OK, so, now I have tried this. I have encountered quite a few issues with it, unfortunately, and I don't think it will be an answer for me either. I know Jerome is a regular poster here, but I do not want to cause any offence or hurt. So, here are a few of the issues; should I open GitHub issues for these, or are they not things you are interested in changing? * CTMOUSE driver regularly goes crazy on hardware (maybe because my test machines have both a trackpad and a trackpoint); PGME can't be operated with keyboard alone. That is a deal-breaker for me. * I replaced CTMOUSE with the Microsoft mouse driver. This works fine and works in FreeDOS Edit etc. PGME seems not to detect it, though. The pointer won't move. * No way to move between the list of entries on the current menu, on the left, and the list of menus on the right, with the keyboard. * I read left-to-right. Most Roman/Cyrillic/Greek alphabet users do. ;-) I feel the categories should be on the left and menus on the right. I can't see any option to rearrange them. * I need to be able to move between those 2 panes with left and right, or Tab, or both. With highlighting of which has keyboard focus, perhaps by changing the colour of the box * I need to be able to edit the menus with the keyboard, and see what the keystrokes are, ideally in the traditional way by underlining the active letters. * I suggest fonts, sound effects. etc off by default, but maybe that's just me. === PGME let me find some other programs I didn't know about. I also looked at the "FreeDOS Shell" app, but it seems to have only 1 app in its list and no way to add more. It seems not to be a functional app, just a demo of the programming library. I suggest removing it as it does nothing useful. -- Liam Proven ~ Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk ~ gMail/gTalk/FB: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/LinkedIn: lproven ~ Skype: liamproven UK: (+44) 7939-087884 ~ Czech [+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal]: (+420) 702-829-053 _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
