This allows the user to force the Command Menu to + appear in sorted order (as opposed to the default which is to + display commands in the order they are defined). + +- It is now possible to temporarily assign the current directory + to any of the Directory Shortcut keys. The user presses + KEDIRSCSET (default: Control-8) and is presented with a dialog + to enter which of the 12 Directory Shortcut keys to load with + the current directory. This allows directory waypoints to + be saved as shortcuts during the user's workflow. The shortcuts + revert to the definitions found in the Configuration File if + the program is exited and restarted or if a configuration + reload (default: Control-r) is initiated within the running + program. + +- A new configuration verb, ASSOC, has been added to implement file + "Associations". Associations allow the user to define which program + to start when the user selects a non-executable file and does a + mouse doubleclick or presses "Enter". For example, this + configuration statement associates files whose names end with the + string ".text" with emacs: + + ASSOC .text emacs [SELECTION] + + There is also provision for a "default" association that is invoked + if the user double-clicks or presses "Enter" on a non-executable + file that has no specific association defined for it: + + ASSOC * MyFineEditor [SELECTION] + + The right-hand-side of association statements can make use of almost + all of the 'twander' configuration language features such as runtime + prompting, symbolic variable substitution, execution variables, and + so forth. + + +CHANGES & BUG FIXES + +- The default mouse assignment to popup the shortcut menu (MOUSESC) + has been moved to Alt-Control-LeftButton. This was necessary + because the previous assignment interfered with the mouse command to + move up a directory level (MOUSEUP). + +- The "Shortcut Key" help menu has been removed. It was redundant + with the identical menu on the menu bar and mouse popup menu. + +- The titlebar status strings have been shortened to keep to overall + title length more reasonable. + +- Selected help menus have now been formatted into 3 columns (as + opposed to the previous 2 column format) to make long help screens + fit on the display better. + +- A new help menu, "Associations" has been added to display any + user-defined Associations (as described above). + +- The order of the help menus has been changed to be slightly more + intuitive (to the author anyway :). + + +DOCUMENTATION + +- The new features and changes are reflected in the manual. + +- The example Configuration File (.twander) now contains examples of + "Execution Variables". These were introduced in 3.193 but examples + were not included in the example configuration. + + + WHATSNEW For 'twander' 3.195 (Thu Feb 17 14:57:28 CST 2005) ----------------------------------------------------------------------
