StrokeIt
I discovered this tool yesterday while reading PC World. Thank-you. It is going to be a nice productivity enhancer and time saver.
For my first project, I tackled something that has always given me fits. I use two similar programs extensively for brainstorming and planning and their user interfaces are similar, but different enough to make moving from one to the other confusing. Using StrokeIt I was able to assign the same stroke to similar functions in the two programs. I also grouped similar functions to similar types of strokes, so I think they are easy to learn. The two programs are MindManager ([url=http://www.mindjet.com]http://www.mindjet.com[/url]) and Inspiration ([url=http://www.inspiration.com]http://www.inspiration.com[/url] ). I've included the action definitions I created below. I hope that someone finds them useful. Thanks, Dale Hohm DaleNoSpamHohm@msn.com (Note: to use the Check action in the file below, you need to add the string '(check)' as a shortcut for the checkmark graphic in Format->Task Planning... This definition also includes a gester definition of 'Check' that looks like a checkmark -- you may want to retrain it) -------- Start MindManager V010.sxp ------- <VERSION>StrokeIt .9.1</VERSION> <APP name="MindManager"> exec=MindMan.exe Add Child {
