Fire mouse move event less to prevent CPU drainage and get rid of menus closing because the mouse left it for 2 pixels!

Many times when we code and listen to the mousemove the result becomes too sensetive.


If I had a menu and wanted to turn it of when the user moved away from it fine. But I wanted this menu to open 2 pixels bellow the click item then inadvertently the mouse would float for a brief moment not on the calling button nor on the menu and thus the menu would close.


Another scenario would be when the user wants to select the last item but they ooppps went to far with their mouse and then the menu closed.


I don't want the menu to remain open until they click out of it either. So here comes the code that reducedes mouse sensitivity in:


var timer = null;
var mouseX = 0;
var mouseY = 0;
var enableHandler = false;
function DrawTo(e){
    mouseX = parseInt(e.pageX);
    mouseY = parseInt(e.pageY);

    console.log(mouseX+" "+mouseY);
}
$(document).mousemove(function (e) {
        if (enableHandler) {
            DrawTo(e);
            enableHandler = false;
        }
});

timer = window.setInterval(function(){
    enableHandler = true;
}, 50);


$(document).click(function () {
       enableHandler = true;
});
this code will let the mouse get engaged every 50ms. Also when clicked the enableHandler is set to true to not miss the first click. 


This is just an example if you were making a drawing application and didn't want to miss the first drawing point. 


Obviously if you were making a drawing application it would be smarter to tie a canDraw boolean to the events mousedown and mouseup but still enableHandler once onMouseDown would help with capturing the first drawing point.

  1. I was tired of frequent disturbance in work because of mouse pad size.Besides, I had to change my computer mouse almost in every year because of its tearing apart. So I switched to best ergonomic mouse pad .It's really awesome.

  6. it can turn into a serious problem. One can’t be prepared for every scenario that can cause havoc to one’s home or business. However it’s always good to have a plan for what to do if the inevitable happens. Especially if you live in a flood zone. Flood Damage Services

  10. Laptop repair Orlando had been great, useful, educated, and was in a position to figure out there is an issue with the keyboard and that I did not have to buy a new laptop. I did feel the entire time I possibly could trust him or her and ultimately it was an inexpensive fix. Great support and highly recommended absolutely.

  11. The common picture that comes in mind when you think of pumping water, is the pressure and the pipes, hose pipes have been used in various applications that concern draining water under pressure.  fuel delivery hose
