Controls windows via keyboard
.description
WindowKey is yet another input helper program. The job of those programs
is well known: they activate, bring to front, push to back, zoom, etc...
any window or screen (in the Intuition sense of the word) on user request.
Lots of programs exist that do that, including Commodores'FKey provided on
the workbench disk, but none of them had a user interface as powerful and
were as flexible as WindowKey. The interface for WindowKey was directly
reproduced from that of my other program Injector. The reason why I chose
to make two different programs instead of including the features of
WindowKey in Injector is that you can use either program without the other,
which sounds quite normal since their jobs are completely different (this
is one reproach to other input helper programs which tend to do everything
and end up doing nothing).
Another reason to the existence of WindowKey is the possibility to control
Intuition only from the keyboard, instead of having to hunt for a mouse
hidden under a pile of paper when wanting to change the active window.
To make this work, WindowKey has its own language, made of keywords, with
or without arguments enclosed in parentheses. You will have to read the
references sections for further informations.
