-
- DESCRIPTION
- BlocNotes it's a WB commodity that permits to take some notes.
- When you hit a custom hotkey it opens a window: in that window
- you can insert as much text as you want. All the text will be
- stored, together with a description of the window, in a file, so,
- at startup, all the previously opened windows will be opened, each
- one with its text.
-
- It's possible to open a great number of windows(in theory there's
- no limit but Intuition can't look at too much windows together).
- For each window you can set the textfont, the size and position
- and some other stuffs(as GADGETLESS or EDITABLE). You can set for
- each thing a default value.
-
- It supports completely the clipboard, so you can copy text from a
- shell to a note-window or viceversa. You can also import or
- export files. All the windows can be closed or completely deleted
- with a simple command.
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- The program must be copied to the WBStartup drawer for a best use.
- It needs a directory where to store all the notes. You can supply
- the name of this dir inserting it in the tooltype DIRECTORY
- or simply starting the first time the program: it will appear a
- FileRequester and then the name will be stored in the tooltype.
- You can set the hotkey to open a note-window through the tooltype
- NOTEKEY. The default is :NOTEKEY=<CONTROL ESC>.
-
- USE
- To open a window you must hit the hotkey (NOTEKEY), the window
- will be opened in a standard position; you can then insert text,
- change the position or the size of the window, set a new
- font(through menu), enable or disable Insert-mode(<Ins> key on the
- numeric pad), make the window editable or not, make it gadgetless.
- Every window has a menu bar and supports the clipboard with
- standard keys:
- <AMIGA+B> toggle <Mark Block Mode>.
- <AMIGA+V> insert text from the clipboard.
- <AMIGA+C> copy text to the clipboard.
- Each change will be stored in a file in the choosen directory.
- The text is compressed(to save space) with a simple RLE(Run Length
- Encoding) compression.
- With the Import command you can load an external file in the note,
- with the export one you can save the note in a file.
- The second hotkey(defined with CX_POPKEY and <CONTROL ALT n> for
- default) opens the interface window where you can set all the
- default settings for new windows opened.
