I have used this module some time ago. I think it's not finished yet and the documentation is almost inexistent. Some features seens to be not implemented too.

This module is finished but there is no doc, thats right.

ask me for what you want to do and I can answer, or use the interneal User interface to set it (module has to be loaded)

enter in LSXCommand:
!shortcut core configure

than it will popup an shortcut3 interface

Thank for the trick, I'm taking a look a this...
Seems to be excellent :)

Humm, I had been confused with alphaTrans and alphaMap (is the doc right about these ?)

Posted by member 7223 on 2003-08-28 00:18:32 link

How can I set shortcuts OnBottom (I mean behind other modules) ?

Posted by member 32550 on 2003-08-28 05:59:55 link

*shortcutEx z-order notopmost
*shortcutEx flags alphaMap


this can be set for each shortcut or in a whole s-cut group.
the imgae of alpha shadet images has to be *.png cause bmp cannot use alpha shading :). also not ev ey gfx editor is able to save alpha shadet web trancparency :)

we've created a long time ago a tutorial Theme for Shortcut3 so perhaps this might help you if youre takin a look at the shortcut3.rc in the config folder.
http://www.ls-universe.info/download/theme/shortcut3_tribute.zip

this theme is not beautiful (it shouldn't) but it includes nearly all the stuff that shortcut3 is able to to

Thanks a lot ls-universe, that will help a lot.

Posted by member 32550 on 2003-08-28 10:49:35 link

no problem :)

hope to see soon something of what you've done :)

Posted by member 7223 on 2003-08-29 09:50:10 link

Humm, I've already tried notopmost and modules stand below the shortcut. I've tried things like
*ShortcutEx z-order after systray "" -1
but it doesn't work

Posted by member 32550 on 2003-08-29 10:28:25 link

*ShortcutEx z-order after "shortcutcaption" "class" "windowname" -1

(the + and - ... try it out, we don't know *lol*)


otherwhise try to load the module after shortcut3.dll (may also help)

i got my shortcut3 configured and running perfect for several months now because of your tutorial theme - so i'd like to say thank you guys :) (by the way, the confusing file supposed to be the shortcut3 readme makes some sense and can even be useful once you've understood the module ;) )

Posted by member 7223 on 2003-08-30 01:18:23 link

No way :(
I'll keep using layercut and its #K (non-clicable) for a while

I'm glad to hear that we could help you and hope to see soon you work :)

have a nice day :)

well, here I am playing again with shortcut3 and I can't do anything with bangs.
I want to hide a shortcut, then I've tried
!shortcut hello hide
!shortcut hello flags hide
!shortcut hello image .none
!shortcut hello image normal .none
!shortcut hello normal image .none

and I want to move shortcuts, then I've tried
!shortcut hello position 100 100


some clues ?

Posted by member 32550 on 2003-09-07 10:34:58 link

I don't know what you want to do with bangs, but a bang in a shortcut is like
*shortcutEX left command !bang


you forgot the EX

Posted by member 7223 on 2003-09-07 11:09:10 link

I just want to hide (like the old !shortcutgroupshow|hide) or move some shortcuts

Posted by member 32550 on 2003-09-07 11:23:13 link

I'm not sure bout the moving, but to create a group, write at the end of file:

*shortcutEx "group" "25"
*shortcutEx addToGroup NameOfShortcut1
*shortcutEx addToGroup NameOfShortcut2
*shortcutEx addToGroup NameOfShortcut3
*shortcutEx addToGroup NameOfShortcut4
*shortcutEx z-order top
*shortcutEx ~group


this is the group 25 and you can hide all with !shortcutgrouphide 25

Posted by member 7223 on 2003-09-08 06:15:12 link

yeah, I've just tried
!shortcutgroupshow hello
!shortcutgrouphide hello

and it works. Thanks

If someone have an idea about moving...

Posted by member 32550 on 2003-09-08 17:07:24 link

shortcuts are not moveable with a bang!!! take a look at the Shortcut]|[Tribute theme how we did it. another way is impossible :)

Posted by member 7223 on 2003-09-09 01:39:15 link

really bad news :(
i don't understand why you implement the ability to move stuff with the mouse but not with bangs
should i expect this to be on the todo list ?

Posted by member 32550 on 2003-09-09 04:45:16 link

aaahm..... I'm not the dev of the module :)

and as I know, noone will go on working on shortcut3

Posted by member 7223 on 2003-09-09 07:53:25 link

let's wait'n'see...
