Introduction
============
This is a small program I hacked together the other day (hence the brief
documentation ;). It is a small commodity that allows you to add hotkeys
for any screen (that have a title). When you press the hotkey, the screen
in question is brought to the front.
There are two versions of the programs included, ScreenKeys and
ScreenKeys_OS3. The difference is that the latter requires OS 3.0 or
better, and is a tad smaller (about 600 bytes). Apart from that, they
should be equivalent.
Usage
=====
ScreenKeys only supports Workbench startup at the moment. Thus, you should
install ScreenKeys in your WBStartup drawer. The following tooltypes are
available:
CX_PRIORITY
The priority for the hotkeys.
SCREENKEY
This tooltype describes the screen and the hotkey for that screen.
Any number of SCREEKEY tooltypes may be present. First specify the
pattern describing the screen title, and after that - separated by
spaces or an equal sign - the hotkey for that screen. If a screen
pattern or a hotkey contains spaces, quote it. A screen pattern or
hotkey should not be more than 256 chars, or it will be truncated
(or an error occurs; I haven't checked ;).
If a pattern match several screens, and SCREENTOBACK is specified,
then ScreenKeys will cycle between the matching screens. Thus,
specifying the screen pattern "#?" will behave the same way as the
"lcommand m" key. See the included icon for further examples.
Example: SCREENKEY="Workbench screen" "lcommand w"
SCREENTOBACK
If this tooltype is present, then the formerly frontmost screen
will be brought to the back, after the new front screen has been
brought forward. This is needed to get the screen cycling to work.
However, there are a few problems with this.
First of all, it can sometimes be convenient if this doesn't
happen. Secondly, it doesn't work too well with the attached
screens in OS 3.0+ (and I don't know of any way to find out if two
screens are attached or not). With this tooltype you can decide how
ScreenKeys should behave. If this tooltype isn't specified, then the
screen cycling will only work for two screens.
The DONOTWAIT tooltype in the icon is for the Workbench, when placed in the
Workbench startup drawer.
Author and other things

ScreenKeys was written in 1995 by Magnus Holmgren. It is public domain
(source included, though not very well documented ;), so you can do
anything you like with it (although credits would be appriciated ;).
