[OffTopic] is that win+i or win+L  win+i googles nothing so I think it's lock keyboard or lock something? (how do you unlock ) [/OffTopic]

-tomos (July 02, 2008, 01:02 PM)

It's Win+L, for lock... It then displays a dialog to insert password (or use the fingerprint sensor, if you have one )

  Actually, i know that because the same thing already happened to me. I inadvertedly added too many files to the recycle bin and then it wouldn't open anymore, and ended up having to use the raw view do delete a few files

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Middle click without using scrollwheel button

« Last post by jgpaiva on July 02, 2008, 04:35 AM »

The mouse hook monitors mouse clicks for the purpose of activating mouse hotkeys and facilitating hotstrings. It is not supported under Windows 95/98/Me because those operating systems require a different type of hook that must reside in a DLL file.

-ahk help file

Ok, but i tried anyways. Here's the code:

[Select]

; Author:         jgpaiva
;
; Script Function: replace double-right click by middle click
;

#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.


rbutton::
keywait,rbutton,T0.1
if(errorlevel != 0){
Send,{rbutton down}
keywait,rbutton
Send,{rbutton up}
return
}
keywait,rbutton,D T0.1
if(errorlevel = 0)
Send,{mbutton}
else
Send,{rbutton}
return

f11::exitapp

I recommend you keep that last line, so that you can close the script by pressing F11, in case it goes wrong (and takes your right-click away). It should work well (at least, it does here).
To modify the timeout for the double-click, change the "0.1" to something larger or smaller.

ps: This is actually fun to play with!

How about an ahk script to replace ctrl + rightClick by middle mouse button?
Another option would be using double-rightclick, so you could leave it always enabled.

From what I understand, you are looking at the raw view of the recycle bin. (are you using xyplorer?)
All the files present there, can be found on the recycle bin (in a much more interesting form ).
If you remove the files from recycle bin, they disappear from the Recycler folder.

Thanks for the help jgpaiva  .

(Still hoping that mouser can make an automatic space after the auto-complete though!  )

-CatamountJack (July 01, 2008, 08:14 PM)

You're welcome!
I also agree with adding a space.
Actually, i think this autocomplete needs a global rethinking, because it doesn't really cope well with regular expressions :S

This might not belong in the coding snacks section and if not I'm sorry. I guess I'm just exited that I finally got around to learning this stuff.

-alivingspirit (July 01, 2008, 04:33 PM)

No problem! Actually, if you'd like to get some more constructive criticism, the developer's section might be more suited, and the c++ experts might give you a hand. (if you'd like, i can move it there, just pm me).

I like the game!

great strategy for gameplay

Interestingly, 5 atempts is exactly one atempt short of the required number to always win this game Using Binary Search, you can always end up with 2 numbers to choose (in the worst case scenario )

Keep it up, maybe we'll get a new coding snacks author

« Last post by jgpaiva on July 01, 2008, 01:25 PM »

Sorry, i really didn't express myself correctly. I meant that you move on "enable.bat" out of the folder, if you're not using it directly (except through aliases) anyway.
Does increasing the score of the alias fix the problem?

wep: publishing the source allong with the programs on your main page has 2 advantages:
  1 - people will trust your programs (more) because they can compile them themselves
  2 - can serve as a learning ground for others

About gridmove.. I think you just described what gridmove does, i can't understand what you're asking for..

CatamountJack: I think the only problem is that your "enable" script is in the directories farr search. I suppose you never want to launch the bat file directly, so, just remove it from the "c:\shortcuts" and you should be fine

This may be a very good candidate for something you would want to display in the farr window as soon as farr is shown, instead of the default list of last programs launched by far.  you can do this if you want by going to the hotkeys configuration in far and either modifying the hotkey trigger of choice (Break key) or adding a new one, and specifying mru as the text for the search edit box.

Ok.. The mru for acrobat is a bit different.. It's located under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\8.0\AVGeneral\cRecentFiles. But the problem is that it stores the entries under keys named c# (where # is a number), and then those have values named "tDIText" that store the path.
Oh, and the path looks like this: "/D/Ist/_Current/CM/Apresentação/18-automatic-partitioning.pdf" (which is even more stupid ).
Would it be possible to get this to work for acrobat?
If not, no biggie

I just had a brilliant idea!!

People: when you post a link to an app, please post the link for its .dcupdate file too. Then, we can click it, and install if from dcupdater, which is much nicer than unpacking the .zip file into the farr directory

The good advantage about this, is that you don't have to update the .dcupdate file, because who downloads it will always chose to "install latest version from the web"
