What follows is a little program I wrote to make my life easier. Not that
I *hate* menus, you understand, I kinda like them; but if I'm using the
mouse for other things, I don't want to have to keep moving it up to the
top over and over and over again. Now Intuition allows you to avoid this
using keyboard equivalents...but only if the guy writing the program thought
to include them, and used the same ones *you* would have.
Anyway, it's in my c: directory now.

XADD - create keyboard shortcuts where no keyboard shortcuts have gone before.
X
XCopyright ((c)) 1987, John Russell
X
X This is a small Intuition hack, which I'm surprised not to have seen
Xanywhere before. It lets you take other people's menus, and customize them
X(at least with regards to keyboard equivalents, ie right-Amiga + <key>
Xcombinations). The idea was brought into my consciousness when I saw how
XMWB let you circumvent the assumptions made by other programmers in a
Xtransparent way, although it had probably been fermenting back there for a
Xwhile :-).
X
XSyntax:
Xadd <windowname> <menunumber> <itemnumber> [ <sub-item number> ] <key>
X
XWindowname is the name of the window (no matter what screen it is on) to
Xwhich the menu you want to alter is attached. I ran into hassles with
Xlong window titles and those with spaces, so you only need specify the
Xfirst word (eg VT100 instead of VT100 (2.4 861214... etc). Note that names
X*are* case sensitive.
X
XAll numbers are from 1 upwards, so "add window 1 1 X" is the upper-left-hand
Xposition in the menu list.
X
XIf you have 5 parameters it assumes the 4th is the position of a sub-item,
Xnot the shortcut itself. Otherwise, the 2nd and 3rd supply the position info
Xand the 4th is the key to use.
X
XThe shortcut can be specified as upper or lower case; they are treated the
Xsame. Note that there is nothing to prevent you from creating duplicate
Xshortcuts. Since I didn't want to get over-fancy, the size of the menu
Xhitbox is unaltered and this may cause some (non-harmful) overlapping.
X--------------
X
XSample uses -
X
XInstall this file as s:loadwb (instead of "loadwb", "execute loadwb")
X
Xaddbuffers df0: 15
Xloadwb
Xwait 4 ;wait for disk activity to finish
Xadd Workbench 1 1 O
Xadd Workbench 1 2 C
Xadd Workbench 1 3 D
Xadd Workbench 1 4 R
Xadd Workbench 1 5 I
Xadd Workbench 1 6 K ;for kill
Xadd Workbench 2 1 E
Xadd Workbench 2 2 F ;for format
Xadd Workbench 3 4 S
Xadd Workbench 3 5 V
X
XIf you use VT100 and don't have a compiler, you might want to install
Xs:vt100 ("run vt100", then "execute vt100")
X
Xaddbuffers df0: 15 ;if none added before
Xadd VT100 1 1 C
Xadd VT100 1 2 A
Xadd VT100 2 1 1 L ;I only use 3/1200 baud
Xadd VT100 2 1 2 H
Xadd VT100 2 1 3 \ ;to avoid duplicates
X
X--------------
XBugs/problems:
X
XUsing 0 or negative numbers for menu positions is *not* recommended.
XBefore I added the checks for end-of-menu, I would experience strange
Xscreen displays trying to access menu # 1000, etc. even though it was just
Xde-referencing the pointers. Anyone know why?
X
XPrograms with a space as the first character in the window title (eg
XPageSetter) need to be filezapped (change the space to, say, a _).
X
XPrograms that re-use parts of the menu structure (eg Ahost); well, it doesn't
Xhurt, but you can only specify 1 shortcut which shows up several times.
X
XPrograms that disable menu operations at various times (eg DPaint and
XWorkbench) need to be taken case-by-case. I was disappointed about DPaint,
Xalthough menu operations *are* allowed once the mouse is above the drawing
Xarea. For Workbench, just allow disk activity to cease before using add.
X
XThis was originally interactive, and I just hacked it into "expert" mode
Xat someone's request. If I ever get more than 10 minutes at a time with it,
XI'll combine the two, and hopefully get to use some of the neato features
Xlike ItemAddress and the MenuNumber macro. Be warned, I fully intend to steal
Xmenus away from programs and let you select them in *mine*!
X
XI can't accept responsibility for any damages that may occur as a result
Xof using this program (although I highly doubt any will happen).
X--------------
XThis program is made available as shareware. Anyone may give it to anyone,
Xbut not impose any conditions in doing so. If you feel that this program
Xhas been worth $5 or so to you, you might want to send a small donation to:

