Usage Guide

Now that NoMouse is installed, here’s how to use it effectively:

⚠️ NoMouse is optimized for a layout like this. If yours differs, no problem — all keybindings can be customized to suit your setup:

To adjust the default speed, change keybindings, or tweak speed multipliers, click the Settings button in the NoMouse toolbar popup.

Troubleshooting Installation

If you encounter unexpected macOS security warnings or blocked app messages, follow these steps:

• ⚠️ macOS Security Warning
  When you open NoMouse for the first time, you might see this message:

  NoMouse is safe and secure despite this warning.

  To proceed:

  1. Click Done to close the popup.
  2. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security.
  3. Scroll down to the Security section.
  4. You’ll see: 'NoMouse' was blocked from use because it is not from an identified developer.
  5. Click Open Anyway.
  6. Confirm by entering your password if prompted.

Final Notes

Like anything new, NoMouse takes a bit of adjustment. The learning curve is short but steep — it may feel awkward at first, but most users adapt within a few hours. Once it clicks, it becomes second nature.

Want to support NoMouse and unlock powerful features? Here’s what NoMouse Pro offers:

NoMouse Pro is currently in development and not yet available for purchase — but stay tuned!

🚨 macOS shows a popup when toggling Caps Lock (used by NoMouse to switch modes). If that bothers you, you can disable it manually:

Click the "Disable CapsLock Popup" option from the NoMouse toolbar menu. It will copy a command to your clipboard. Paste it into your Terminal and hit Enter. You may be prompted for your password.
