This action will block all keyboard buttons, but leave hotkeys intact and active. You will be able to press hotkeys even when keyboard is paused. Additionaly, WK can automatically remove pause when hotkey is triggered. Useful in conjuction with "Sequence" hotkeys. Pause key will be automatically added to all new sequence hotkeys by default for your convinience. See help for details - New hotkey option - 'Press+Unpress'.

This is convinient way to save bitmaps directly from clipboard - "Run as from command line": If you call this action on simple number, WK will convert in into hex value (from "255" to "0xFF"). And if you call it on hex number (like "0xFF") it will be converted to the decimal value (from "0xFF" to "255") - "Run as from command line": if you press this hotkey when no text is selected. WK will automatically select text from cursor position to the beginning of current line - Option to save clipboard histories periodically to prevent data loss on system crashes (disabled by default) - Special menu for selected text (in any window) added.

This quick-run will quickly print document - New default quick-run: Empty recycle bin. Choose to add default quick-runs in preferences if it is not here already - New template for use in macros: '%ISRUN:xxx'. Will be evaluated to '1' if application 'xxx' is currently active (even as background process) or '0' if no active application with process name like 'xxx' found. Process names can be seen in task manager or "Processes" submenu - New modifiers for mouse-enabled hotkeys. Now hotkey with mouse buttons can include part of the active window under cursor - title, minimize/maximize buttons, etc. In other word, you can assign hotkey like "Click with middle button on window`s title" to any action. For example it is convinient to assign "@MOverTitle-@WheelUp" and "@MOverTitle-@WheelDown" to Alt-Tab replacer`s actions "Switch to next window/Switch to previous window".

If you press such hotkey combination (assigned to action), nothing will happen. Action will be triggered as usual only when you unpress hotkey combination. Example: Suppouse Win-K is assigned to "Show preferences" and Win-K-L is assigned to "Pause WinAmp". If Win-K is not marked as "Act on unpress", pressing Win-K-L will show preferences and pause WinAmp at the same time (because while you are pressing Win-K-L, you are pressing Win-K too). But if you mark Win-K as "Act on unpress", Win-K will show preferences only when pressed and unpressed alone, and will not trigger event after unpressing Win-K-L (because Win-K-L triggering another action). - Hotkey now has another new property - Transparency. Transparent hotkeys will not hide keypress from underlaying application. So it is possible to reload such combination like Ctrl-C for example - and currently active application will receive this keypress too and will copy it`s selected content into clipboard - Both hotkeys properties (Act on unpres and transparent hotkeys) will work only when 'Extended hotkey processing' is ON - New feature in the extended hotkey processing: Keyboard blocking.

ver 2.6.5

Added: - All clipboards histories (main/additional clips) will save bitmaps now as well as text. You can disable this additional support in preferences. Currently may not work well with big images. Warning: Saving big images in histories can bloat WireKeys configuration files!!! By default, big images will NOT be saved between restarts of the Wirekeys to prevent such bloat (but you can change this behaviour in preferences) - Command line switch "-ul" to force WireKeys use non-standard location for saving persistent data (configuration files, etc) Examples: 1) WireKeys.exe -ul WireKeys will save its preferences in the folder "UserData" inside folder with WireKeys.exe file 2) WireKeys.exe -ul=XXX WireKeys will save its preferences in the folder "XXX" inside folder with WireKeys.exe file 3) WireKeys.exe -ul="C:\XXX" WireKeys will save its preferences in the folder "C:\XXX" Fixed: - Trial-period related bugs

ver 2.6.4

Added: - New features in macro recorder that allow you to use 'Window control' macro - New pattern - '%URL_ESCAPED'.

Added: - Shortcuts for creating "Internet link" quick-runs in preferences New options in "Enabler" plugin: 1) it can be paused by default and 2) hotkey can be assigned to enable one control (or entire window) under cursor (one-time enable). "One time enable" can even re-activate a main window blocked by the modal dialog (but use this feature at your own risk) - Option to hide mouse cursor when you are typing something. Cursor will be shown when you touch your mouse again. Option can be found in "Extended hotkey processing" folder in preferences - Now macro can hold more than one entry point. Each point can be connected to separate hotkey. Another extension to macro structure - persistent cookies. Now macro can store some data and analize it in subsequent calls (i.e. data is saved between different calls to macro) - New macro - "Full media control" (one of the default macros). Based on previously described feature. This macro allows you to set hotkeys for such actions as Play, Pause, Stop, Forward, etc that will work in the same way in WinAmp, Zoom Player, Windows Media Player, BSPlayer. In other words this macro will emit different commands depending of application you are using when calling this macro :) - New option in "GPIO Remote control" - option to set control "mode". One can reserve control button to switch between different modes and the same button can be used for different action depending of the current control mode - New option in "Macro recorder". Now it can record single button clicks, main menu items and toolbar buttons (for those who are familiar with WinAPI - this mode will record all WM_COMMANDs) - New macro - "Mouse control" (one of the default macros). This macro can be used to control mouse movements and button clicks via keyboard or remote control. This macro also illustrates how to use persistent cookies in a macro - Option to save clipboard content between restarts Fixed: - Bug with non-English characters in the AutoText plugin

ver 2.6

Added: - "Wired key combinations" plugin where moved to separate section of preferences - you can find it under "Common options" section - Ability to define secondary (and third) hotkey for any action. This additional hotkeys serve as alternative hotkey for action. While editing hotkey: to switch between primary/secondary hotkey use hotkey`s context menu or down button to the right of the hotkey field. Especially useful with Remote Controls (with corresponding plugin) - Extended functionality in plugin`s API. Now plugin can register and trigger "Events" and user can add this events to the hotkeys (from hotkey`s context menu). This is how remote control`s plugin is working. - Remote controls support (via special plugins). For now you can download from our site plugin that supports AverTV Studio remote control buttons in all hotkeys. And not only buttons but even buttons sequences - you can define hotkey which will be triggered when you press two or more buttons one after another (without delays). In fact this plugin can be used for all GPIO compatible remote controls (at least for all AverMedia controls), but to use it with other remotes, one have to rewrite remote config (can be found in the plugin`s installation folder). Share new config with us to get free registration key to WireKeys! - Option to direct hotkeys actions with mouse clicks to under-cursor window, not foreground window - Shortcut for creating internet links quick-runs - A lot of small, unimportant changes Fixed: - Usability issues
