onMouseDown, mouseOver, mouse event Explanation: There are different terms that are likely to be used, depending on context. In most event-driven programming languages (Javascript, for example) "onMouseOver" is the name of an event created when the mouse is moved into a specific region (over a button, over a text field, etc). "onMouseDown" is the event created when a mouse button is clicked, "onMouseUp" is the event created when a depressed mouse button is released, etc. Taken together, these are called "mouse events". I don't think that "on mouse" will be used alone very often, and "mouse over" as suggested above sounds like a very casual usage that normally won't be suited to use in a professional translation (in a translation, I would always use something like "if you move the [mouse] cursor over the icon selector..." etc). Example sentence(s):

depends on verb or noun usage Explanation: Placing the "mouse" inside a certain region of the screen really means that you are placing the cursor over that region. The mouse events that Tony Gonzalez refers to are common to many languages and are fundamental to any GUI-driven operating system, as well as their underlying programming languages. "mouseover" is used as a term to describe placing the cursor over something and to expect a certain reaction (e.g. balloon appears with explanatory text). For example, if you place the mouse over X, then Y happens. Buttons with mouseover functionality, for example, will do something if you place the CURSOR (not mouse) over the button. Mouseover (as a single word) should only be used as a noun referring to the act of placing the cursor over something. Note, you don't have to use the mouse, as you could also be using a trackpad to accomplish the same thing, but because most languages are a bit old in their terminology, they use "mouse". You should not use "to mouse over" as a verb => "place cursor over...." is correct. Also, even though the Japanese says "オンマウス" you should not say "place mouse over...." as in fact you are placing the cursor, not the mouse, over the GUI object in question. Example sentence(s):
