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.

 

Watch the youTube video 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

 

 

Drawing a "Questionmark" symbol 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
