Yak 2.0ß8 A multipurpose commodity
Yak stands for "Yet Another Kommodity" and is a mouse/window manipulation
program along the same lines as DMouse, MightyMouse etc.
Yak has the following features:
o AutoPoint (sunmouse) that only activates when mouse stops
can also specify which screens to include/exclude.
(Compatible with popup-menu type programs)
o AutoPop windows (bring them to front) when they're
auto-activated;
o KeyActivate windows (when key pressed);
o Activate windows when menu button pressed;
o Click windows to front or back; may also specify which
screens/windows to include/exclude.
o Cycle screens with mouse;
o Mouse and Screen blanking (hotkey blanking too);
o Extensible hotkey system (like FKey's) with actions to:
Execute a CLI Command or an ARexx script;
Insert text (with embedded hotkeys);
Insert date (in custom format if locale present);
Close/Zip/Shrink/Enlarge windows;
Move/Cycle screens and windows;
Activate Workbench;
Blank display;
Pop up a palette on front screen (needs reqtools);
Menu shortcut
o KeyClick with adjustable volume;
o No Click option (for drives).
o Wildstar option (like StarBurst) lets you use '*' as wildcard.
o Optional on-screen AppIcon to bring up preferences window.
Look familiar? It's a combination of the AutoPoint, ClickToFront, Blanker
and IHelp/FKey standard commodities (on the Extras disk) with a hint of
KCommodity and DMouse thrown in.
Fully localized when running OS 2.1 or more!
And it's quite small!
