Short: Boot menu when caps-lock is activated
Type: util/boot
Author: Wojciech Kocjan <kocjan@ka.onet.pl>
Uploader: Wojciech Kocjan <kocjan@ka.onet.pl>
Version: 1.1
Requires: OS2.04
««« INTRODUCTION »»»
wkMenu is a nice, font-sensitive boot menu with full keyboard support. It
allows creating sub-menus and can be activated with or without caps lock.
It uses gadtools to create gadgets and is fully system friendly (I hope
:-). It was designed to be a part of AStart (AStart is © Wojciech Kocjan),
but functions without it and vice versa. But if you are interested in
saving memory on booting up, you really should also take a look at AStart.
It's also on Aminet (util/boot/AStartXX.lha where XX means the version
number).
wkMenu was partially based on BangerMenu 1.235. BangerMenu is © Andre´
Trettin. However none of the code was in any way copied from that program.
««« INSTALLATION »»»
To install it, simply copy wkMenu program into C: and put a following
lines somewhere in the startu-sequence:
--- cut here ---
C:wkMenu
If WARN
EndCLI >NIL:
EndIf
--- cut here ---
If you'd like this menu to appear every time you boot up, put the following
lines instead:
--- cut here ---
C:wkMenu root
If WARN
EndCLI >NIL:
EndIf
--- cut here ---
Also make the dir S:wkMenu and copy the config files from config to
S:wkMenu. Read the next chapter on configuring wkMenu.
««« CONFIGURING »»»
The main menu of wkMenu is stored in S:wkMenu/root. It can be changed
using any text editor (like Ed, CygnusEd, Emacs). The format of the file
is as follows:
The label and _shortcut
X/nameofthefile
where:
The label and the _shortcut - the label of the gadget with optional '_'
underscore. The character after '_' will be the keyboard shortcut
nameofthefile - function dependant
X - the function which should be executed:
M - submenu (only the name of the file in S:wkMenu/ should be entered
in nameofthefile , not entire path)
E - execute script (whole path should be entered in nameofthefile)
R - run file (not async, also entire path should be entered)
For examples, see config files. If you have any more problems, then
