Supressing mouse-position-events

Hi,

An idea I just came up with would be an extension that would suppress mouse-move events while a key was down: often, I want to use the keyboard to navigate to a submenu, then use the mouse to select an item from it. But as soon as I move the mouse (since it's not on the menu), the menu closes. This is similar to the "pop the mouse cursor to the location of the default button" extensions that have been floating around since the beginning of time, and are available for OSX at least in commercial form (anyone know of an OSS one?)

Is this doable from Cocoa (via InputManager perhaps), or is it more appropriate to be done from the kernal layer by hacking with mouse events?

Jim
