Post New Requests Here / Re: bigger screen area than monitor size - with quick scroll features
« Last post by jgpaiva on February 15, 2008, 10:49 AM »
Updated again, check above post for the new version.

Now i'm thinking: I think the best way to avoid the problem of focusing windows off screen is to make the screen move to them. Thus, next thing i'm going to try is something like "keep the focused window on screen". This means: then you focus a window that isn't on screen (may it be by selecting it from the taskbar or with alt+tab), the screen is moved to make that window appear. (might get annoying, i think.. Let's give it a try)

Now that i'm playing around with this, i think a "move everything but active window" feature is needed. (to organize the windows on screen)

[edit] and a way to limit the screen area, to make it easier to size windows [/edit]

That's true, nudone.. Probaby ctrl+drag isn't a good idea.

Do you know anything that uses win+drag?
I like your idea about using backslash, maybe that's a good solution.

Ok, i just updated it so that it now uses ctrl+Lbutton drag, it's way more intuitive.

About kmplayer: that program might be in the exceptions (which i imported directly from gridmove ;) ). Could you please tell me what's its window class?

About restricting it to horizontal/vertical movement... I think that makes sense and shouldn't be very hard to do. Could you please just play around a bit more with this version to see what comes to mind?

I'm thinking about a few things: Someone talks to you on MSN and the window is out of the screen. What should happen? I think there are 2 options when you move the focus to that window:
- the window is moved to the screen
- the screen is moved to the window

Which one do you think is better?

I'm also thinking this should have some kind of "snap window" to screen when moving, my windows get all chopped of for a few pixels :)

PS: man.. this is a fun idea! How come is it always you who comes up with the best stuff? :P (i believe it's already the second time i say this ;))

Oh man, i think you'll love this one! :)

This is just a mockup, to see if ahk could support it. Apparently, it works pretty well.

Just press F8 and move the mouse. Press F8 again to stop ;)

unless you have gridmove or something else that allows you to move windows through keyboard installed, i don't recommend you try this software! :)
[edit]
updated: move with ctrl+lbutton. Makes things way cooler :D
updated: added screen contraints: the virtual screen is now 9 times larger than the "real" screen. (think like this: middle one, and 8 around it). Can be customized to something else.
updated: added "keep active window on screen" feature. Works like this: when you alt+tab/select a window that isn't completelly on screen, it moves there. If you have just moved, it waits 5 seconds for you to focus another window and then it'll move the screen back to the focused window (which might be offscreen).
updated: fixed an error in "keep active window on screen"
updated: removed the "anoyingness" of the "keep active(etc)" feature
updated: added "jump one screen" feature
updated: removed "jump one screen" "feature", was driving me nuts. Added "multiplier" feature
updated: it doesn't ignore the taskbar placement anymore
updated: added the "move the screen but keep the window under the mouse in place" feature. just press windows key and drag with the right mouse button. This is a very useful feature for moving windows around.

Ok, just gave it a go, and... I don't quite like it, it isn't really "fuild".

It did give me an idea, though.
I was thinking about moving the whole desktop, but we could only move the windows itself like winscroll does. Thus, it'd make this get in the reach of an ahk script :) I'm sensing it'd be potentially destructible too, though (think loosing windows offscreen).

I'll give it a go, i should have something to play with in a few hours ;)

This is definitelly a great idea, and i'd love to try it out.

I think it goes a bit against the concept of windows' explorer, probably it'd have to be a whole shell rather than an app to run on explorer.

I know there are quite a few "3d desktops" out there, this'd probably be similar.

I know it's free, but why go through the trouble of having your certificate signed by cacert, when it still won't get you rid of the anoying browser warnings?

Tomos: yep, i was about to wait because his is so much more complete. But then you specified a hotkey and a format, and that makes things sooo much easier ;)

I'm wondering if this solved jpar5's problem.

Why cacert, housetier?
From what i understand, it doesn't have any root certificate sign, and isn't included with browsers, thus it is as useful has having a certificate that isn't signed by a CA..

« Last post by jgpaiva on February 14, 2008, 01:36 PM »
Following your indications, Tomos..
Here's PasteDate.ahk:

[Select]
; Author: jgpaiva
;
; Script Function:
; Send the current date to the active window
;

#NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.

!D::
  FormatTime,CurrentTime,%A_Now%,yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss
  tempClipboard := clipboard
  clipboard := CurrentTime
  Send,^v
  clipboard := tempClipboard
  return

It's really simple to change the format, just change the stuff after the last comma on this line:
[Select]
FormatTime,CurrentTime,%A_Now%,yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss

Allen made the perfect solution for this, in the ahk programming school section.

Maybe he could post it here? :)

Very interesting.. And it doesn't look like it follows mouser's theory about companies buying each other.

I think virtualbox is already a decent player in the virtualization field, hopefully this increase in competition will improve their development! :)

Thanks for the discount, Erwin!

Living Room / Re: Would anyone want a free DonationCoder.com bumper sticker?
« Last post by jgpaiva on February 14, 2008, 08:25 AM »
This might just happen in my country, but i'm guessing that if you use a magnetic bumper sticker, it'd get stolen VERY fast.

I think the best option would be the ones for the inside of the window.

I think a dedicated program for that might be better...

What's the date format you'd like to use and the key combo?

as to versioninfo.xml
if you take a look here https://www.donation...ex.php?topic=10105.0 there you also have root ;) But I will correct it :)
-czechboy (February 14, 2008, 07:34 AM)
Oh, then mouser might have updated it. That's better, correctly formed XML are always preferrable.

Ok, then after you change it, tell us how it worked out ;)
