SyMan Posts: 7 21/01/2010	SyMan Posts: 7 First of all, this thing is really cool - thanks for the very good work. I have a shortcut placed on a mouse button, which starts the SyMenu. One thing that's missing for me is that I can't close it with the same key, if I raised it by mistake and the SyMenu lost focus. In this case I have to click something in SyMenu that doesn't respond (the title) and after that I can use the "open" hotkey to send it back to the tray. This is a bit annoying while rest is very intuitive and fast. Maybe you could make the hotkey-switch work system-wide in one of the next versions? Thank you very much in advance. Greetings from Germany!

Gianluca Administrator Posts: 1274 21/01/2010	Gianluca Administrator Posts: 1274 Hello SyMan. I suggest you that when you raise by mistake your mouse shortcut, try pressing ESC key to make SyMenu disappear. Or create another shortcut to ESC key in your mouse. Regarding your request I have to evaluate the pros and cons of having the same shortcut for two different actions on SyMenu. Usually I consider very annoying this UI approach. For example I hate every program that allows to opens and closes its main window with a click on its task icon because if computer is temporarily busy, I click more than once on the icon because I don't receive feedback from the program. The result is that, when computer replies, main window program opens and close repeatedly. Hateful. Anyway I think about that and if anyone else agree or disagree with this approach please post a reply on this thread. Gianluca

SyMan Posts: 7 21/01/2010	SyMan Posts: 7 Hello Gianluca, thanks for your immediate response. The point is, that after SyMenu has lost its focus, it really sticks somewhere on top of the screen. So I have to call it once more (if I don't want to move there across a big screen, oh btw, I'm raising it at the mouse position) to click in it and then press ESC to get rid of it. SyMenu is really fast to work with, but if it's there and I don't really need it, it's a bit inconvenient to get it back to the tray. Why shoudn't the hotkey work like an on/off switch (like the windows key), if it's already an on-switch? But I understand your point, so maybe you could consider to implement both behaviours selectable in the config area? Anyway, with or without this feature it's the best program launcher around, not only for sticks!

SyMan Posts: 7 24/03/2010	SyMan Posts: 7 Hi Gianluca, I'm not sure, when exactly my switching problem ended but now it's gone and I can switch SyMenu on and off with the same hotkey. Was it just my recent upgrade to Win7 or was it a SyMenu upgrade that made me happy? Thank you very much! BTW - I have a another suggestion: I'm using quite a few hotkeys now and it would be nice to see them in the menu. If the menu became cluttered by this, a tooltip (maybe with some more information about the highlighted program) would do the job for me. Again - no "must have" for this excellent launcher, just something for you to consider.

Gianluca Administrator Posts: 1274 25/03/2010	Gianluca Administrator Posts: 1274 Well I think that could be a strange interaction between Win7 and SyMenu. The right behavior is: - press keyboard shortcut or click on SyMenu icon on notification area make SyMenu popup - press again or click again and SyMenu loses focus (and disappear for a second) but then it reappears I think that could be caused by shortcut set on your mouse. Another thing. When SyMenu popup it take the focus. In older SO (some versione of WinXP) this behavior could be problematic because SO doesn't manage correctly the called function and sometimes SyMenu can't take the focus even if it correctly appears. The right behavior is that when SyMenu popup it takes focus and appears on top of every other windows. When you click elsewhere in the screen SyMenu hides itself. Any other behavior is not wanted. Gianluca p.s. The tooltip with shortcut is a very good proposal. I put it on my ToDo list
