APPENDIX A:
TIPS AND TROUBLESHOOTING
••••••
This section provides tips for using QuicKeys and describes
solutions for some common problems you may encounter
when using QuicKeys.
TIPS
• You can drag files to the QuicKeys Editor to create Open
Actions.
• You can drag text to the QuicKeys Editor to create Type
Text Actions.
• Speed up the process of creating and editing Actions by
unchecking the Show Setup Wizard introduction page and Always
use Setup Wizards for editing check boxes in the Options dialog.
See page 30 for more information.
• You can right-click an Action in the QuicKeys Editor and
choose Cut or Copy from the context menu that appears.
Then you can set the insert arrow in the Sequence Editor,
right-click and choose Paste from the context menu to paste
your Action into the Sequence.
• You can create a Windows Selector Action if you use a
laptop computer so that you can see all your open
programs without running out of room on the taskbar. The
Windows Selector Action is available in the Sequence Tools
submenu of the Create menu.
• Press Control+Tab to insert a tab in the Type Text Action
Properties dialog.
• If you have a scrolling mouse button between your right
and left mouse buttons do not use it to record your
Actions.
• If you use Web Launcher with the America Online (AOL)
browser, Internet Explorer is launched rather than the AOL
browser.
• If you want the hot help that appears over toolbar buttons
to be more descriptive, change the name of the Action
represented by the toolbar button. The hot help pop-ups
are filled by the information you provide in the Name field
of your Actions.
• Cut and paste URLs into the QuicKeys Editor to quickly
create Web Launcher Actions.
• Press Ctrl+Esc to stop Quick Type while it is typing text.
TROUBLESHOOTING
• Make sure you are very careful about assigning single keys
as your hot key triggers. For example, assigning the
Backspace key for the Open Microsoft Explorer Action
could get irritating after a few minutes. If you do attempt
to assign a single key as your hot key, QuicKeys displays a
warning dialog. The warning dialog is permanently
turned off if you check the Do not ask me this again check box
within the dialog.
• If you are using Windows NT, installation must take place
while logged in as an administrator or as a user with
administrative rights.
• If you are consistently having problems with the same
program when you are recording sequences, choose to
Disable smart recognition within the QuicKeys Controller
Action.
• You must have a sound card for the Multimedia Actions to
work properly.
