- Ok, can you explain what this does? thks
-
- I hoped that this was deducible from the question it answered, but I
- can certainly explain it too.
-
- What this dwrite does is to reassign the command key equivalents of
- Newsgrazer menu items. As the case happens to be I really don't like
- many of the command key equivalents in Newsgrazer as I rarely use
- those items, but the equivalents collide with services menu items
- which I frequently use. I used to hack the nib file every time there
- was a new release of Newsgrazer, but in the long run that got to be
- too much of a hassle, so I decided to use the dwrite instead.
- Unfortunately I do not believe that there is a way to actually cause a
- menu item which already has a command key equivalent to have none. So
- instead I assigned the same unusual command key equivalent to all
- unwanted menu items. So in this particular case, the menu items
- "Help...", "Next", aso. upto "Record read articles..." all have the
- command key equivalent command-. now. "NewsFolders..." got command-M
- and "Mark articles read" got command-y.
-
- Clear enough ?