X5 Alderdice Place
XSt. John's, NF, Canada
XA1B 2P8
X
XIf I get favourable response, I may expand the idea into a general screen/
Xwindow/menu management program, allowing you to customize the Intuition-based
Xfeatures of other people's programs. Hmmm, I wonder what kind of
Xcopyright conundrums *that* might create? "But officer, the spreadsheet I
Xwrote has *none* of these filthy messages in it..."

You need to Forbid() and Permit() around your outer loop. If you're running add with nothing else going on, not having this won't cause any problems. But I tend to start vt100 (with run), and then go do other things. If those other things open new windows/screens while add is walking the list, badness can happen... <mike -- Here's a song about absolutely nothing.

Here is a leaner & meaner version of ADD, and a new utility, UNTIL.
Add is now smaller, works with any arrangement of screens, and allows you to
delete shortcuts as well as add them. Forbid() and Permit() are used around
the delicate sections.
Eg: add VT100 1 1 C ;create new shortcut
add VT100 2 1 3 -kill ;get rid of an existing one
As before, only the first word of the window name need be specified.
Until may turn out to have more uses than I envisioned. I intended to use it
in the context of waiting for a run task to finish loading before adding
keyboard shortcuts, as opposed to having to "wait" some small number of seconds;
waiting can get you into trouble if you have to swap disks, etc.
It also seems to solve (at least for stuff that opens windows) the problem of
excessive disk seeking when running many tasks; ideally it should be run out
of ram: to avoid *any* clashing whatsoever.
Eg: run df1:vt100 ;start task _loading_
until VT100 60 -m ;wait until window named VT100 appears _and sets a
;menustrip_ or 60 seconds, whichever comes first
addbuffers df0: 20
add VT100 1 1 C ;now do as many adds as you want
Eg: run clock
until Clock 30 ;wait for "Clock" window to appear or 30 seconds.
;we don't care about the menu here
run DME ;nice to have an editor always loaded
until DME 45 ;again no menu
run vt100 ;etc. Although all tasks are independent, we don't
;load the next until the current one is started

I was kind of leery about posting the only-slightly-modified source to add again, and if you have the source to add, then the source to until becomes kind of redundant. And add.doc - I just got to editing it and it seems to have grown into 100+ lines! Geez, a long posting by itself. To tell you the truth, I was more worried about responses saying "my grandmother had the same idea the second day I had my Amiga home...and she hand-coded it in assembler to make it more challenging!" :-) There are a million different things you can do using the same basic loop (for all screens, for all windows in each screen {..........} ). Someday I hope to have done all of them; but I gotta warn ya, ya seen one of these sources, ya seen them all! Exception #1: Expose, which had a major bug as posted, and major limitations also. These are fixed and I will post today or tomorrow source and executable. Exception #2: Menutext (it has a shorter name on my disk) & Restore, whose method of execution may not be immediately obvious from add.c, until.c, and expose.c. But I want to include a lot of extra features...aw, what the heck, they work as is so I will post them too and see what kind of feedback I get. The rest of this posting is ADD.C, ADD.DOC, and UNTIL.C. ADD.C (final): /* * ADD (add keyboard shortcuts to menus) * * Copyright ((c)) 1987, John Russell * This program is freely redistributable.

