Assistant/2 Released
(the successor of ExtendedClipboard/2)
Assistant/2 (the successor
of Extended Clipboard/2) just released. It's a WPS extension which is designed to
make work with OS/2 more comfortable in various ways.It can now be downloaded from
ftp.bmtmicro.com/bmtmicro/assist10.zip .
Extended Clipboard
EClip offers new and improved functions to use the clipboard
more efficiently. Because extensive changing between source and destination is no
longer required, the clipboard becomes an even more universal aid. With
EClip it is possible to copy all needed clips into the clipboard first and paste
them into the destination application later.
Drag&Drop
With Assistant/2 you can Drag&Drop pieces of text from
one application to another. This works with almost every PM-application which supports
the clipboard as well as with windowed VIOs. If you drop a piece of text on the
desktop,
Assistant/2 will create a clip object that is compatible with Extended Clipboard.
If the dragged text is an URL it can create a URL object.
Macros
Keyboard and mouse events can be recorded with the integrated
macro recorder. It is also possible to write a macro with any text editor or to
edit an already recorded macro. Since macros are special text clips, everything
that you can do with text clips is applicable to macros as well. Especially the
hotkeys make macros a very powerful feature. Dynamic macros can be used to generate
macros on runtime. So it is possible to insert the current date into
your application or to change the case of selected letters! Other macros included:
Open text as URL, add text to file.
Hotkeys and Hottext
You can assign a hotkey or a sequence of keys (hottext) to
clips and macros. If you need a certain clip frequently, assign a hotkey (hottext)
to it. The clip will be pasted and macros will be played everytime you press the
hotkey in a PM application. The mousebuttons and Win keys can be used as hotkeys,
too.
Popup Menus
Create flexibly configurable popup menus which are accessable
from almost every PM application by hotkey (mouse button). The structure of the
menu is read from the folder you have chosen.
English and German versions are included and registrations for Extended Clipboard/2
are valid for Assistant/2 as well!
