- ShortCut! v1.0

-
-
- ShortCut! is a utility that makes using the CLI easier : instead of having to
- type long command sequences over and over again, you can now type them in
- only once and replace them with one key stroke. One key stroke also replaces
- common CLI commands such as Dir, List, Newcli, etc.
-
- ShortCut! adds menus to the CLI window, so all commands are accessible via
- mouse or command keys. You can build macro sets, then save or load them.
- To install ShortCut!, just add "run ShortCut! [<filename>]" to your startup
- sequence. If you specify a filename, ShortCut! will load the macro set file
- so it will be ready to run. This way you can have your most common command
- sequences at your service as soon as AmigaDos loads.
-
- The commands in the Extras menu must be in the 'c' directory of the disk you
- booted with or in the current directory (With the execption of: Cd, Delete &
- Makedir). If you want to run other commands using ShortCut!, you can rename
- them to one of the names in the Extras menu, or make a macro for them.
-
- When editing macros, you don't have to click in the string gadgets to activate
- them - the first gadget is automatically selected (unless you're using KS1.1)
- and pressing return moves you on to the next line, so the need for mouse
- control is minimal. If you made a mistake and you want to undo it, click on
- the CANCEL gadget, and any changes you made will be erased.
-
- The current directory of ShortCut! is the one it finds when it loads. To
- change it, choose the 'CD' option from the Extras menu. Using the Cd command
- from the CLI has no affect on ShortCut!, and vice versa.
-
- ShortCut! adds its menus to the current window, and since it's not picky about
- the window it adds its menus to - It may add them to a non-CLI window, such
- as Ed's window. This may be useful in some cases and destructive in other, so
- be careful.
-
- Please note: ShortCut! works better with KickStart 1.2!
-
- ShortCut! is released as a ShareWare product. Copy it to your friends, upload
- it to your favorite BBS, but DON'T sell it. This file must accompany it.
- If you decide to keep it, PLEASE send me a donation. Any respectable amount
- will be appreciated, and those over $10 will recieve the latest version of
- ShortCut! and the latest version of PrinText. PrinText is another ShareWare
- program I wrote: It is a text viewing program which uses a scroll bar to make
- it easier to read text files. It includes IFF picture displaying (Now you can
- add artwork, digitized pictures and diagrams to your text files), speech,
- search, and more....
- With your support, I will write more useful ShareWare programs.
