- True, authors of small programs would find it immensley awkward to try and fit
- such an option in without dramatically increasing the program size.
-
- Maybe installing all the shortcuts as a cookie or something, and having a
- program look them up when the program starts is a possible solution. Then
- the configuration program could be as large as it needs (an approach adopted
- by LED Panel among others). Changing shortcuts is not something that needs to
- be done so often it warrants being available on the spot within programs....
-
- Maybe the configuration program should be expandable, so it can grow to
- include program-specific shortcuts (e.g. DSP Options in WinRec - unlikely to
- be used in many other programs...), although this may result in a very large
- cookie to load up at boot time!
-
- Just a few ideas - I have no idea what it would be like implementing them....
