[HOW_TO] Mouse look toggle

Thought some of you would enjoy this little trick I've been keeping doing in all MMO that does not allows a mouse look toogle feature.
1) Download and install AutoHotkey (It's a Freeware)
2) Copy and parse the following code in a txt file
#IfWinActive Star Wars: The Old Republic
Thread, interrupt, 0
;
!LButton::
Thread, Priority, 2147483647
Click down right
exit
;
#IfWinActive
3) Rename the file to an ".ahk" extension
4) For Vista and Windows 7 users
Right click on it and select "Compile script"
Right click on the "Your_script_name_file.exe"
Select Properties
Click on Compability tab
Check Run this program as an administrator
Eventually check Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windoew XP (Service Pack 3)
Either before or after launching your game launch your Your_script_name_file.exe.
ALT + Left mouse button will lock your character in mouse look mode
Right mouse button will deactivate the mouse look toggle
Note: You can replace !LButton (==ALT + Left mouse button) in the script with any other key binding of your liking.
I usually use Shift (+) or CTRL (^) with Left mouse button but I'd have then to remap them too as SWTOR has hard coded them to parse item links in chat and so.
Note: you won't get banned doing so as you are not giving you an edge over others players with this trick and anyway all players owning programmable mouses and keyboards can do the same.

I'd assume it creates a chase camera, or something similar, just going by "mouse look"?

The game doesn't allow you to toggle off Camera Follow.
so his workaround allows you to not have the camera constantly snapping back to follow everytime you let off your mouse.
Players that are often good at kiting classes turn their camera 90 degrees so that they can strafe and still use instants.
I understand though that tons of SWTOR players are so new to the genre they aren't even aware the game lacks this most basic of functions.
Well not exactly.
It's not disabling camera chase but mouse look toggle, enabling you to steer with the mouse as in FPS without being obliged to hold down the mouse button.
Thank for this, it works like a charm!
