MLHotKey Readme
---------------

by Mike Lin (mlin@monmouth.com)

MLHotKey is a quick-and-dirty utility that allows you to assign hotkeys
to any top level application. This means that once you assign a hotkey
to a window, you can switch back to that window using the hokey, which
is (usually) faster than the alt-tab chain.

It is the second in a series of small utilities I am making that help
make windows "that" much easier to work in for power users.

Instructions:

1. Start MLHotKey
2. Select the window from the list to which you would like to assign
   a hotkey.
3. Put the cursor in the text box above the command buttons.
4. Type the key combination that you would like to set.
   (e.g. Ctrl+Alt+I)
5. Press Set and you're done!

The hotkeys will "stick" even after you close MLHotKey. You can also
remove a window's hotkey by selecting the window and clicking "Remove".
The refresh button refreshes the list of windows.

There are some windows that will not accept hotkeys (Outlook 98 is
one), and not all key combinations will work. Sorry folks.

I didn't spend a whole lot of time making this (a few hours at most),
so I'm including the source in case anyone else wants to improve on it.

I said this was the second on my line of useful utilities. Well, the
first is called MCL. It's a command-line tool, like Start>Run but much
better. At the time of this writing, it's still a little rough around
the edges, but it's nevertheless very useful (and, according to several
users, better than the rest).
