I built a spreadsheet and wrote a parser to import it into excel back in the SX days. The first time I saw the results laid out this way, it was such a huge eye opener. I was able to optimize so many aspects of the keymap that I didn’t even know were screwed up. It also lets you see the huge gap of unused keys. It’s just such a great way to see what’s going on.
I’m on Mac, and want to have this too. I run a Virtual Box install of windows xp and have succeeded in creating an html file from my key commands xml file by editing a few lines in the .vbs file.
The problem is that there is one more modifier key available on Mac than on PC, so I need to create more columns, which I was able to do, and parse the corresponding commands into them, which I was not.
I fiddled with the array statements, but don’t have enough Basic knowledge to make this happen. I was hoping I am missing something that would help me.
Anywho, PM me if this is too much for a forum post, and thanks for your work on the original.
yeah, its tough because the variable and array setup he has is more the “geterdone” variety. Very hard to follow. I tried re-ordering the columns and failed miserably. But, I think the code you are looking for is in the case statements where he sets “kn” values for parsing in the loops.
No, I could never reverse engineer the VB parsing script to implement that column for the extra modifier key.
Mac: shift, ctrl, opt, cmd
Win: shift, ctrl, alt
If this were redone in javascript instead of Visual Basic it could work on both platforms. It requires more advanced scripting than I am familiar with currently, though I might have another go at at at some point.
I played with this this morning, but javascript doesn’t easily support the access to local files. I found a way to do it with ActiveX and other custom solutions, but none of them are cross platform, cross browser compatible. I think perl or python might be easier to make cross platform.
would someone please pm me their keycommands.xml file. I want to work on the perl script, but I’m on the road and didn’t bring it with me. grrrr … dumbass mode engaged.
As far as I know iFrames don’t work that way, they scroll with the rest of the page. You can control visibility and stuff like that, but I don’t think you can have a split page. But, it’s been awhile for me too. So, that setting may be there.
