- What is MenuStay ?
- ------------------
-
- With this small tool it's now possible to go around the menus without
- holding the right mouse button. Just press AND release the right mouse
- button over the wished menubar.
- If you are in this menu-stay-mode you can add a command to items that don't
- have one, by pressing the left mouse button. It seems that nothing happens,
- but if you get out of the menu and enter it again you can see the installed
- command. Now you can reach the menu item with the right amiga key and the
- installed command key.
-
- You can also activate a screen blanker by pressing and releasing the cursor
- up and down keys simultaneous.
-
-
- How to start
- ------------
-
- From CLI : Type MenuStay and press return.
- There's no need to 'RUN' or 'RUNBACK'.
- From Workbench: Double click on the MenuStay icon.
-
- Once installed, this tool only uses 568 bytes of memory.
-
-
- How to remove
- -------------
-
- Start it again as explained above.
-
-
- Problems
- --------
-
- - The screen blanker does not work.
- Terminate the other (bad programed) screen blanker that you run
- simultaneous.
- MenuStay should work with other (good programed) screen blankers that are
- blanking after a time limit (e.g. DMouse).
-
- - The installed command(s) does not work.
- This can be true, it depends on the program that you are patching.
-
- - You can't reach the intalled command with your keyboard.
- This depends on your keymap that you have set with the setmap program.
- It's not my fault.
-
- - MenuStay installs no commands.
- Well, it seems that they are no commands left to install.
