- 1. What is AKeySwap
-
- The two `Amiga' keys to the left and right of the spacebar serve
- different functions in the Amiga system. The right key is used for
- menu shortcuts while the left is reserved for system use, such as
- flipping through screens.
-
- The menu shortcut key is the most frequently used by most people but
- some find it awkward to use. AKeySwap swaps the the left and right
- Amiga key functions so you can use the left Amiga key as the menu
- shortcut key. Correspondingly, the right Amiga key becomes the
- system key.
-
-
- 2. Installation and Use
-
- Because AKeySwap is a commodity, you need at least version 2.04 of
- the operating system.
-
- Using AKeySwap is trivial. Just double click on the icon. For
- `permanent' installation, drop it in your WBStartup drawer. Be sure
- that the DONOTWAIT tooltype is present. Alternately, you may run it
- from a shell or your User-Startup. It runs as a background task so
- there is no need to "RUN >NIL: <NIL" it.
-
- For optimal results, AKeySwap should be one of the very first
- programs in the input event chain and thus the default CX_PRIORITY is
- 100. If you need to adjust this, you may put "CX_PRIORITY=<value>" in
- the icon tooltypes or specify it on the command line.
-
- As with all commodities, you can activate, deactivate or remove
- AKeySwap by using the Exchange program supplied by Commodore. You
- can also remove AKeySwap by running it a second time or sending a
- Control-C break to its process.
