Re: Go4Expert.com Toolbar for Firefox 1.5+ Add direct shortcut to each section, lets say i visit ethical hacking Q&D and ethical hacking Articles forum a lot, to access it i directly press the keyboard shortcut Suggested ways to Implement it :- Either you built in all the forums as a direct keyboard shortcut, by numbering them and let that number be displayed next to them in the menu, so we see it each time and memorize it, OR You let us decide the shortcuts for my frequent visited ones with an option button where you have a drop down bar like drop down = which section + ctrl + alt + shift + drop down = numbers (upto 99) Lets say i have ethical hacking Q&D = 11 then, ctrl + alt + shift + 11 = open ethical hacking Q&D in same tab ctrl + alt + shift + T + 11 = open ethical hacking Q&D in new tab why T? cause its at the center and ctrl+ t is shortcut to open new tab so its easy to memorize it.. Try if you can think of a better way to implement Tabbed, as it will get difficult to press so many buttons... specially something like ctrl + shift + alt + t + 10 (try pressing ) Also i think you should remove that info tag "Go4E Main Menu" when cursor is idle on menu, as a lot of times its overlapping the submenu and anyway we know its the main menu so it has no meaning... (you decide) i think thats it with all these features it will be pretty much the whole G4EF on our toolbar and on our keyboard... oops i added it here please move it to bugs forum
Moved. I remember when I used to play Mortal Kombat 4 (very old game), I had to remember key sequences as long as the ones you mentioned It's a pain. I'll see if I can add some "Mouse-Action"
Re: Go4Expert.com Toolbar for Firefox 1.5+ That was a mistake. I'll correct that. Yeah Thanx for your suggestions on improving the toolbar.
oh yeah, man so many moves and that too each one has a different action, i use to stick to one player and remember his move, i forgot his name though... :p ok lets see your mouse action but don't forget new tab and same tab, as thats important and try to keep it simple...
Huh .. I have been trying to get the requested features implemented, but I can't There are so many issues : (1) FF does not support keyboard events on menus. (So, CTRL+ENTER on menu, can't be done ) I can try to write some JS to achieve that, but .. I haven't been able to, yet. (2) Multiple key-sequences (like CTRL+SHIFT+A+B) are not supported in FF. Again, JS can be used to define macros, but that would take some time. So Ver.1.5 might be late. ( very late, actually ) But, I might upload Ver.1.45 with some issues fixed like : (1) The annoying info tag is gone. (2) The search box can now be accessed with keyboard.
hmmm....what about the mouse driven actions you said you might implement? take your time bro...its ok..
hey saswat i have an idea, what about instead of combinational keys i.e. ctrl + shift + alt + g etc etc can we have shorcuts for forums as a sequence like ctrl then i press shift then i press alt then i press 09 (got this idea from gmail, if you are checking any email, press g and then i = takes you back to inbox, g and i not to be pressed simultaneoulsy but in a sequence, thus even if sequence is a little longer its ok as a long as i don't have to press them simultaneously) This way new tab and same tab problem is also solved!! ctrl -> shift -> alt -> 09 = same tab some forum ctrl -> shift -> alt -> t-> 09 = new tab some forum How is the idea? ps - for gmail your keyboard shortcut option should be enabled in settings
OMG !! Finally .. I made it I can now assign key sequences like C, then + then + to goto the C++ Q&D sub-forum. Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !!!! :hurray: :happy: :nice: Version 1.5 coming soon
mayjune bro, can you suggest me some systematic scheme for assigning key sequences .. .. like may be G 1 takes you to Go4Expert home-page .. and G 2 1 1 1 --\ G # 2 # 1 # 1 # 1 takes you to : ##x|##|#xx|##\-C/C++ ##x|##\#xx+- Programming ##x|##x-Articles/Source Codes Forum URLs
will think and tell you... i am glad you got it.. ps - make it version 2.0 as it has come a long way from 1.0 and its pretty much everything we would need
It was pretty tough task to add all those keyboard shortcut JS code. But, I made it .. :happy: OK. I'll number that as Ver.2.0
I don't believe, the toolbar is so cool and handy now. :happy: :nice: (*) Added timeout for Key Sequence. (*) Added real-time view of Key-Sequence (Cool) (*) You are free to kick your mouse away now ! @ mayjune : Bro, did you get any better idea or I should implement the scheme I mentioned ?? 2morrow is a Sunday, so I'll upload the final version of the toolbar 2morrow.
