I use DREAMCARD (which I would be tempted to pay for a newer version were it not going down the plug-hole) on Mac OS X and find the key-commands just don't work about 90% of the time. This is a bl**dy nuisance if, like me, you eat anti-inflamatories for breakfast, lunch and tea to cope with wrist injuries bought about by wiggling the mouse too much (No, before you ask, that is not an OT remark referring to something else).
However (and this is VERY ODD INDEED) when I set up my Belkin Nostromo and progged single buttons to send cmd-c and cmd-v signals (and all the rest) they worked 100% of the time. I would like to think that that was the 'wonder' of the Nostromo - but it is not - it must be due to DC/RR not picking up signals when 2 keys are pressed down at once. SO - unless the Runtime Revolution company are planning to issue fancy keypads to all future purchasers of their products - something needs to be done. I asked in an earlier posting whether it might be possible to use the F-keys at the top of most keyboards to call menu-commands: maybe the future lies with doing away with cmd-X / ctrl-X and so on that involve depressing 2 or more keys (which is ergonomically bad form) and replacing them with a requirement to press only a single F-key. There are 15 F-keys at the top of my Mac keyboards, there are 12 on my PC keyboards, plus all those keys over to the left on the number pad, which, intead of reduplicating keys on the main keyboard could be used to call menu-commands. call me 'brilliant', call me 'Richmond', but whatever you call me don't deny that some of my ideas are not quite as daft as they seem at first! sincerely, Richmond Mathewson __________________________________________________ See Mathewson's software at: http://members.maclaunch.com/richmond/default.html _______________________________________ --------------------------------------------------------------- The Think Different Store http://www.thinkdifferentstore.com/ For All Your Mac Gear --------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
