- INTRODUCTION
- --------------
-
- QuickClose is a simple tool that lets you close Workbench drawer window
- with all its parents in one mouse click. This feature is one of the most
- innovative things in Win95 and now is brought to your Amiga by QuickClose!
- This program is a small harmless hack, but is not guaranteed to work with
- Kickstart 4.0. With Kickstarts older than 2.0 it is guaranteed not to work.
- QuickClose is a freeware and may be freely distributed as long as all
- files remain unchanged. The author can not be taken responsible for any
- damage caused by this program or its improper use.
-
- INSTALLATION
- --------------
-
- Simply drop QuickClose into WBStartup drawer or start it from
- User-Startup using 'Run >NIL: QuickClose'.
-
- USAGE
- -------
-
- QuickClose can be started from Workbench or from Shell and has one
- parameter - qualifier you want to use. When this key is held down when you
- click on window's close gadget QuickClose will tell Workbench to close all
- its parents also. This qualifier may be changed by setting QUALIFIER
- tooltype in QuickClose's icon or may be specified as a command line argument
- when QuickClose is run from Shell. Shell template is: QuickClose QUALIFIER/K.
- Available qualifiers are (case is not important):
- lshift - left Shift
- rshift - the opposite
- shift - left or right Shift
- lalt - left Alt
- ralt - middle Alt :-)
- alt - you have free choice
- control - sometimes called Ctrl
- lcommand - mysterious name of left Amiga key
- rcommand - look at the other end of the space bar...
- When qualifier is not specified in command line it will be read from an
- icon. If this tooltype is not set in icon, 'shift' will be used as default.
- To quit QuickClose send to it CTRL-C signal using keyboard, 'break'
- command or system monitor. The simpler way is to run it again and select 'Ok'
- in resulting requester. Because this program patches intuition.library
- vectors you must have a patch manager (like SetMan) installed in your system.
- If it is not found QuickClose won't be removed because of safety reasons.
-
- LIMITATIONS
- -------------
-
- Nobody is perfect. QuickClose will get confused when you try to close
- window opened with 'Open Parent' menu function. Closing and opening Workbench
- screen again won't help either. In both cases windows may be closed in
- improper order, that's all.
