ScreenPop

WHAT IS SCREENPOP?

ScreenPop is an Amiga commodity that lets you quickly switch between

open screens using a configurable hotkey or the middle mouse button.

When triggered, a small popup window appears at the mouse position

listing all open screens. Click on a screen name, or use a keyboard 

number key to jump to it instantly.

REQUIREMENTS

- AmigaOS 3.0 or higher

INSTALLATION

Copy ScreenPop to any location on your system, for example

SYS:WBStartup/ to launch it automatically at boot.

To configure ScreenPop, create a text file at S:ScreenPop.cfg

CONFIGURATION

ScreenPop is configured via the text file S:ScreenPop.cfg. If this

file does not exist, ScreenPop uses its built-in defaults.

The file has two lines:

  Line 1: The hotkey descriptor string (default: lamiga ')

  Line 2: Middle mouse button enable/disable. Set to MMB=YES to

          enable, or any other value (or omit the line) to disable.

          Default is disabled.

Example S:ScreenPop.cfg:

  lamiga '

  MMB=YES

This configures ScreenPop with the default Left Amiga + ' hotkey and

enables middle mouse button support.

USAGE

Press the configured hotkey (default: Left Amiga + ') or the middle

mouse button (if enabled). A popup window will appear at the mouse

position listing all open screens.

You can then:

  - Click a screen name with the left mouse button to switch to it

  - Press 1-9 to switch to the corresponding screen

    (1 = first, 2 = second, etc.)

  - Press ESC or click the close gadget to dismiss the window

    without switching

  - Press F10 to quit ScreenPop

  

KNOWN INCOMPATIBILITIES

Protracker

  Protracker uses the middle mouse button internally. Calling

  ScreenPop using middle mouse while Protracker is frontscreen will 

  cause Protracker to crash. Use MMB=NO or omitline 2 from 

  S:ScreenPop.cfg when using Protracker. The hotkey works normally

  and is unaffected.
