It's 20 years on, and Windows still doesn't have...

[acmn]

What I like in Amiga and what is still missing in Windows is the ability to program F-keys
(and other keys too) freely using Exchange and Fkey. E.g.: In my setup pressing F5 writes
my username and pressing F6 the password for amiga.org.

F1: Run program
      C:Avail flush >CON:0/0/208/88/Flush/WAIT/CLOSE

F2: Run ARexx script
      Work:REXX/CloseAllDrawers.rexx Work:REXX/CloseActiveWin.rexx

...

F12: Cycle screens forward

Well, anyway, the option is there and that's what I like...I like it...

[acmn]

Yes, I am aware of http://www.autohotkey.com/. But hey, that is not a commodity found
in Windows , it's a third part sw you have to install yourself...I wonder why...MK

[acmn]

Only said that this commodity is not included in Windows...that's all...

BTW, shouldn't we make difference between operating system and sofware that is running
on it. Software in Windows is great but os itself is not. It is clumsy. monolithic and too huge
...that is how I see it as a long time user...MK

[acmn]

By "monolithic" I mean that I can't see any organisation in C:\WINDOWS folder. It's a
total mess and I can't find any documentation to explain the meaning of folders
and files in it. Situation is totally different with amigaos...MK

[acmn]

I think the documentation is available for developers but what about
the "common man" who wants to be more familiar with the system?
When installling programs in Amiga I know exactly where the files go
(thanks for the well organised os and it's documentation) but in
PC I don't...

Some of you dudes have been so mean to me, so I withdraw.
Still think that Exchange&Fkey is a wonderful tool to tune your Amiga.
Over and out...MK
