SkipTo Updated…Again…
by Nick on Jul.10, 2007, under Site
Ladies and gents, your attention please. (And yes, I realize a non-computer-related post is well overdue…but…)
In the boredom that has ensued over the past week, I’ve managed to implement a number of new features into SkipTo, including the beginnings of a more configurable interface. Pretty soon, you’ll be able to swap out a lot more than just the icons for shortcuts. ;) You’ll notice the hard work I’ve put in in the build count too; this is build 34.
In summary, the new features:
- Tab-key autocomplete/cycling through shortcuts. This also fixes a bug in the previous release where SkipTo died when you pressed Tab. (My fault, I should have checked that before I released it. Ah well, the update’s here.)
- Slightly modified preferences pane with some new options, including controlling the tab key and the shortcut count. (Note that these require a restart, as SkipTo only checks these settings at startup. This may be changed, but it’s far safer to save and restart. At least, I think so.) You’ll also notice some preliminary options added regarding the keyboard…these are disabled as I’m still working on implementing them…but soon you can use more or less than just Alt+Spacebar. I hope.
- The shortcut count reminds you of special shortcuts when it is set to ‘Always on’. (No, the reminder doesn’t appear in either of the other two modes because you can’t Tab to them…they’re built-in, and with the exception of the About box, I feel that you should type the complete word as additional confirmation of your action.)
What are you waiting for?
Download it! (The source code for this build has not been uploaded, and remains from the previous version.)
