PASTE DARNIT! FKEY will paste into certain environments, such as some dialog boxes, that don't allow the usual paste command. It tricks the processor into thinking that you have typed the text contained in the clipboard (desk scrap). This feature makes it useful for fast text macros. It is FREEware! Use it at your own risk.
Caveats
I am excluding the usual instructions and warnings about FKEYs as they are growing rather tiresome. If you have questions about installation, please refer to your Suitcase II or FKEY Manager documentation. I highly recommend Carlos Weber's FKEY Manager utility. It is available from a variety of on line sources and it is also FREE.
This FKEY only pastes 20 characters. If you attempt to paste more, it will truncate the string. I am including the source code (THINK C). If anyone can explain this limitation, I will attempt to fix it. Also, any other suggestions are welcome. It has only been at home on my Mac+.
This FKEY may work well in other environments, such as PRODIGY, that do not accept the normal paste command. Try it!
If you activate this FKEY on the desktop, it may rename some of your files.
Business
If you are working with a small keyboard, you may find Extendor FKEYs useful. They give your your small powerbook or mac+ keyboards access to the keys on extended keyboard; such as home, page up, del, help and others. Unlike other similar utilities, the outputs from these FKEYs are subject to modification. For example, if you wanted to press command-help, simply hold the command key down as you activate the help FKEY. Because of this feature, I am asking a $10.00 shareware fee for Extendor FKEYs. They are available on AOL or send me a disk.
