Hotkeys version 1.0, Copyright ⌐ SheAr software
Introduction
------------
Do you have a friend that has the Microsoft Intellitype software installed
and now has easy access to a lot of common Windows 95 functionality through
hotkeys? Now you can have the same and even more with æHotkeysÆ.
æHotkeysÆ is a program that allows you to define hotkeys to:
- Start applications (like control panel applets or frequently used
programs).
- Send keystrokes to other applications.
- Exit Windows, log off Windows or reboot your computer.
- Quickly access some of Hotkeys internal functions like the Hotkey
editor or the Hotkey list.
How To Use Hotkeys
------------------
Copy the Hotkeys program, the sample hotkey definition file (Hotkeys.hkd)
and the Hotkeys helpfile (Hotkeys.hlp) to a directory somewhere on your
hard disk and create a shortcut to the æHotkeysÆ program in your Startup
folder. Now, every time you start Windows, the Hotkeys program is started
as well. If you press a hotkey defined in the hotkey definition file,
Hotkeys will perform the associated action (e.g. starting an application,
sending keystrokes etc). You can see that Hotkeys works by looking at the
tray-icon: an animation of a key being pressed is played every time you
press a registered hotkey.
To edit the hotkey definitions, right click on the Hotkeys tray-icon and
select Edit hotkeys from the popup-menu or press Win+H. This will bring up
the Hotkey editor, where you can add, edit or delete hotkey definitions.
PostcardWare
------------
The Hotkeys program and the accompanying source-files are PostcardWare. This
means that youÆre completely free to use or modify it to suit your needs,
with just a few restrictions:
- The original copyright remains with the author of the software.
- It is not allowed to sell this package as a whole pretending you wrote
it or otherwise distribute it under your own name.
- You are encouraged to distribute this package to anybody you like, but
you have to give him or her the entire archive unmodified.
- YouÆre not allowed to ask money for the distribution of this package.
- If you use (portions of) the source-code in your own programs, you donÆt
have to mention my name in the credits or about-box. You do have a moral
obligation to send me a postcard of your hometown however.
- If you donÆt use the source-code, but you like the Hotkeys program,
youÆre also encouraged to send me a postcard of your hometown.
Send those Postcards to:
