- About ShiftHack
-
- Does your Pilot capitalize letters when you don't want it to? Tired of
- shifting up three times to turn off auto-capitalization? Want caps-lock to
- stay on as long as you want it to, even during editing?
-
- ShiftHack gives control over shifting back to you.
-
- ShiftHack is a HackMaster-compatible shareware module that eliminates
- auto-capitalization, and maintains your chosen shift-state between
- applications (including the built-in apps). It's tightly-coded, efficient,
- and compatible with all Pilots up to and including the PalmPilot
- Professional.
-
-
- - What ShiftHack Does
-
- Under normal circumstances, the Palm OS will watch your Graffiti input, and
- change the shift-state to anticipate the capital at the beginning of a
- sentence. If you're like me, you find that this is more hindrance than
- help, as you frequently wish to switch it off, which takes multiple shifts.
- Also, if you're in caps-lock mode, auto-capitalization drops you out of it.
-
- ShiftHack eliminates this auto-capitalization, leaving you free to change
- the shift-state as you please.
-
-
- - Requirements and Installation
-
- ShiftHack occupies less than 1K of your Pilot's RAM.
-
- ShiftHack is a HackMaster module, and as such requires DaggerWare's
- excellent HackMaster system extender, available as shareware from
- <http://www.daggerware.com>. Please consult the DaggerWare's documentation
- as regards HackMaster's installation and operation.
-
- After HackMaster is installed on your Pilot, use your Pilot Desktop software
- to install shfthk11.prc, just as you would install any other Pilot program.
- ShiftHack can then be enabled from HackMaster's main panel. No
- configuration is required.
-
