WindowKey    1.04    Controls windows via keyboard

WindowKey  is  yet another input helper program.  The job of those programs
is  well  known:  they activate, bring to front, push to back, zoom, etc...
any window or screen (in the Intuition sense of the word) on user request.

Lots  of programs exist that do that, including Commodores'FKey provided on
the  workbench  disk, but none of them had a user interface as powerful and
were  as  flexible  as WindowKey.  The interface for WindowKey was directly
reproduced  from that of my other program Injector.  The reason why I chose
to  make  two  different  programs  instead  of  including  the features of
WindowKey in Injector is that you can use either program without the other,
which  sounds  quite normal since their jobs are completely different (this
is  one reproach to other input helper programs which tend to do everything
and end up doing nothing).

Another  reason to the existence of WindowKey is the possibility to control
Intuition  only  from  the  keyboard, instead of having to hunt for a mouse
hidden under a pile of paper when wanting to change the active window.

To  make  this work, WindowKey has its own language, made of keywords, with
or  without  arguments  enclosed in parentheses.  You will have to read the
references sections for further informations.
