Mouse Hunter Utility

Key Features of Mouse Hunter

• Mouse Hunter is a productivity enhancement utility that optimizes the behavior of the mouse scroll wheel in the Windows environment.
• By default, Windows often sends scroll commands only to the window that currently has focus, regardless of where the mouse cursor is actually positioned.
• Mouse Hunter overrides this behavior, intercepting the scroll wheel input and directing it to the window directly beneath the mouse cursor.
• This allows users to scroll through background documents, browser tabs, or file lists without having to click on them to make them active first, significantly streamlining workflows for users who multitask.
• The utility mimics the efficient scrolling behavior found in macOS and some Linux desktop environments.
• It supports horizontal scrolling if the mouse hardware includes a tilt-wheel or horizontal capability.
• Users can configure specific applications to be whitelisted or blacklisted if the default Windows behavior is preferred for certain programs.
• The software runs silently in the system tray with a minimal memory footprint and consumes negligible system resources, making it an unobtrusive addition to the desktop experience.
