Abstract:
1. A computing device for managing inputs from a plurality of user input device actuators, the computing device comprising code stored in memory for implementing via a processor: an actuator input module configured to receive a first actuator input from a first scroll wheel in a mouse, and a second actuator input from a second scroll wheel in the mouse; and a window selection module configured to select a first selected window to which the first actuator input is sent according to predetermined selection rules and concurrently select a second selected window to which the second actuator input is sent according to the predetermined selection rules, send the first actuator input to the first selected window and to send the second actuator input to the second selected window, and encode the first actuator input to instruct the first selected window to perform a first action in response to receiving the first actuator input and encode the second actuator input to instruct the second selected window to perform a second action in response to receiving the second actuator input.
