Today, I released a minor update to slimKEYS, version 1.2.8479. The three most important new features are:
- slimSEARCH: You can configure any web search entry to replace spaces by a specific character instead of the default “+”.
This is particularly useful for Wikipedia and Wiktionary searches, since those web sites require spaces to be replaced by an underline (“_”). As a matter of fact, the first time you run this new build, slimKEYS will automatically set this option “on” for entries pointing to “wikipedia.org” or “wiktionary.org”. If you have similar issues with other search targets, you’ll have to manually change them. - slimLAUNCH.Passwords: When managing password stores, you can rename categories and entries right from the tree view, and even drag and drop entries from one category to another.
- slimSMOKE: You can tell the hotkey handler to cycle through all combinations of dimming/blurring/off, instead of simply turning it on and off. Thus, when enabling this option, pressing Ctrl+Win+M actually changes the slimSMOKE status to:
- Dimming + Blurring
- Just dimming
- Just blurring
- Off
Another important change is regarding the trial message. Before, a notification pop-up appeared every 15 hotkeys you pressed. Now, every window will show a small clickable message at their bottom.
Rest assured, there is no time bomb in slimKEYS, and there will never be. If you like slimKEYS, but do not think it is worth 15$, you just have to tolerate this red message and ignore the end user license agreement… but don’t tell me! q;-)
For the rest of the changes, take a look at the complete history. By the way, how do you like the new web site look?
