NEW RELEASE March 14, 1998 X-IT Version 2.5
The One Button Zapper
X-it gives you a single click to many common actions that normally take a large
number of mouse movements and clicking. X-it was nominated as Most Innovative
New Product at the 1997 Shareware Industry Awards (www.sic.org).
NEW FEATURES:
- Added "disable capslock key" option. Handy for small keyboards.
- Added Italian version.
- Updated/added contact info (email, mailing list, web sites, online ordering).
- Fix for other sys3175 errs: Amipro, Pastry are now removed from the
exception list.
- Fix for right mouse button conflict with PMMail (requires PMMail with
version later than 1.95a). (Note: using PMMail 1.95/1.95a is not
recommended with X-it - use PMMail 1.92 instead until a newer version of
PMMail addresses the conflicts.)
- Fix for '/' appearing when the right windows key is pressed under Warp 3.
- Fix for "clock on titlebar" exception not working.
- Fix for possible memory leak in the "copy to clipboard" action.
- Fixed update xit ini file settings bug if update was for a release older
than the last recent one.
- Fix for missing text on X-it configuration dialogs in non-English dlls.
- New X-it port: X-IT for Windows. See www.bmtmicro.com/catalog/xitwin/
AND THE STANDARD FEATURES:
- Multiple user defined titlebar buttons - assign a predefined action to
them or launch any PM, Dos or Windows program. Place them on the left
or the right side of the titlebar.
- Over 30 useful predefined actions.
- Window actions include close, rollup, next, previous, move, size, task list.
- Edit actions include cut, copy, copy all, paste and clear. These actions
are available in any PM window or any command line window. Copy all
will copy the entire text in a PM multi-line entry field with a single click
- no need to mark it first! Copy from static text or the titlebar!
- Folder actions include open parent, open parent and close, sort,
arrange and refresh.
- User defined middle and right mouse buttons - assign them with the same
actions available for the titlebar buttons. Plus, you can assign the
right or left mouse button double click action to a single mouse button
or a key - never have to double click again!
- Keyboard keys can also be assigned any predefined action (including Win95
keys).
- User defined popup menus for edit and folder actions. Copy and paste
or sort a folder with almost no mouse movements.
- Full OS/2 and Dos command window support, including font size and
full screen actions. Bypass that pesky "are you sure" dialog when closing a
command line window or doing a system shutdown.
- Other available actions that can be assigned are X-it task list (single
click to another program), OS/2 task list, LaunchPad, and Help.
- Titlebar and Desktop clock, with date and/or time in your country format.
- "Auto drop down combo box on mouse click" - a handy windows-like feature
where you don't have to click on the tiny down arrow to open a drop down
list.
- X-windows like window focus - the window under the mouse pointer is
automatically activated. User defined delay, and Z-order can be
preserved.
- "Remove Warp 4 close button" option.
- Language support for German, French, Danish, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish,
Norwegian, Finnish, Dutch, Portuguese, Hungarian, Italian and English.
- No charge when updating from a previous 2.x version, and all your current
settings are preserved.
