Hit shift 5 times then look at the checkbox that allows you to disable it  (at least it offers one here...)

thanks, but the dialog box I get, doesn't have that checkbox
here's the instructions:
| Quote: | To activate StickyKeys
1.Press the Shift key five times. A dialog box opens with instructions on how to set up the StickyKeys feature.
2.If you click OK, an icon (a group of squares) appears in the notification area.
To turn off StickyKeys, press the Shift key five times.
|
summary
----------------
on: press shift five times (the dialog pops up)
off : press shift five times (the dialog pops up)
clever eh ?

Webber-
I do plan to improve this feature. I also plan on posting all related source to have as an open source type project.. but I still want to hammer out a few more logistics of the whole framework of it & at the same type clean it up w/ all the newly available features.
For the time being- here is the Win2k alternative:
1.) Start --> Run --> access.cpl
2.) Click on 'Settings...' button on right..
3.) Deselect 'Use shortcut' at top of panel..

|
|
freakkk,
Excellent work mate, just have one small problem - when browsing for a program to 'Run', I cannot double click to open a folder I have to use the keyboard to navigate the folder structures.
Is this just me ?
Win XP SP2 on a P4 2.6, 512mb RAM.
Plus a feature request - any chance of setting the dialogue windows (e.g. the mouse management window) to be always on top (z order) so I can select and activate the neccessary window before using shift to select it. If you wanted to be really clever you could also shift the dialogue out of the way as the mouse approached it (until you press shift of course) similair to the record button that comes with AHK Recorder (but that may be pushing it).
Thanks for a great little app by the way.
You don't have a mailing list we can sign up to for new versions ?
Cheers
Phatman |

Wow! I'm just getting started on it now, so I'll probably be more amazed as I go along. Many thanks for sharing this! I have an immediate feature request, too - would it be possible to allow the user to choose their own key to trigger expansion? In other words, have the spacebar option as it is now, the "immediate" as it is now, but also, let the user define the tab key, capslock key, semicolon key, whatever they choose?
Edit: The macro editor is a great teaching tool for someone like me, as well!
2nd Edit: I love that instant screenshot save, man!

Yeah-- sorry about that. Initially I found an issue w/ the way I'm doing the partial screenshots.. I found that after taking one- it would get stuck 'on' & keep taking screenshots everytime you would click w/ mouse. Well- I went in and fixed that.. but I ended up screwing up the run screen to an extent!! (I noticed it at work one day-- & haven't gotten around to fixing it yet..) | Quote: | | any chance of setting the dialogue windows (e.g. the mouse management window) to be always on top (z order) so I can select and activate the neccessary window before using shift to select it.

In mouse management window- after you click the 'Get Mouse Position' button.. it is supposed to set the management window to be on top-- so if you mouse your way around until you find the window you want.. it should be there for you. I did forget to hide the macro editor though (like I did on the window management screen- after you click 'detect window') & I will get that fixed for you. Also- if you lose your macro editor window at any time (like if you click on another window..) you can just use the 'Ralt+L' shortcut to make it the active window again. I definately like the shifting position idea though!! It could be like that how to keep an idiot busy page!!

Well.. I'm not sure w/ tab or caps-- but you can already use ;. Just set that as the last character in your string & check 'as soon as string is typed' & there you go (I usually use the '/' as the last char for mine-- so i don't have to move my hand too much ) I'll look into it for you. I also want to add ability to be able to run a custom macro instead of expansion string. | Quote: | | macro editor is a great teaching tool |
Yeah- it could be.. but where it stands now.. the editor doesn't even show proper ahk syntax (its just my own fuzzy logic  ). I was working on completely revamping the editor.. to add bunches of more options-- & to also let you see proper coding for it.. but I didn't think there was much interest in it.. & I got distracted by other projects I'm working on.
I was kind of holding out for treeview (so I could make logical if statements collapsable..) but I guess the above could work fine too. I suppose I'll dig up the source.. & pick up from where I left off next month.
Thanks for the support guys-- & I'll keep you up to date to any improvements / changes..

Ha! That's true! Good suggestion, I'll do that. The reason I do like a trigger other than space is as a safeguard to never expand a "real" word. Then even if your abbreviation turns out to be one, you don't have to worry about it.
I'll take your word on the macro editor and sure wouldn't object to more "proper" ahk syntax, but trust me, for me, it still is very, very helpful! 
On a sidenote, I have lots more interest in this and a few other scripts around here than I'll ever end up expressing. Since I have no technical advice to offer, no coding to contribute, and only come at everything as a user, I usually end up saying nothing. As I told some friends yesterday, it's a big frustration for me! LOL, well, that's my problem. I just hope the day comes when that changes! |

freakkk,
Cheers mate, I knew I had seen that moving window effect somehwere before (  ).
Are you looking at fixing the 'Run' issue.
Definate interest as well, have persuaded a couple of mates to download and have a play.
Slave beats most of the macro recorders out there for flexibility (and the simple fact that it works !!!).
Thanks mate.

freakkk,
Sorry mate, one final request - no offence, but any chance of a different program icon.
Gotta admit I don't like it sitting in my tray, but I can live with it. But everybody else I get to try Slave it slightly put of by it (I know it's only an icon but what can I say).
Thanks

By the icon? Really? -- I could see how maybe the name of it could be offensive.. but I really didn't see this one coming!! 
Anyway- fixed the run issue & a couple other things. I updated my original post- & evan compiled one for you w/ a less offensive icon  .
(its the icon that is used when you export using 'standalone exe' option..). I would love to hear any suggestions for an icon.. or what type of icon you think fits it though..

freakkk,
You are a star mate , will check it out when I get home. Strangely nobody seemed bothered by the name 
Will have a dig around for an icon (have several pretty good icon sets) unfortunately you may have to get permission from the author to use them (non of them are commerical so assume the authors wouldn't mind you using one since Slave is not for profit).
On second thoughts are you limiting it to 256 colour icon (in which case I have fewer options). Although some 24 bit Windows XP icons translate suprisingly well to the system tray. Never mind will post download location and you can have a look yourself.
Cheers
