- short: Multi-function commodity
-
- Yak 1.0 (c) 1992, Martin W. Scott. All Rights Reserved.
- --------------------------------------------------------
- [Needs KickStart 2.04 or above]
-
- Yak stands for "Yet Another Kommodity" (never was any good at speling),
- and is a mouse/window manipulation program along the same lines as DMouse,
- MightyMouse etc.
-
- Why write another one? None of the others (and I've looked at almost all of
- them) were quite right for me. Yak has the following features:
-
- - AutoPoint (sunmouse) that only activates when mouse stops;
- (Compatible with SiliconMenus' Iris menus)
-
- - KeyActivate windows (when key pressed);
-
- - Click windows to front or back;
-
- - Cycle screens with mouse;
-
- - Mouse and Screen blanking;
-
- - Close/Zip/Shrink/Enlarge windows with programmable hotkeys;
-
- - Activate Workbench by hotkey (to get at menus when WB obscured);
-
- - Pop up a palette on front screen (requires reqtools.library);
-
- - Insert date (in various formats);
-
- - KeyClick with adjustable volume;
-
- - PopCommand key for starting a command (like PopCLI);
-
- - Nice gadtools settings window;
-
- - All settings accessible from Workbench tooltypes;
-
- Look familiar? It's a combination of the AutoPoint, ClickToFront, Blanker
- and IHelp standard commodities (on the Extras disk) with a hint of
- KCommodity and DMouse thrown in. And it's quite small, about 11K. It uses
- about 18K when running. If you use just two of the standard commodities,
- you'll save memory by using Yak.
