- QuickCaret...
-
- Written by Richard Millican, Febrary 1993
-
- A tiny program hacked-up in minutes - literally.
- Do whatever you like with it, if you improve it,
- let me know...
-
- Ever found it annoying to have to keep clicking
- windows to get the caret ? Well, load this little
- program and the caret will move from window
- to window automatically when you move the pointer.
-
- There are a few problems with editors and
- positioning, but you can still click to the required
- position if needs be.
-
- To quit from it you'll need to use the task manager,
- no snazzy front ends here :-)
-
- Hope someone finds it useful, if you're using a
- task window based language that needs text importing
- all the time then it's a must !

- Version 1.01
-
-
- Changes:
-
- o Rewritten in assembler.
- o Now loads as a Module.
- o Sleeps for 10cs between polls.
- o QuitQCaret Obey file to kill the module (quitting from the
- task manager still works, of course).
-
- Problems:
-
- o DBox's may not know where to put caret or get confuzzed by
- the caret's position.
- o Some apps interpret gain and loss of caret specially
- (e.g. Mads Meisner-Jensen's Hextris).
- o Some apps do not pass on hot keys (e.g. the DDE FrontEnd).
