Title: Question on Autohotkey Use Post by: glynnw on March 31, 2009, 08:29:52 pm I have yet to install autohotkey, but will do so when you get next version of player up and tested - I am still using 09X-3 ( I think). Currently I am using a mouse to run everything and am quite satisfied. I have a screen and mouse on a small table by my chair and can control everything and easily read the screen. Once I have installed autohotkey and set everything to my satisfaction, will I still be able to just use a mouse to control playback? Using the keyboard all the time will be a big inconvenience due to how I now have the hardware physically arranged.
But of course, if it improves SQ, I will operate it standing on my head :-) Title: Re: Question on Autohotkey Use Post by: PeterSt on March 31, 2009, 11:57:38 pm Hehe ...
Glynn, The main thing about the keyboard shortcuts is about controlling some things while playing Unattendedly. And, this gives the best sound quality, for sure when those services are stopped. So, nothing to do with the mouse then (the Taskbar isn't even there then ... nothing). So ... So a most convenient thing to my own experience, with - or without Taskbar, is being able to start the GUI (XXHighEnd) by means of Alt-X. That alone at least may save me 30 minutes per day (just because it is more quick than shivering the mouse to the right place :)). But without Taskbar it is the (near) only thing to do (as others pointed out, you can always use the "Windows" key to bring up the Start Menu, but it's tedious). Anyway ... when you do *not* tick "Stop Services" in the Settings Area, nothing changes, and you can still use the mouse as much as you want. But before not ticking that, I just would and have a beer or something. Because it really matters. Unattended of course, otherwise it doesn't work. Not anymore (0.9x-6). |
