 The ultimate navigation tool for Internet Explorer (IE).
IE Flower is a small yet very powerful tool which allows you to navigate faster on the Internet using either a mouse or
a touchpad.
Have you ever been frustrated to always have to move your cursor to the tool bar to perform a simple Previous page? With
IE Flower, a double-click with the left mouse button (or a double-click on the touchpad) is enough.
The number of functions was increased in redefining the right button as a Shift "like" button. For example, holding the right
mouse button while rotating the wheel performs an horizontal scrolling. See the table below for a
complete list of functions.
A new scrolling mode was also added. Hold the left button down and move the mouse horizontally or vertically (a blue cross appears)
for a fine scroll.
This mode can be easily activated or desactivated from the Flower.
The Flower appears when holding the left button pressed for some time. Most functions are the same as the mouse buttons.
It is particularly efficient while working on a laptop computer using the touchpad.
Obviously, you will need to practice this new way to use the mouse. But once mastered, you won't step back...
Actually, IE Flower works only with Internet Explorer (IE).
Next steps will be:
- Implementation of other browsers and programs.
- Customization of functions and mouse buttons.
IE Flower was successfully tested with:
