MenuKeys V1.0 ============= Hi, this is my first release of MenuKeys. I've started to write this Commodity a little while ago in order to access menus with the keyboard instead of the mouse. I've searched through the fish disks and through the whole Aminet. In vain, some of the programs didn't work at all, some of these programs weren't flexible enough, ... Then there's magic menu, ok, it's a nice program and it's working, but I don't want that much stuff. So I decided to write my own little commodity. In the very beginning I've taken a program named menulock (written by Jan van der Baard) and I've examined the sources to find out how it's working. And here it is, my first version of this program. Try it out, run it with the enforcer, mail me your suggestions and all the bugs you'll find. Legal Stuff: ============ This commodity is Giftware. If you like this program, then send me a small gift. This may be e.g a huge bag full of money, a new car, your soul, a computergame you don't need any more, a postcard, a letter, a nice icon for this program ;c) , EMail, ... The copyright of this program is mine. But I can't take any responsibility for possible damages made by this tool. This archive may only be distributed in unchanged state. Important: Persons who support violence against foreigners or animals aren't allowed to use this tool. Usage: ====== Run this program from your shell or by clicking on it's icon (sorry, there's no icon yet). Currently it supports quite a lot of Tooltypes/Arguments to configure the keys. Hotkey: Action: Default: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- PRIORITY The commodity's priority 0 LOCK Hotkey lcommand space QUIT Quit the commodity ctrl q UP Move the mousepointer up DOWN - " - down LEFT - " - left RIGHT - " - right SUP Move to the end of the menu shift up SDOWN - " - shift down SLEFT - " - shift left SRIGHT - " - shift right AUP Skip 5 menus alt up ADOWN - " - alt down ALEFT - " - alt left ARIGHT - " - alt right ALTJUMP Number of menus to skip 5 LBUTTON Select a menuitem space CANCEL Cancel the menu escape Ok, to activate the Menucontrol, you'll have to press the LOCK Hotkey (e.g rcommand space) and the menu in the upper left corner will pop up. Use the cursor keys to navigate the mousepointer. If you'd like to enter a submenu, then you'll have to move the pointer to the appropriate Menuitem and press Space. Now you can enter submenus by pressing cursor left and leave them by pressing cursor right. Known Bugs ========== Cancel with the right mousebutton doesn't work like I want it to. If your leaving the menubar by pressing the right mousebutton, your cursorkeys, escape and the spacebar will be locked. Press your LOCK hotkey once to reactivate them and to make the mousepointer appear. Todo ==== Keyrepeat for the cursor keys Cancel with the right mousebutton ...
