Shortcuts and Setbacks

Where Keith learns a life lesson

The problem with creating a task list like the one i have for this week is that software, like so many things in life, doesn't always cooperate (see my 2.5 year old at the dinner table). The technique that i had planned to use to write the shortcut editor was a total bust. I ended up putting out a call for help and moving on. Like i always say, if at first you don't succeed, work on something else until you have a better idea. If no help comes through, then i'll just have to roll up my sleeves and write a lot more code this afternoon.

For those of you keeping score at home, here's where we stand in our run up to the v2.0 beta:

  • New pop-in/pop-out animations
  • cool display when shortcut is saved
  • Add shortcut editor to preference pane
  • fix window along the left or bottom edge +/= key unexpected behavior
  • change demo so that it is based on a number of uses, not a number of days
  • give pref pane a once over
  • change "Advanced" tab to "Keys" and list undo, redo, center and maximize
  • set the copyright year automatically at build time
  • Give EULA a once over
  • run through clang


Up today: new demo mode, and the shortcut editor (take 2).
