Yep, great little app. Been using it for a while. Too bad the forum got spammed and shut down. Here's a link to more PockteModness:

And you might want to go with GimpShop- The gimp but hacked so it looks and behaves more like PhotoShop.

I used to work at a shop where the head IT guys were on two ends of the spectrum- one was a Perl dev and so any small solution that was needed he whipped up in Perl and passed it around. Done.
The other guy was the model case for just enough piracy. He was constantly on the hunt for the latest and greatest app for any given task, and frequently used cracks as trialware. Get it? If it worked, and worked well, he had the "proof in the pudding" (no missing functions, disabled saves, etc.) for the financial department to shell out the cash for a legit copy of said killer app. If not, he would uninstall and never be heard from again. Done.

General Software Discussion / Re: Finally, a robust keyboard shortcut app!

rjbull:
After all, looking at AHK's help file is overwhelming for a newbie.
Yes if you went from start to finish, but I LEARNED Autohotkey from the help file. I simply typed what I thought I might need in the search box and read into the topics that came up. Deciphering the Powerpro scripting tutorial gives me a headache. I also agree that AutoHotkey is so much more than hotkeys, like PowerPro is so much more than buttons. Speaking of PowerPro...
You mean, its an application suited to people with advanced degrees in mathematics, who make their living as system analysts, and play chess as a hobby...
No, just those possessing bullheaded persistence. I'm as dumb as your average American, and I figured out how to put PowerPro to pretty good use.
;)


p.s. because I can't afford 30 bucks for a fancy text editor, I use SciTe.

You can do something like it with PowerPro, which offers buttons with tooltips rather than a menu as such, but PowerPro is just too hard for most people.
hehe I use Autohotkey AND powerpro and the only hotkeys I have programmed are ctrl-shift-c to center the active application and ctrl-shift-space to kill the active application. Why? because they fit my left hand, aren't used by anything else and my right hand is (inefficiently, I know) at the mouse 50% of the time. The other hotkeys I use most often are the system ones for cut, copy, paste.
I don't agree that PowerPro is hard, just complex. You must learn what it CAN do, then HOW to do it, then figure out WHAT you WANT it to do. This takes Patience and Perseverance which also takes Time. These things, taken as a group, are lacking for most people. After that, PowerPro is (almost) everything I need. I use Autohotkey because I quite dislike the PowerPro scripting, and I can compile into .exe's and impress my boss!

Speaking of Un*x how about vi? Hotkeys are the only way it even looks like your using a text editor! And how about Rat Poison for a X window manager? No mouse! (bad graphics, yes, but the  idea is solid.)

Aaah... See, that is what I was looking for. Seems there IS a script inside the flash file that dumps commands to the Javascript engine?
Neat trick, but now to do something useful with it...

Housetier: Yes, of course, with Javascript off it won't work. I assume the behavior would be the same with Java on if you're using Firefox. Which means I can watch Mr. Gusto at home on my Slackware box... If I wanted. (neat trick, but it's not worth much more...)

You can also install a PostScript printer on the "File:" port and output .ps files.

No, see how he pokes the side of the window and all? It's supposed to move the window he's in. Like when he pokes in an upward motion, the window inches up a bit every time his finger hits the top. And when he punches the screen, the window resizes and pops back. It doesn't work on my NT4 station running FireFox, it kinda works in Opera, and it works fully with Firefox on XP. Maybe I could record it in Wink...

This is kinda neat, but... How does he do that? Synchronized flash/java? Seems to only work on XP and allow new windows to be resized.
