This makes it much easier to work with text without reaching the mouse. The following key combinations are allowed: - shift + any arrow: extend the current selection. - option + left/right arrow: move to the previous or next word. - control + left/right arrow or option + up/down arrow: move to the beginning or end of the current line. - shift + option + any arrow: move like option + arrow while extending the selection. - option + delete: delete up to the beginning of the current word (or clear selection). - forward delete or shift + delete: delete the next character (or clear selection). - option + forward delete or shift + option + delete: delete up to the end of the current word (or clear selection). - clear: clear the current selection, if any. - option + clear: delete the current word (or clear selection). * The above tasks should usually be performed by applications, but many of them don't care. Better Edit Keys implements this default behavior in all situations where the application is not already taking care of it, but it does nothing if the application handles the keystrokes by itself. This means that the above keystrokes will not work if the application already handles them. For example recent versions of SimpleText handle the forward delete key by themselves, which also disables the option + forward delete keystroke provided by Better Edit Keys. There is no safe way to override the application's own handling of the keystrokes, so Better Edit Keys is only useful for applications that don't handle them and for generic text editing fields like the ones in dialog windows. New in version 1.0.1: - Added a Settings dialog to selectively enable or disable the editing keys, fixed a bug that made the control panel crash on some machines. This is $10 shareware.

It resolves the position, the speed and the acceleration of any point and any member. You can edit closed or opened chains, using blocked and movable points. Standard tools are available in a palette window to make easy editing. Every member or point could have indipendent time evolution. You control any kinematic quantity through an unlimited number of control windows adjustable on your screen. Some examples are bundled, like the model of a rod & crank in internal combustion engines, the core mechanism of a textile machine, the principle of motion-picture projectors. Help system is integrated with an AppleGuide. What's new in release 1.5.1 ? - PDF tutorial documentation added. - PDF reference documentation started, only for registered users. - serious bug removed that prevented 680x0 application to open PowerPC documents. - other minor bugs removed.

This is especially useful for programmers with projects that keep wanting to re-compile, despite not having any headers changed, but might help ordinary users who want to have a "clean" desktop; it may also be helpful for users of certain backup programs. Usage: drop files and folders on the icon. It will run through all the contents (without multitasking - hey, it's free :-) and touch only the files that need fixing. Please make sure that your clock is correctly set before using :-) Freeware. Use at your own risk only.
