General Software Discussion / Any new "List Hotkey" apps?
« on: December 26, 2023, 11:57 AM »
I still have, and occasionally use, the excellent Ethervane ActiveHotkeys
https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=18189.0
by Tranglos.  It looks like Tranglos hasn't been on the DC forums for 4 years, so I didn't reply to the thread. 

Over the years I've seen a couple of similar apps.  Of course they all suffer from Windows OS limitation of not being able to tell you which app the hotkey is associated with.  Has anyone tried to make a "logger" that would always run in the background, and watch for hotkey presses, then attempt to determine which app is being affected by them?  The app could then save the "assumed associations" to an .ini file and use them to populate a List Hotkeys app like ActiveHotkeys...

Of course antiviruses would probably flag this as a virus(?)  I dunno.  Seems like it might be a worthy project. 

Thoughts?

General Software Discussion / Best way to cull old browser bookmarks?
« on: March 26, 2022, 01:20 PM »
I have hundreds (thousands?) of sites bookmarked in Chrome.   Whenever I go to cull out the ones I don't need anymore, I either get distracted or overwhelmed and give up.   I was thinking that it would be great if there was a tool that would let me delete all the ones that haven't been used in 2 years, or 1 year.   It would be good if I could even just delete all the ones that no longer point to anything valid. 

Do you guys have any tips for this?

General Software Discussion / Tool to find where a hotkey press goes?
« on: February 03, 2022, 05:00 PM »
Ctrl+Alt+Shift+C stopped working in one of my apps.  I think it's because I probably assigned it to a different app and can't remember which..  :-\   Is there a tool that can "detect" which app is using the keypress?  I see some info about a tool called Spy++, but I think you have to have Visual Studio installed to use that.  Do you guys know of any other utilities to do this?  I'm on Win 10.

EDIT:  I figured it out...  I had an AHK thing set to that hotkey.

Insistently, I don't think it's possible to "see" where hotkeys go in Windows.  Nirsoft has an app that will tell you which hotkeys are free vs used.  It can't tell you what they are assigned to though.

Post New Requests Here / Background tool to open links in correct Chrome profile?
« on: January 26, 2022, 01:59 PM »
I suspect that this is not even possible, but I thought I'd post anyway -- just in case. 

I use Chrome as my web browser.  Most of my bookmarks etc. are in my main personal profile. At work though, when people share links with me, I have to be in my Google account from work.   You switch profiles by clicking your avatar in the top/right of the Chrome window.   It's also possible to make Desktop links directly to each profile.  In my case the two link targets are:
 
C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome_proxy.exe  --profile-directory=Default
and
C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome_proxy.exe"  --profile-directory="Profile 1"

The problem is that, if you don't specify (by using one of the above links), Chrome will always open a link using the most recently-accessed profile.  So multiple times per day, I'll open a link at work that someone sends me, then Chrome will pop up in my personal profile and give me an error message that I don't have permission to access the file.  It's super-annoying! 

What I'd like is some way to "tell" Chrome that if I open an Outlook email link, use my work profile.  I guess that would need to be some kind of back-running utility that stays on all the time?  I don't know.  Maybe an Outlook add-in is what I need. 

Thoughts?

Clipboard Help+Spell / Feature Request: Hotkey for Paste entire stack.
« on: January 25, 2022, 05:34 PM »
Hi Mouser.  Feature Request for CHS:  Ability to assign a hotkey to the command "Stack operations > Paste entire stack as one text block."  Actually, maybe another hotkey for  "Stack operations > Paste entire stack using Tabs."

I noted you already have one for  "Stack operations > Set stack marker," so that's cool. 

Thanks for considering this!
