Node:mouse ahead, Next:mouse around, Previous:MOTSS, Up:= M =

mouse ahead vi.

Point-and-click analog of `type ahead'. To manipulate a

computer's pointing device (almost always a mouse in this usage,

but not necessarily) and its selection or command buttons before

a computer program is ready to accept such input, in anticipation

of the program accepting the input. Handling this properly is

rare, but it can help make a WIMP environment much more usable,

assuming the users are familiar with the behavior of the user

interface.