Sorry for the delay, wasn't home since last post... What i thought was instead of numbers, can we have shorthands for forum we want to visit? See what i noticed was we need not have shortcut for every link like forum feed url, as we do that once in a while...(rest you do though) so what i thought lets say i want to goto c/c++ forum of Article... so you press S->A->C->P->P (s = same tab, for new tab N->A->C->P->P) you need not have p for programming as we can have unique shorthand for cpp itself!! that way its easy to remember as numbers we might forget but cpp everyone will remember!! if we had to go for new tab in Question and Discussion, N Q C P P Now if you like this idea, i have questions can we have varying length shortcut or you need to have fixed length as above is of 5 length? that way for VB it can be just S A V B for vb in same discussion... think about it, but i think we should have some abbreviation in shorthand so its easy to remember for home page N G 4 E F where this will open home page in new tab and yeah one more thing, add a help button, in which you give what all the details of how to use shortcuts, what shortcut is for what, right click left click and and all the features currently supported by the version. That way if we forget we don't have to come back to forum to check.... give me a feedback on the idea, what you liked, can we have varying length, and how you would like to implement it, don't upload it tomm, lets be sure that this goes perfect, then you upload the 2.0
Why not ? You can have sequences of varying length too ! OK. I'll add a help button I like the idea. I'll implement it and upload it soon. Today, I have also implemented a kind of fault-tolerance in the key sequence input. What that means is, suppose you want to enter S A V B. And.. you hit S then X instead of A. Now, unless there is some sequence like SX*, your X won't be accepted and you can enter A without starting from S again ! Isn't that cool ?? So, your sequence will be SXAVB which will have the same effect as SAVB
thats really great saswat! That feature will be quite helpful,I am quite impressed the way you have worked on this stuff. Btw when we press X by mistake i.e. a letter which is not in sequence add a beep so that it gets our attention we made a mistake... check if its not irritating, if it is then leave it, if it actually helps then only add it.. Not now but soon people will use your toolbar a lot, now since its really handy Ok here's the list of abbrev i have thought of... Code: S/N + A/Q + FORUM NAME SHORTHAND C/C++ = cpp ALP = alp Java = java VB = vb MFC/Win32 = mw C# = cs Perl = perl Oracle = orac [URL=http://www.go4expert.com/articles/introduction-sql-server-t34535/]SQL Server[/URL] = sql MySQL/PostGRESQL = msql PHP = php ASP/ASP.NET = asp JSP = jsp HTML/DHMTL = html Marketing = mrktn Web Design = webd Web Hosting = webh Ethical hacking = hack Game Prog = game Windows = win Unix/LInux = unix Engg Concepts = engc Search Engine = sengg Prducts Reveiew = prodr JobSeeker = jobs Job Offer = jobo Freelance Marketplace = fmrkt SEO Forums = seo Link Popularity = linkp Google = google Hardware = hw S/N + FORUM NAME SHORTHAND Information Tech = it Announcement = anc Monthly Artciel Competition = mac Member Comptn = memc 1$ Comptn = 1dc Code Competition = cc Introduce Yourself = intro Your Vote Counts = vote Suggestion and Feedback = sugg Newsletter Archive = news Help n Support + Announcements = help Home Page = g4ef Today's Post = tp Unanswered Posts = up Check for newer version = check suggestion and bug reports = bug Where S stands for Same Tab N stands for New Tab A stands for Article Q stands For query and discussion Just check all of them before uploading since its variable length some maybe prefix of other, though i checked but i didn't see any, and if you feel you get a better shortcut change it to that i think this will be THE Ultimate toolbar!!! Yo Man! lolzz
OK. I'll try that Thanx. I too hope so. But, I haven't had a feedback from shabbir since a long time. Changed the following, and applied the rest : (*) MFC/Win32 = mfc ( instead of mw ) (*) Monthly Article Comptn = aotm ( AOTM = Article Of The Month. mac doesn't fit well ) (*) Newsletter Archive = news ( instead of news, some might confuse with IT news ) (*) Freelance Marketplace = freel ( instead of fmrkt, I thought that one is hard to remember ) And, I also modified your list to look somewhat better (inserted space, changed font etc..). So, the final list of shortcuts is : Code: [FONT=Fixedsys] [U]Prefix ::[/U] S/N + A/Q + [SIZE=2] [U]FORUM NAME[/U][/SIZE][SIZE=2] [U]SHORTHAND[/U][/SIZE] C/C++ cpp ALP alp Java java VB vb MFC/Win32 mfc C# cs Perl perl Oracle orac SQL Server sql MySQL/PostGRESQL msql PHP php ASP/ASP.NET asp JSP jsp HTML/DHMTL html Marketing mrktn Web Design webd Web Hosting webh Ethical hacking hack Game Prog game Windows win Unix/LInux unix Engg Concepts engc Search Engine sengg Prducts Reveiew prodr JobSeeker jobs Job Offer jobo Freelance Marketplace freel SEO Forums seo Link Popularity linkp Google google Hardware hw [/FONT][FONT=Fixedsys][U]Prefix ::[/U] S/N +[/FONT][FONT=Fixedsys] [U] FORUM NAME[/U] [U]SHORTHAND[/U] Information Tech it Announcement anc Monthly Article Competition aotm Member Comptn memc 1$ Comptn 1dc Code Competition cc Introduce Yourself intro Your Vote Counts vote Suggestion and Feedback sugg Newsletter Archive newsl Help n Support help Home Page g4ef Today's Post tp Unanswered Posts up Check for newer version check suggestion and bug reports bug[/FONT] Thanx :happy: I have added so many features, now I really hope there won't be many bugs in Ver.2.0.
goto url bar type naruto....keyboard shortcuts interfere with it goto search box right of url bar, do same goto google toolbar (if you have one) and type there in its search box, same problem goto search bar in G4EF toolbar, same problem!!! it doesnt interfere when i type in google.com but in some tool bars it does....
Currently open bugs/feature requests : (1) Beep on invalid key press. (2) Option to stay in the current tab when new tabs are opened. (3) Persistence of settings (4) Avoiding interference by combos while typing -- almost solved
