Wait…™ extensions may be used only inside a sequence. Wait… makes it possible for you to make sequences that wait for certain window activity. Using Wait…, you can make a sequence that will run, wait for a dialog box to appear or disappear, or a window to change and then continue.
With Wait…, you can design a sequence that opens a document, selects “print” from the menu, clicks the “OK” button in the print dialog box, waits until the document is finished printing, closes the document and shuts down your computer. You can go home and get the document printed at the same time.
Note: You must import or build the Wait… QuicKey into your sequence. You cannot record it into the sequence.
To Define a Wait… QuicKey
1) Open QuicKeys 2.
2) Select “Extensions” from the Define menu.
3) Select “Wait…” from the submenu. The Wait… dialog box will appear.
4) Click on the pop-up menu next to “Wait until:”. Select the action that you want Wait… to wait for.
The Pop-Up Menu
Window changes: Selecting this option will cause Wait… to wait until the front window changes before it allows the sequence to continue.
Window is gone: Selecting this option will cause Wait… to wait until the front window is gone before it allows the sequence to continue.
Dialog in front: Selecting this option will cause Wait… to wait until the front window is a dialog box before it allows the sequence to continue.
Not dialog: Selecting this option will cause Wait… to wait until the front window is not a dialog box before it allows the sequence to continue.
Note: Checking the “Allow user actions while waiting” check box will let you type, click buttons, use the mouse or perform other actions while the sequence is waiting.
5) Press the Tab key. The highlight will shift to the “Keystroke:” field. Enter a keystroke if you want. But, since Wait… must be included in a sequence, it is not necessary.
6) Click “OK”.
