used to select between options on a dialog or program application.
If you use a web browser in full screen mode Mojo is a useful
alternative tool to provide access to many of the commonly used
functions.
Or dismiss the command, use Tab to select
No and then gesture a carriage return/enter.
The above two gestures can be used to navigate
to the beginning ('Home') of a document and the last line or 'End'
of a document or web page.
