JustEnter - One key to input everywhere (with plugin system)!

2009-07-10_130425.jpg
I noticed that people spend too much time flicking between programs each with their own search boxes, address bars, prompts, textareas etc. They can't learn several shortcuts for each of these programs. Now you only need to remember one!

HOW TO USE IT
appicon.pngPress the hotkey button (ยง by default - change via system tray -> preferences) and the main input field will be selected for the active application. Press the hotkey again to cycle through the remaining ones. Support for your favorite program can be added by creating an application definition. Update the program via system tray icon > preferences >  Help > Check for updates.

The following applications are supported in this version: Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Chromium, Firefox, Windows Explorer.

  • One smart shortcut to remember - hit it again to cycle through the application
  • Add your favourite applications by creating simple ini files
  • No learning curve
  • Customizable hotkey and Run at Startup option
  • DcUpdater Support

DonationCoder Temporary Emergency Backup Forum URL -- make note of it

blog clipart
Ok gothic (dc server admin) and I have set up a temporary bare bones backup forum on our member server, which will be enabled whenever the donationcoder.com main website or forum ever goes offline.

Please make note of this URL:


The idea behind this is to have a place where people can go to learn more and discuss problems if the main website/forum ever goes offline unexpectedly, or gets hacked, whatever.  It will provide both a place to chat while waiting for the main site to come back online, as well as a place to get updates about any problems affecting the main server.

This backup forum will only be enabled when the main website goes down, and when that happens you won't be able to find this message (except maybe through google cache) so please make a note of the URL now, and put it someplace safe.


Two Speedup tips for Firefox Web Browser from gHacks

blog clipart
From gHacks:

http://www.ghacks.ne...atabases-in-firefox/

http://www.ghacks.ne...imiting-the-history/

Very useful and works, especially the first one.
The second has been covered here before. But I don't recall the first tip about optimizing the database being discussed here at DC.

Made a good difference on FF for me. Much faster.