Copyright ((c)) 1987, John Russell This is a small Intuition hack, which I'm surprised not to have seen anywhere before. It lets you take other people's menus, and customize them (at least with regards to keyboard equivalents, ie right-Amiga + <key> combinations). The idea was brought into my consciousness when I saw how MWB let you circumvent the assumptions made by other programmers in a transparent way, although it had probably been fermenting back there for a while :-). Syntax: add <windowname> <menunumber> <itemnumber> [ <sub-item number> ] <key | "-kill"> Windowname is the name of the window (no matter what screen it is on) to which the menu you want to alter is attached. I ran into hassles with long window titles and those with spaces, so you only need specify the first word (eg VT100 instead of VT100 (2.4 861214... etc). Note that names *are* case sensitive. All numbers are from 1 upwards, so "add window 1 1 X" is the upper-left-hand position in the menu list. If you have 5 parameters it assumes the 4th is the position of a sub-item, not the shortcut itself. Otherwise, the 2nd and 3rd supply the position info and the 4th is the key to use. The shortcut can be specified as upper or lower case; they are treated the same. Note that there is nothing to prevent you from creating duplicate shortcuts. Since I didn't want to get over-fancy, the size of the menu hitbox is unaltered and this may cause some (non-harmful) overlapping. The "-kill" option is position-dependent (it must go last) and just turns off an existing shortcut. -------------- Sample uses - Install this file as s:loadwb (instead of "loadwb", "execute loadwb") loadwb until Workbench 60 -m ; wait until window opens and sets menu (also posted) addbuffers df0: 15 add Workbench 1 1 O add Workbench 1 2 C add Workbench 1 3 D add Workbench 1 4 R add Workbench 1 5 I add Workbench 1 6 K ;for kill add Workbench 2 1 E add Workbench 2 2 F ;for format add Workbench 3 4 S add Workbench 3 5 V If you use VT100 and don't have a compiler, you might want to install s:vt100 ("run vt100", then "execute vt100") until VT100 60 -m ;wait 'til VT100 opens window, sets menu strip addbuffers df0: 15 ;if none added before add VT100 1 1 C add VT100 1 2 A add VT100 2 1 1 L ;I only use 3/1200 baud add VT100 2 1 2 H add VT100 2 1 3 -kill ;because this one was originally "H" -------------- Bugs/problems: Using 0 or negative numbers for menu positions is *not* recommended. Before I added the checks for end-of-menu, I would experience strange screen displays trying to access menu # 1000, etc. even though it was just de-referencing the pointers. Anyone know why? Programs with a space as the first character in the window title (eg PageSetter) need to be filezapped (change the space to, say, a _). Programs that re-use parts of the menu structure (eg Ahost); well, it doesn't hurt, but you can only specify 1 shortcut which shows up several times. Programs that disable menu operations at various times (eg DPaint and Workbench) need to be taken case-by-case. I was disappointed about DPaint, although menu operations *are* allowed once the mouse is above the drawing area. For Workbench, just allow disk activity to cease before using add. This was originally interactive, and I just hacked it into "expert" mode at someone's request. If I ever get more than 10 minutes at a time with it, I'll combine the two, and hopefully get to use some of the neato features like ItemAddress and the MenuNumber macro. Be warned, I fully intend to steal menus away from programs and let you select them in *mine*! I can't accept responsibility for any damages that may occur as a result of using this program (although I highly doubt any will happen). -------------- This program is made available as shareware. Anyone may give it to anyone, but not impose any conditions in doing so. If you feel that any and/or all programs you have from me have been worth $5 or so to you, you might want to send a small donation to: John Russell 5 Alderdice Place St. John's, NF, Canada A1B 2P8 (709) 726-7847 If I get favourable response, I may expand the idea into a general screen/ window/menu management program, allowing you to customize the Intuition-based features of other people's programs. Hmmm, I wonder what kind of copyright conundrums *that* might create?
