KeySim 1.0
Key Sim simulates keystrokes. It is used to automize programs which do not have command line options. Key definition: You can define the keystrokes in the text box. Automatic save: KeySim creates a file KeySim.txt in the folder where it has been started. This file holds the key stream definition.The file is automatically saved when keysim shuts down. Key codes: Key codes are like for the VB sendkeys command (see README) Other features: {RUN cmd} sends the command cmd to a shell. The program cmd is started in the background {WAIT} pauses the key sending for (very approximately) one second {ACTIVATE wname} activates the window with the title wname. The title must be exact, don`t forget white spaces etc. After the activate command, keys are sent to the activated window. {EXIT} ends the program. Command line option: The command `keysim go` sends the keys one time before the KeySim window opens. Installation: Uzipping the zip file will create keysim.exe, a sample KeySim.txt and the README file. There is no installation, double-klick keysim.exe to start the KeySim.
WheelKeys 1.0
WheelKeys simulates keystrokes in specified programs, when you turn the mouse wheel. Keys are sent when one of the specified program windows is selected. Original mouse wheel commands are discarded. Key definition: You can define the keystrokes in Wheels.txt. Look at the sample Wheels.txt. Thy syntax of Wheels.txt is: Exename of the first program you want to send keystrokes to (Space) up Keys (Space) down keys (carriage return) Exename of the second program ... and so on. Hint: Please use the exact syntax, usage errors are not handled. Effect: Keys are sent when one of the specified program windows is selected. Original mouse wheel commands are discarded. A meaningful example is the volume control of the Media Player which is supplied in the second line of Wheels.txt. Key codes: Key codes are like for the VB sendkeys command (see README) Exit: To quit the program, klick on the wheel which appears in the system tray when you have started WheelKeys. Suggestion: If you think that WheelKeys is not very user friendly, or if it doesn`t work, please buy Mouse Wheel Control by Ardamax Software. It is a wonderful program which has inspired me to make WheelKeys. Installation: Uzipping the zip file will create WheelKeys.exe, a sample Wheels.txt and the README file. There is no installation, double-klick WheelKeys.exe to start WheelKeys
