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!
