Re: Alt + Space keystrokes don't work on cmd.exe - 13 years agoControl+V has never worked for me in the command prompt, that has nothing to do with StrokeIt. However, I have just found 7Plus, which has many features, one of which is just that, making Control+V paste in command prompt. I have just tested it on XP, and it works. In order to combine it with StrokeIt, I had to make a special action for the application Command Prompt, because it wouldn't wby Cerberus - StrokeIt Bugs Re: Auto name new commands? - 13 years agoI think everyone will agree that this would be an improvement. What would be even more useful, is if the name of the assigned gesture would be automatically visible after the name of the action (now you need to type it yourself for every action). And it would be very helpful if you could sort actions by gesture! Now I actually do a text search in the .cfg actions file in order to find out what I aby Cerberus - Improvement Requests Re: Loading strings problem - 13 years agoDone! I haven't seen Jeff (StrokeIt's maker) here for several months; let's hope he returns. I don't know whether you can see this: http://www.tcbmi.com/strokeit/bugs/view.php?id=20by Cerberus - StrokeIt Bugs Re: Windows 7 Aero Bug - 13 years agoThat is good to know! I have seen similar issues come up on this forum on a regular basis, I think.by Cerberus - StrokeIt Bugs Re: Loading strings problem - 13 years agoI really have don't know what is causing this. I have had weird errors on XP Pro 32-bits SP 3 too. They may not be related at all. Here are a few things that may or may not be relevant: I once had weird problems with my actions being partly scrambled up, resulting in weird behaviour from time to time. I would then see weird symbols at certain places in my actions list, I think they were paby Cerberus - StrokeIt Bugs Re: Please add possibility of making gestures with any mouse button, not only Right or Left button (+) - 13 years ago@Gemisigo: Thank you for liking it! It could be useful in some contexts. You could also have AHK carry out a different command based on the Control that the cursor is at, such as a form field or a menu bar or a text editing field of an application. I think you'd use the Getcontrol command for that (the AHK help file will explain how to use that). You can find out the name of the control by usby Cerberus - Improvement Requests Re: Please add possibility of making gestures with any mouse button, not only Right or Left button (+) - 13 years ago@Rivendell: Hmm, that is strange. I have just disabled my normal AHK scripts and made a new file with only this code: it works for me (in Firefox). You might check these points: 1. If you have used the exact same code, there is the chance that control+shift+tab does nothing for your specific browser, or that the Browser_Back command doesn't work (for me, that only works when I have the proby Cerberus - Improvement Requests Re: Missing gestures ? - 13 years agoI see you have already solved this. Welcome to StrokeIt! I am glad new people keep discovering it.by Cerberus - StrokeIt Bugs Re: show how to draw built-in gestures - 13 years agoYou're absolutely right. The interface could use some improvement.by Cerberus - Improvement Requests Re: Updated Translations Needed - 13 years agoI wish I knew. I have a feeling that Jeff is off again for a while... but it is good to know that StrokeIt is used in Turkey too!by Cerberus - General Re: Please add possibility of making gestures with any mouse button, not only Right or Left button (+) - 13 years agoI am on XP Pro and I must say StrokeIt + AHK is the best combination I have ever used. I can highly recommend it. AHK is tiny, and easy to program. For example, I am using AHK to have StrokeIt carry out different actions depending on where on the screen the gesture is made. I only need a simple code like this for it: ^!+r:: MouseGetPos, xpos, ypos If (ypos < 70) SendInput ^+{Tab} elseby Cerberus - Improvement Requests Re: [Hold LButton, Click RButton] - 13 years agoCan Opera pick up the rocker gestures while StrokeIt is monitoring the right mouse button? I haven't tested. By the way, I think the OP was looking to do this in Chrome.by Cerberus - Improvement Requests Re: Please add possibility of making gestures with any mouse button, not only Right or Left button (+) - 13 years agoThat would be great indeed. Especially if you could left-drag a file into different gestures to do different things with it.by Cerberus - Improvement Requests Re: Application recognition under Citrix / special keys - 13 years agoA suggestion: you could use Autohotkey do do the work. It is usually more reliable than SrokeIt, so it would be worth a try. Just let SI send a hotkey, then have AHK pick it up and carry out the desired commands.by Cerberus - StrokeIt Actions Re: Why isn't StrokeIt more popular? - 13 years agoYeah, I recognize the problem. I actually installed Fire Gestures in a female friend's Firefox, and she seemed to like it; but she never got to using it afterwards, so perhaps her initial interest was mere politeness after all. I do have another female friend in whose Firefox I installed Easy Drag to Go, which allows her to open a link in a new foreground tab by dragging it up with the lefby Cerberus - General Re: Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all StrokeIt users - 13 years agoMerry Christas to you