I was thinking about writing a driver for laptops that have the touchpad in front of the space bar. Sometimes when I am typing, I accidentally move the focus by touching the touchpad, and my text gets entered in the wrong place. I think I could write a driver, or application, which recognizes that pattern and keeps track of the erroneously placed text. Then a magic keystroke combination could be used to invoke an automatic repair.



That is a good idea, too, but different from what I was thinking. If I, or someone else gets this working, it may have other applications.
