About myPoint Pro
myPoint Pro combines six tools: Crosshair, Grille, Coordinates, Mouse Halo, Mouse Locator, and Heavy Shade.
When myPoint is running, no icon is shown in the Dock.
The only visible part is a small icon in menu bar extras - so called myPoint icon: 
myPoint menu
Click on myPoint icon to open myPoint menu - this is a drop-down menu shown just below myPoint icon.
All the basic control is through myPoint menu: 
The About panel
Click on the "About myPoint Pro" row in myPoint menu to open the About panel -
it contains information about the current version of myPoint.
There are important links at the bottom of the panel too.
Exiting myPoint
Open myPoint menu and click on the "Quit myPoint Pro" row to terminate the application.
Enabling and disabling myPoint
myPoint can be enabled or disabled.
Open myPoint menu and click on the related checkbox.
When myPoint is disabled, all the tools are suspended -

So disabling myPoint is the easiest way to free all computing resources consumed by tools.

Advanced mouse tracking
Some third party software changes mouse position without broadcasting all mouse events.

Working with the Hotkey editor
The editor operates in two modes - Edit and View - and two states - Normal and Hint.
The Normal state is the default.
The Hint state occurs when the mouse hovers over the editor or in other circumstances.
View mode
Depending on the state, the editor displays the current hotkey combination (in normal state)
or suggests changing the hotkey (in Hint state).
Hint state: when the mouse hovers over the editor. Enter Edit mode: click inside the editor or press Space while the editor is focused.
Edit mode
Normal state: the editor shows key symbols if at least one of
the following modifier keys is pressed: Shift, Control, Option, Command.
Hint state: if no modifier key is pressed, or if the mouse hovers over the star button on the right side of the editor. Exit Edit mode: entering an acceptable hotkey combination or pressing the ESC key.
