For some uses, I'd like to be able to use FARR as a replacement for the Windows Run box (or Bayden SlickRun, or similar programs). In that situation, I want to be able to type a full command line, not just a program name. Two examples:
  • putty username@servername
  • gvim some.file.name

I know about the ++ syntax to add command line arguments, but in this case I don't want to have to type anything but the command line as it stands - my muscle memory is used to typing "putty xxx@yyy", so I want to stick with that. One option would be to have an alias executing "cmd ++ /c $$1" but (a) these are not console commands, so I'd rather avoid using the console, and (b) I can't get this to work anyway :-[

Is there a way of simply passing a command direct to Windows CreateProcess()? [For bonus points, if I could specify the working directory to use, that would be even better!] I'm pretty sure I could do this by writing a plugin - but do I need to?

Thanks,
Paul.

Win+S

Pause clashes with some of my programs that use Pause to... well, pause. And Alt-space is the system menu.

Not sure why I chose Win+S, just an unused Win-key combination I could hit with one hand.

I would also find this behaviour useful. At the moment, I use a PowerPro docked icon bar, which takes up about 1/4 of the top edge of my screen, and it auto-hides so that it only pops up when I bump that part of the screen. With a full-width "standard" docked bar like LBC uses, it pops up whenever I bump anywhere on the top of the screen.

I guess it's mostly "just what I'm used to", but to be honest I prefer the PowerPro form...

glad you like it.  try this beta version with the new behavior, and let me know if it works okay:

Looks good  :)

Find And Run Robot / Scrolling the output of appcapappendmemo
« on: April 23, 2010, 11:25 AM »
I'd really like appcapappendmemo, if it wasn't for one thing - once the memo area is full, new text is added at the bottom, but the area is not scrolled to show the latest text. So the user has to scroll to the bottom manually, and it's no use for programs that show an ongoing status message (for example, ping -t).

How easy would it be to add scroll-to-bottom behaviour to appcapappendmemo - either as an option or as default behaviour?

Thanks,
Paul.
