Default Re: Beginning MTH v2

Quite honestly, I use it for it's ability to bring the table with focus to the front and that's it and it does it with great success.

This is the type of application that could get over complicated though and end up going in a million directions...

My only thought is to add things that are specific to what the core was built for which I stated above.

I currently use autohotkey to assign any keys or mouse buttons etc to perform the neccesary table action required.

I know that you have something like it set up. I would like for that to be something we can assign the keys(hot keys) to on our own, maybe simple code for us to write key macro's or just allow us to pick the assignment.

I think this would remain within the scope of the core application and not over complicate the product for you or us. I say for you, but programming a way to assign keys may be over the top in the programming dept, not sure.

A for instance is right now I play NL and I broke my mouse so I have assigned when playing, the arrow keys on keyboard to hit the needed buttons. So when your app brings a window into focus

Left arrow is fold
Down arrow is check or call
Right arrow is bet

Left and Down arrow is check or fold if bet
Up and Right arrow is raise(hold up arrow and hit Right arrow until the amount you want to bet is in the box and then let go of both and hit Right arrow again to confirm the bet)

This set up for me keeps most movements for both limit and NL in a very small geographic area on the keyboard.

But if I every want to change, it's as easy as opening autohotkey and reprogramming it.

What I'm saying I guess is that this would be a wonderful addition for most people who don't want to learn how to use another program like autohotkey... consolidation is the word I'm looking for, consolidate things that relate to your core.

Not asking you to open source, maybe just set up a way to do this in the .ini file or have a seperate app(module) to do the macro's etc...

I will say that using something other than a cursor to hit the buttons does cause the verification screen to pop once in a while, they want to make sure there is some one on board that vessel... [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Did I say great job yet, you truly filled a niche that I'm sure is large for multitablers lacking multiple 1600X1200 screens etc... If you don't get it to the masses soon I'm sure someone will steal the basic concepts as I'm sure they could all be done in autohotkey alone, although as good as .net I don't know.

Good Job
Good Job
Great Job ! ! !

Ok I'm done rambling LOL [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
