Hi everyone,

I just got back from an out of town trip and, belatedly, learned of Eric's demise. Wow! And he was 14 years younger than I am. Such a pity. Everyone looses so very much when one is taken in their prime; and Eric, based on his command of just about everything he did, WAS in his prime. I wish I had been fortunate enough to have met him. I'm sure he'll be helping others from a better place than this.

A brief comment relating to this thread: I just wish we had an application like Compile-It™ for Rev. Too much to ask? Then we could create cross-platform externals as we did so easily, but just for HC. It would seem that, using the Compile-It™ source as a foundation would not make this an insurmountable task. But I guess I'm being a bit naive with this conjecture.

Let's hope that none of our other elder Revers join Eric too very soon. Stay healthy my friends. Take your vits and exercise. Do push- aways wih frequency.

Randall,

Unfortunately it seems you are looking for a high-level API to take care of a very low level job. There simply isn't an API for everything. You are probably going to have to get your hands dirty in C if this is your goal. If you know the OS APIs you want to tap into, you could work on building externals in C. If you don't, time to do some research =). You will definitely need to build separate externals for each operating system as well.

Maybe not what you were hoping for, but I hope that helps.

QuickKeys is cool... but it doesn't offer finder events as triggers for the execution of macros. There is no way, for instance, to tell it:

When a user saves any file, from any application, and the name contains "Entropy", then save an alias at "Hard Drive: My Entropy Docs:"
