- Description
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
- AltKeyQ is only a small tool. You can start it from Shell or
- Workbench. Then it starts with no further message. From now on,
- you can type in the ASCII value of a character to display while
- keeping the left ALT key pressed. This is the same behaviour you
- will be used to if you are working with MS-DOS computers. By the
- time, you release the ALT key, the code built from the pressed
- numbers will be sent to the active application. For example,
- press left «ALT-6-5» and you get a capital A. Since AltKeyQ is a
- commodity, you can activate, inactivate and remove it under
- control of the Commodities Exchange program. If you use
- Workbench 2.1, AltKeyQ will localize itself, if the right catalog
- file is existent.
-
-
- Start from Shell
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
- The format is »AltKeyQ CX_PRIORITY/K«. The parameter is
- optional. For a description of the parameter look into the
- Commodities chapter of your AmigaOS 2.x Guide.
-
-
- Start from Workbench
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
- Just double-click on the icon of AltKeyQ. Starting it a second
- time will remove it from the commodities list.
-
-
- The tool types
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
- There is only the standard tool type CX_PRIORITY, which is
- described in the Commodities chapter of your AmigaOS 2.x guide.

-
- Sorry: Even locale.library cannot localize this ReadMe file.
-
- If you add one or more catalog translation files I would get a
- copy to hold all translations together. This can even be helpful
- while creating new programs with all translations in it from the
- first distribution on.

- Please send bug reports, ideas and new catalog translation files
