Normally, when selecting the image by clicking on it (no tools active), <Ctrl-C> copies the image to the clipboard...

ScreenshotCaptor has a setting for capturing the cursor in screenshots or not.

Isn't 10 to 12 meters, about the max a BT connection will cover

-Ath (September 18, 2020, 02:28 AM)

Well, that seems a bit out of time, BT has a range of 100 meters in modern (v3.1+) versions, and even up to 400 meters in v5 BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) so that should be usable.

I guess Blutooth Chat is what you want.

-KodeZwerg (September 18, 2020, 03:44 AM)

Except that it doesn't seem to support speech, only chat and images.

This one, WiFi / Bluetooth Call & Chat does also support calls over both BT and WiFi.

Writing a letter, stick it on a brick, throw it. Might have more range than BT and you train your body \(°-°)/

Screenshot Captor / Re: Cannot capture browser windows

Well, then I'd expect all ScreenshotCaptor/Firefox users would experience that, I guess (and I've been using them together since 'the beginning of time' (or about that long, since 2006 at least)) and never saw that happening.

Screenshot Captor / Re: Cannot capture browser windows

« on: September 18, 2020, 02:32 AM »

I expect the OP's computer is either virus-infected or the browser is hijacked, so it opens that site on specific keypresses.

Coding Snacks / Re: Fun Run - Bluetooth discussion

« on: September 18, 2020, 02:28 AM »

Isn't 10 to 12 meters, about the max a BT connection will cover, (see below) stil within (loud) talking distance? Or you could buy a cheap set of walky talkies that does exactly what you need, just tune all to the same frequency.

Edit: Corrected.

AHK is not a programming language as far as i know

-KodeZwerg (September 14, 2020, 02:29 AM)

A beg to differ on that opinion, as long as we dare to call Javascript a programming language instead of a script language, then an actually compilable language like AHK, or Autoit for that matter, deserves the name programming language.

Grrrr, I feel your pain. Just like how Firefox for Android (I use that on my tablet) was 'improved', Tabs are behind a button instead of at the top of the screen (they already hid when scrolling down, so why make it 2 taps instead of 1?), and Refresh and Back in the menu

Yes and yes.

How do you know the limit of undo's is your destination?

-tomos (September 09, 2020, 04:09 PM)

OIW: How do you know the count of Ctrl-Z to be sent? 10x or 25x, or ...?

why not press Ctrl+z and hold until you reach your destination?

-tomos (September 09, 2020, 04:09 PM)

That is a far more down to earth approach

Coding Snacks / Re: ControlZ x times

with control+Z and shift-control-z combinations

-Contro (September 09, 2020, 01:45 PM)

Applications adhering to Windows standards use Ctrl-Z for undo and Ctrl-Y for redo, as that's the most common used key configurations. PSPad is one of very few applications that uses the non-standard Ctrl-Shift-Z for redo.

@KodeZwerg if you start anything for this, please allow configurable hotkeys for sending the undo/redo commands.

Coding Snacks / Re: ControlZ x times

indicates to me that Contro might actually be in the market for a full versioning system.

-Shades (September 06, 2020, 03:17 PM)

Well, yes and no. Knowing the OP for a while tells me that this is way overcomplicated for the use he has, as for each change to be 'recorded' so it can be reverted, it needs to be committed, and my interpretation of his request, it seems that he would expect it 'as you type', like a built-in undo/redo, and not introduce extra keys to press or mouse-clicks to make.

146

Coding Snacks / Re: ControlZ x times

« on: September 06, 2020, 02:04 PM »

Undo/Redo support can only effectively be built into the software that is used/meant to work on a filetype. No way of adding that externally, other than implementing a local git repo and committing every change, and that is quite impractical.
This is also the reason the way Undo/Redo is implemented differently in different software, as not all file formats are maintained equally (flexible) in memory, by the matching software.

Did someone mix up the 'M' and 'm' time format markers? The month is 09 at the moment, and it will stay that way for a couple of weeks...

(Btw: I'm not a T-Clock user, so can't verify this myself)

If you have SC to open the built-in image editor by selecting 'Show Main Form' on the 'Interface Options' preferences page, the cursor is initially placed in the (file)name input field. Would that work for you?

I dunno if it even counts as software - it's just javascript/NODE.JS lol

-Stephen66515 (August 28, 2020, 06:06 PM)

Well, independent of what anyone's opinion is of js code, it's still code, so it should be counted in.

The quality also isn't a measure of qualification , it's about the effort and willingness to participate in NANY
