- Name/Version: OpenURL v1.0
- 1st Release : 02.04.2002
- Last Update : First Release
-
- Short Description
- Opens high-lighted (text-) URL in the browser.
-
- Reason for the Development
-
- This module was developed to include into RemoteKeys.
- After small changes (hotkeys..) it was ready to be
- used as a stand-alone application.
-
- Sometimes there are not click-able URL-tags shown on websites.
-
- Normally the procedure is like this:
-
- 1. High-light the URL
- 2. Select "Copy"
- 3. Open or switch to a new browser instance
- 4. Click into the address-line
- 5. Select "Paste"
- 6. Press [Enter]
- 7. Return to 1st instance and restart with 1.
-
- OpenURL will reduce step 1-6 to only 2 steps:
-
- 1. High-light the URL
- 2. Press [Ctrl] + [Shift] + [Space]
-
- Note 1
- OpenURL will automaticly add "http://" at the beginning of the URL,
- if nothing else was found (http, ftp...).
- Therefore it is enough to high-light the domain ("altavista.com").
-
- Note 2
- Sometimes there are "ranges" shown like
- http://xy.com/img[01-05].jpg
- OpenURL converts them to
- http://xy.com/img01.jpg
-
- Note 3
- After using OpenURL there is a file named "dummy.htm" in the OpenURL folder.
- You can leave it or remove it but next time you start this app you will find
- it again (no virus).
-
- Tip 1
- To high-light a whole line in the browser:
- - high-light at least one character from line-end to left (note! direction right to left)
- - then press [Shift] + [Home] (ger: Pos1)
-
- Tip 2
- To close the 2nd browser instance:
- - Click into the window if not active
- - then press [Alt] + [F4]
-
- Tip 3
- Several browser instances can be closed in one procedure only:
- - click browser tasks in the taskbar while pressing [Ctrl]
- - then click a pressed task-button with the right mouse button
- and select [Close] from the pull-down menu
-
- Tip 4
- With RemoteKeys (freewarehits.de) you can use OpenURL function with mouse clicks
- instead of hotkeys (one of several hundred functions, also freeware).
- The command is {/APP.OPEN.URL}