too, Leo, and to all other strokers! (I still wonder whether Jeff didn't make up the name of the program when he was drunk.) Yesterday, a friend and I were working on my PC, and I explained to her how to open programs and do all kinds of stuff with gestures. She actually asked "can I do that on my own PC too?", so who knows it might spread.by Cerberus - General Re: Total Commander, middle mouse button - 13 years agoI don't think that is possible with just StrokeIt. You could set Right Mouse Button + Middle Button to do Control Click, though: - Have the right mouse button as your standard gesture-triggering button in the preferences menu - Make an action that gets triggered by MButton - Add a command to it: Hotkey, control click; you do need the Emulate Mouse plugin for that, though. You can find theby Cerberus - StrokeIt Actions Re: Max/Restore the dialog boxes - 13 years agoPerhaps this is not what you need, but there are programs that automatically make the save dialogue boxes larger in Windows. I am using OpenWide, and Flashfolder, which is awesome for other reasons too.by Cerberus - Improvement Requests Re: Keystroke issue - 13 years agoWarnock, I am glad that you discovered the synergy between SI and AHK, which is the best ever! They are two of my favourite programs too. I have created about 20 AHK supplements to SI actions, whenever SI's results were too unreliable. It often is in Firefox for me, when Firefox is bogged down and consuming 1.5 GB of memory. Incidentally, you can use AHK in such a way as to make a SI gestureby Cerberus - StrokeIt Bugs Re: Keystroke issue - 13 years agoGemi, yes, that sounds the way I expected it to be. You have used AHK, you are even well versed in it (making a GUI is not easy imo); and yet you do not seem to be using it a lot. Perhaps that is because you also know other scripting languages, so that you do not need AHK so much. For me, only AHK is simple enough, so I use it for a lot of things. For example, I made a script yesterday to use theby Cerberus - StrokeIt Bugs Re: Keystroke issue - 13 years agoYes I have never seen this particular error either. But I have seen other commands that didn't work as well as I expected. AHK usually works very well. I wish Jeff would integrate AHK into SI, that would be cool! But using them together is fine too. By the way, gemi, perhaps I have asked this before, but do you use AHK? Or AutoIt? Something else? I think AutoIt must be the more robust one, buby Cerberus - StrokeIt Bugs Re: Keystroke issue - 13 years agoWhat you could try is setting several commands for one action, separated by Delays: QuoteKeystroke _ Delay 50 ms Keystroke c Delay 50 ms Keystroke o ... etc. It will slow the action down, but it should make it more reliable. You could experiment with delay times. As an alternative, you could use an Autohotkey script, which is in my experience much more reliable than StrokeIt commands. Yby Cerberus - StrokeIt Bugs Re: Adobe Reader X, Win7 - 13 years agoPerhaps Reader steals the keyboard hook? You could try making sure that Strokeit is run before Reader, or the other way around - no idea whether that would work, though.by Cerberus - General Re: Why isn't StrokeIt more popular? - 13 years agoIt is still not too late for that... the interface could be a tiny bit more user friendly, though: a bit more like other mouse gesture programs, which are otherwise inferior.by Cerberus - General Re: windows 7 alt problem - 13 years agoHmm this is interesting. Do keep us posted about the success of all your methods, guys!by Cerberus - StrokeIt Bugs Re: windows 7 alt problem - 13 years agoUV, what you do is this. 0. Set Strokeit to win-shift-c instead of alt-F4. 1. Google, download, and install Autohotkey. 2. Open Notepad or any plain text editor, and paste the code (#+c::!F4) I gave into a new Notepad document (leave out the brackets). Note that # Is win, ^ is control, + is shift, ! is alt; the :: is what creates the hotkey conversion. 3. Save the document as a file (name doesby Cerberus - StrokeIt Bugs Re: windows 7 alt problem - 13 years agoHmm so it seems any modifying key in SI can get stuck. Teamyoyo, you said you'd tried setting AHK to release alt after an alt press; I seem to remember that AHK doesn't work too well when you want it to handle a certain key upon triggering that same key (alt triggers alt release); however, perhaps it is worth a try to have SI carry out Win+C, then have AHK convert this Win+C into Alt+F4,by Cerberus - StrokeIt Bugs Re: windows 7 alt problem - 13 years agoHmm this seems to be a complicated issue. I forgot, but I suddenly remembered that I used to have his issue on XP Pro SP 2 too! I had no idea what was the culprit, I don't think I ever narrowed it down to SI. However, I think I have seen this issue perhaps only once a month or so during the last couple of years; perhaps SP 3 fixed it for the most part, or SI's new versions fixed it for Xby Cerberus - StrokeIt Bugs Re: windows 7 alt problem - 13 years agoHmm that is pretty annoying. I have no solution. At least it would be useful to know whenever alt is pressed down. I have this Autohotkey script that will show a tooltip "Alt" next to the cursor whenever alt is pressed down: #Persistent SetTimer, AltKeyTimer, 20 return AltKeyTimer: GetKeyState, AltState, Alt if AltState = D { MouseGetPos, Px, Py ToolTip, Alt, Px+30,by Cerberus - StrokeIt Bugs |
