I know with 11.04 you can snap the windows around, but is there a way to have the mouse snap to the default-lit dialog box in any window when selecting an action?

Thanks.

I'm gonna assume that there's nothing like it? :o

That's because a lot of people find it annoying: http://www.google.com/search?q=mouse+snap+to+default+ubuntu

I am one of those people who make sure to turn it off immediately after I install windows if I find my cursor suddenly appearing in strange places after I click OK on UAC.

I always used the enter key if I needed to click many dialogs.

It's _never_ enabled by default.

I doubt you ever "turned it off".

It's _never_ enabled by default.

It was when I installed with my ASUS Recovery Disk for some reason.

But now I just immediately do it no matter if I install windows via OEM. Just a habit, I guess.

I was gonna say, it NEVER is turned on by default, no matter what you do. lol

It doesn't appear in strange places anyways, it only gives you in 99% of the cases 2 options, "ok" "cancel" or something to that effect.
Very handy and personally I love having it as an option - but you have to know what you're doing and going to be clicking on.
