- uninstall. If QuicKeys is reinstalled, the Actions
- previously created will be available. To completely
- remove QuicKeys, delete all Actions from the QuicKeys
- Editor prior to uninstalling QuicKeys.
-
- QuicKeys incorporates compression code from the
- Info-ZIP group. There are no extra charges or
- costs due to the use of this code, and the
- original compression sources are freely available
- from http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/.
-
- ----------
- KNOWN ISSUES
-
- QuicKeys can not record or playback from the
- Start Menu in Windows 98 or any machine with Internet
- Explorer 4.0 with the shell update installed.
-
- Browsing for menu items in Microsoft Word, Excel,
- Outlook 98 and some versions of Internet Explorer
- does not work using the Select Menu Action, but can
- be recorded and played back successfully using standard
- sequence recording.
-
- Mouse clicks and keystrokes do not get converted to
- Select Menu Actions when recording in Microsoft Word,
- Excel, Outlook 98 and some versions of Internet
- Explorer. However, these items will play back correctly.
-
- The Microsoft Office Assistant must be disabled when
- recording a sequence which involves switching to or from
- a Microsoft Office program.
-
- If you record a sequence in Microsoft Word or Excel
- which involves menu items, do not change the zoom state
- of the document window after recording. Changing the
- zoom state shifts the menus which will cause the
- sequence to fail on playback.
-
- When using a Type Text Action to enter a large amount of
- text into Microsoft Word, you will experience a delay
- before the text appears on the screen. Word does not
- display the text until the Type Text Action is completed.
-
- Selections copied from Microsoft Office and other OLE
- Server applications will be displayed in the QuicKeys
- Clipbook as thumbnails. These selections will paste
- properly.
-
- For maximum performance and reliability, use a
- Clipbook Action instead of a Type Text Action when
- pasting large amounts of text (over 400 characters).
-
- The right shift and right control keys will not
- work as hot keys under Windows NT.
-
- The Special Characters Action dialog may display several
- rectangular boxes instead of characters if the current
- system font does not support these characters.
-
- Older applications (16-bit) cannot be scoped under
- Windows NT 4.0.
-
- Programs that use command line parameters to launch will
- not show up in the program lists in QuicKeys. Use the
- "Browse" option to select these programs.
-
- The "Up One Folder" Change Folder Action only works in
- open and save dialogs. It does not work in Explorer views.
-
- During Type Text and Menu Select Actions, the mouse
- cursor will not move until the Action has completed.
- If the mouse cursor does not move after completion or you
- need to abort the Action, press "Control + Esc".
-
- To ensure that all Actions are captured when recording
- a sequence, wait for the recording palette or the
- blinking microphone icon in the taskbar before performing
- the steps to record.
-
- For best results, restart your computer before
- reinstalling QuicKeys.
-
- Using Alt key combinations to trigger Advanced Text Tool
- Actions or Copy selection to Clipbook Actions is not
- recommended.
-
- If you are using Adobe products, avoid using
- "Shift + Alphanumeric" hot keys to trigger Type Text
- Actions.
-
- If you are using Adobe products, avoid using
- "Alt + Alphanumeric" hot keys to trigger Menu Select
- Actions.
