Disable mouse tracking, mouse clicks, and scroll wheel when panel onscreen

Use any or all of the following to disable some or all mouse-related activity while the switcher panel is onscreen:
defaults write ~/Library/Application\ Support/Witch/Settings "Ignore Mouse Movement" -bool YES
defaults write ~/Library/Application\ Support/Witch/Settings "Ignore Mouse Clicks" -bool YES
defaults write ~/Library/Application\ Support/Witch/Settings "Ignore Scroll Wheel" -bool YES
If you set these, please remember you did so, and don't write asking why the mouse doesn't work when the panel is onscreen!

We don't have these as visible prefs for a number of reasons, but the biggest is that very few people have inquired about them over the years. To apply these, disable Witch, quit System Prefs, open Terminal, paste each line you want to use, press Return. Then re-enable Witch, and that should be that.

regards;
-rob.

Hello,

I just purchased Witch today, and I am using version 4 beta. Here is 
something I have been noticing very soon (it might be just me, having bad 
habits):

Many times, while I am switching to a different window I am also moving a 
bit the mouse, maybe because i was in the process of moving the mouse 
pointer somewhere, or just cause is there on my right hand all time and 
might move it a bit without realizing... as soon as I move the mouse I am 
selecting the wrong window. Having the option "Releasing all modifier keys 
dismisses list and activates selected item" make it more likely to happen, 
because the windows switching is done very quick.

Thanks.
