N.A.N.Y. 2010 / Cliptrap from skwire: suggestion

« on: February 20, 2012, 04:41 AM »

hello!

Cliptrap is an amazinig software that has saved me numerous hours, but is there a way to add keyboard shortcuts for its operation?

for example to use ctrl+g to copy a selected text (select text, click ctrl+g, select text, click ctrl+g, etc multiple times, in order to aggregate text) and then use another hotkey eg. ctrl+h to paste the text gathered with the previous procedure?

ofcourse, the ctrl+h will reset the aggregation, and also, it shouldn't interfere with normal clipboard (the one that works with ctrl+c and ctrl+v)

thanks!

General Software Discussion / numerical input

« on: February 08, 2012, 04:13 AM »

hello!

do you have any innovative idea for easy, fast, accurate numerical data input? ie. to input numbers in a pc

a numpad can be very efficient for people that have learned to use it very well, but I think there might be other ways to insert numbers, like gestures, voice, etc

the fact that numerical data is more limited than general text data, gives the opportunity to overcome the difficulties of text input, for example: speech recognition for words is very troublesome, but in numerical input, we have only 10 digits to input, so it may be much more convenient

anyway, any innovative idea?

thanks!

« on: January 24, 2012, 06:43 AM »

hello!

my needs for easy desktop navigation are these:

TASKBAR:
1) click or hover over taskbar button that is not pressed -> activate that window (but it should work after the cursor has moved out that active taskbar button area and then moved in again)
2) click or hover over taskbar button that is pressed -> activate the previously active window
3) click or hover over empty area in taskbar when at least one window is active -> show desktop
4) click or hover over empty area in taskbar when no window is active -> raise all the previously raised windows and activate the previously active window
5) right click on taskbar button -> close window
6) middle click or ctrl right click on taskbar button -> show window context menu

TITLEBAR:
1) right click on title bar -> close window
2) left click on title bar (without holding it and dragging it) -> minimize window
3) middle click on title bar -> send window to tray

WINDOWS:
1) hover over window area of a window that is not active -> activate window
2) add permanently "always on top" buttons in all windows and options per application, like "close to tray", "minimize to tray", "always start maximized", "start with specific window size", "start minimized or in the background" etc

all the above must be in an exe or ahk that is portable in any pc
