Re: Short cut keys for a menu option...

I had a chance to look at Autohotkey last night but I'm not sure it will
fit my needs. The issue I see is that as I switch views (ctl-F7) from
Lpex to the rse view it's not always a consistent number of keystrokes.

For example, if I had done a search and that tab remains open I may have
to ctl-F7 past that view as well before I reach the rse view. So the
number of times I need to press ctl-F7 to set focus to the rse view is
not consistent.

Perhaps you could use the menu instead of cycling through the views.
Send !wvrr{Enter}

Alt-w - Open the Window menu item
v - select the View option
r - select Remote System Details
r - select Remote Systems
Enter - end the script with the focus in the RSE view. You'd be running
Alt-l, j instead I think.

I post this for several reasons. One of course is to help you automate
scut work. One though, is to show that there's a... a mindset that
comes into play when scripting. I myself loved the ability to script
Code/400 using Rexx. But very few people seem to share my attraction
and I think it's a more a matter of unfamiliarity than anything else.
Those of us who haven't done much scripting can't readily see the value.
So I'm trying to show some value :-)
