You know this situation: You've just finished a project for a customer who's only had DOS-programs before. Everything's installed and ready to go (You did a great job this time, nothing can go wrong...). Then, the first (very brave) user tries it. Everything goes fine until - he finished entering a field and presses enter to go to the next one. You'll spend hours telling them to use the tab key instead of enter, but they won't get it. They keep complaining about how bad that new program is, how much faster they worked with their old program. At this point, there are two solutions:

  • Post a question in the newsgroups, discuss for days about pro's and con's of letting the user get it or not, finally be pointed to one of the many templates. Then you'll put that extension templates onto every single procedure you have, recompile, go back to the customer and try it again. Or:
  • Install EnTabber.

EnTabber is a program that let's the enter key work like tab SYSTEM-WIDE (except: DOS-boxes): Not only in your programs, but in every program that's active (Explorer, Wordpad, everywhere). And it resides in the system tray to be accessible very fast (can be turned on / off by a single mouseclick). So, every user can decide when (and when not) to have the enter key act like tab was pressed.

New in version 1.1: Pressing Ctrl+Enter acts like normal Enter - to be able to activate buttons, menu items and so on...

And: It's free. So why don't you download?

Features:

  • system-wide Enter/Tab replacement
  • Clarion 5, 32bit
  • tray enabled
  • freeware!

You'll never see much of EnTabber, only what's in the system tray. The green symbol means that EnTabber is active; when you turn it off that'll be shown by a red symbol.
