[comp.sys.mac] Qkeys/Tempo features?

jchiu@ccvaxa.UUCP (03/15/88)

I'd like to know whether the following 2 features are available in Tempo;
I am sort of disappointed that they are not in Quickeys.

1. All Qkeys macros are activated by one key (plus optional modifiers
   pressed at the same time).  If my leftmost two fingers have to 
   struggle for modifier keys, I would rather use multiple keys in sequal.
   It is also more meaningful this way.  E.g. I would define CMD-W N
   for starting up WriteNow, CMD-W P for Word Perfect ... 

2. The Click define in Qkeys are too limited. At least, it should
   support provide checkboxs for whether other modifier keys are
   effectively pressed.  Right now, you cannot use Qkeys to represent
   many finder short-cuts which required modifer keys.

Furthermore, it really needs some mechanism for passing arguments to be
a real macro utility.  But, this is somewhat out of general audience's
scope.  Then, to be ultimate programmable and powerful, an emacs-like
lisp or hypertalk like  ... ?
