mouse ahead

vi. Point-and-click analog of type ahead. To manipulate a computer's
pointing device (almost always a mouse in this usage, but not necessarily)
and its selection or command buttons before a computer program is ready to
accept such input, in anticipation of the program accepting the input.
Handling this properly is rare, but it can help make a WIMP environment much
more usable, assuming the users are familiar with the behavior of the user
interface.
