Title: Is there any Taskswitcher utility?
Post by: awh on March 20, 2004, 11:09:11 am

I\'ve been looking for a taskswitcher program for my SL-5600 and found Tasklist applet 1.0.5, but unfortunately the download link is broken. (http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/showdetail.php?app=1134) Anyone knows where could I download it or any other taskswitching program? Thanks in advance.

Here is the sourceforge page for both sub applet and tasklist applet:

Many thanks, JP! If there were a keyboard-based taskswitcher...

Don\'t know of any keyboard-based taskswitcher.  Sorry

For a keyboard-based switcher, you can try KeyHelper, a keyboard remapping program that just happens to also have a built in taskselector.  There is a link to it and some information on setting it up available at: http://viz.aset.psu.edu/ga5in/SharpZaurus.html (http://viz.aset.psu.edu/ga5in/SharpZaurus.html)

I use it on my C760.  I\'m not sure if it will work on the 5600 or not, but it\'s worth a shot.  The keycodes for the 5600 are probably different, so you\'ll have to find a list of them, or you can try the KeyHelperConf app, which is available at: http://yakty.s31.xrea.com/linuzau/keyhelperconf/ (http://yakty.s31.xrea.com/linuzau/keyhelperconf/) (warning: Japanese page).

Just a quick mention - I included the task switcher functionality from Keyhelper in the latest version of IRK (v0.11.0).

Just got around to installing keyhelper on my 5600 and it works great. The Shift+Menu and Shift+Home for task switching is really good (Don\'t know how they get a list of visible apps, but it works!) as does the Home+key app launching. Feels like the hacks on my old Handspring again

Thank you to whoever updated the links on killefiz.de.... looked at the source for keyhelper and its a far more reliable method of finding out what\'s running.... might see if I can get round to updating the TaskList applet to use the same method.

I\'ve put a beginners guide to keyhelper in the howto area http://www.zaurususergroup.com/modules.php...0to%20KeyHelper (http://www.zaurususergroup.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=phpWiki&file=index&pagename=Introduction%20to%20KeyHelper)

I will add all the menu and other advanced stuff later this week, let me know if there is anything wrong or if you think something needs to be added
