  • Publication number: 20080222573
    Abstract: A computer pointing device has a first additional button that jumps a cursor off the screen to the START button. The second additional button protects the privacy of screen content by instantly moving the cursor to the minimize box of the most recently opened window. When multiple child windows are open, in cascade or tile format, pressing again on the second button instantly moves the cursor to the second most recently opened window. If the child windows are in cascade format, that second most recently opened window jumps to the foreground with the cursor at the minimize box. Further pressing the second button moves the cursor to the third most recently opened window. If there are three buttons and a fourth press of the second button is made, the cursor moves back to the most recently opened child window and, if in cascade format, that window returns to the foreground.
