NEW RELEASE XIT Version 2.2
April 3/96 The One Button Zapper
If you liked Xit 1, you are going to love Xit 2 for OS/2. Xit gives you
a single click to many common actions that normally take a large number
of mouse movements and clicking.
NEW FEATURES:
Configurable titlebar clock on the active window. Show time or time
and date, show seconds and/or am/pm. Uses your country format time and
date settings.
Auto-rolldown when a rolled up window in the background is activated.
Auto-rolldown when a rolled up window is closed, for all windows or
just for folders.
Added titlebar button description in context menu (using right mouse
button over Xit button)
International support for German, French, Danish, and Japanese. Dutch
and Spanish are in the works - just a simple .DLL upgrade when
available.
No slowdowns, no input queue hangs, and works with TaskBar and
Dragtext!
And all the usual 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.
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. And finally, the feature you've been waiting for
from IBM - bypass that pesky "are you sure" dialog when closing a
command line window.
Other available actions that can be assigned are Xit task list (single
click to another program), OS/2 task list, LaunchPad, and Help.
Works with any desktop manager - Workplace Shell, FileBar, Mdesk, etc..
