Launch config menu by one click?

andreas · 06 February 2005, 13:27

Something in this software is a bit awkward at times, especially that you have to use mouse, then switch to keyboard, mouse again, etc.

WinUAE could also have a way to launch configuration menu with a simple mouse click. Like some of you might know, you can now (in windowed mode) insert disks by simply clicking once on the track number shown on the WinUAE status line. This will only work if the mouse pointer is "unfrozen" from the "Amiga" window, e. g. by pressing middle mouse button (if configured).

There could either be a 'CONFIG' field on the status line, or nothing at all.
I mean, the user could either launch the config window by clicking on a CONFIG field located anywhere on the status line, or simply by clicking on the left-hand (free) area of the status line, i. e. the area left of the 'CPU: ... ' field.

But any of these solutions will be better than pressing F12 on the keyboard, again having to use the mouse to select menu item, etc

LOL

Nice tip, thanks

You have so many nice tricks built in there, but by far not all are covered in the README, so how should the user know

Toni is so lazy that for avoid implement stuff on request, he already has coded it all, all this betas display is a facade!
