Title: Control+Tab Key Combo, other small stuff...
Post by: jokeyrhyme on October 04, 2006, 04:06:34 AM

Hi,

I love aMule so keep up the good work. I've just got some ideas for the GUI side of things.

One thing I noticed is that Control+Tab does nothing in aMule. Usually this switches between the different windows in a program. For example, in Firefox, Control+Tab switches tabs.

Could I suggest that Control+Tab switches between Networks, Searches, Transfers, Shared Files, Messages and Statistics?

I realise that aMule is mostly mouse driven anyhow, but this could make quick checks a keyboard-only manoeuver. Personally, I usually leave aMule on the Statistics screen, but regularly switch to and from the Transfers screen.

Also, on the toolbar, perhaps the Preferences, Import and About section could be right / bottom justified?

Hope these suggestions are helpful.

ctrl-tab switches desktops here.

The amule gui really needs better keyboard control.As it is now it is unusable without touching the mouse.

Yeah amulecmd works OK, although because of its nature you can't monitor downloads/speeds/search etc too easily.Amuleweb was probably the best alternative last time I used it especially when using the detach function of Opera and my own custom shortcuts.Haven't been able to get it working lately though because of some (likely) misconfiguration on my part, though.

to Kry:
Doesn't have to be ctrl-tab, although preferably that would be the default.
