- Fkey Strip
- Written by Robert C. Best III ©1995
-
- What is Fkey Strip and what does it do?
- Fkey Strip is a module for Apple's Control Strip which servers two main purposes;
- 1) Provides a menu to the Control Strip window which list all fkeys installed
- and allows you to run them by choosing them from the list
- 2) Creates a folder called 'Fkey Folder' in your system folder whose contents are
- scanned for Fkeys and added to the menu.
-
- Why would I want this?
- 1) If your like me, you have several fkeys installed and forget their key combinations.
- Using Fkey Strip you call easily access these fkeys without using the key
- combinations.
- 2) Most of us don't like having to install fkeys into our system, there are of course
- fancy tricks that can be done to ease the process but what could be easier that
- just dropping the file, which can be of any type, into a folder (in this case,
- the 'Fkey Folder').
- 3) Again if your like me you would like to have more fkeys than the limited number
- that is possible using the key combinations. Since fkeys are activated using
- the keys command-shift and a number 0-9 you can easily see that you can have
- a very small collection of fkeys at once. Using Fkey Strip you may have up to
- 100 fkeys installed.
-
- How do I install it?
- Simply place the module 'Fkey Strip' in the folder 'Control Strip Modules' (which
- is located inside your system folder) and restart.
-
- How do I use it?
- Once Fkey Strip is properly installed place an file containing an fkey into the folder
- called 'Fkey Folder' (which Fkey Strip created inside your system folder) and
- either restart or choose 'reset' from the new 'Fkey Strip' item (looks like
- a fancy 'f') on your Control Strip window.
-
- What does it cost?
- Fkey Strip is shareware, meaning that you may try Fkey Strip for one week and then
- either send $5 U.S. Currency (or the equivalent in your currency if outside of
- the United States) or destroy all copies of Fkey Strip in your possession.
- Send check or money order to:

- Legal Stuff
- 1) Like many authors I can not make any claims as to the safety of Fkey Strip and feel
- I must warn you that any use of it is at your own risk.
-
- 2) Fkey Folder is shareware and may be distributed for trial purposes only, so long
- as all original software and documentation is included in without modification.
-
- 3) Fkey Folder may also be included as part of a collection of software so long as
- permission is given by myself, the author in advance. (just email me).
