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!
Screenshot:
 
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.
