cmlx,
Obvious observation, but when I created this thread, I asked for suggestions for using Apt w/Treo…..
If you like it, & have chance to influence users in China, then you should… the more the registrations, the more chance Pent will be working on that todo list…

The todo list of apt is so big…

Treo 650 works well via BT hotsync.

I wish I were that clever - I will probably add the tap on exit, but I am completely ignorant on setting the variables. I'm taking baby steps, but I am interested in learning.

Interesting on the resets.
You could try adding a tap on Done as part of the Exit.
If you're really clever, you could set a variable when you enter the Edit mode form, and only tap on done on Exit if the variable
is set [exercise for the reader].

Hi all, I'm no longer Anonymous -
The Option button would be a nice addition, because I prefer to assign this particular macro to the Option button, but I have found my way around it - for anyone else that may be wondering, here is my solution to enable/disabling KeyCaps for use in Memos:
-
-Lnch > App > KeyCaps
& > Ctrl > Tap 1001
& > App > Memos
Exit > App > KeyCaps
& > Ctrl > Tap 1002
& > App > {your preferred launcher or application}
I really want to engage KeyCaps on an "as needed" basis in Messaging, Blazer, Calendar, etc, and for me, the Option key just logically fits. So until that time, I'll just do long presses of Hardkeys.
ALSO, The resets were caused when I exited Memos while in edit mode. To prevent resets, I click Done before closing Memos and no more resets at launch.

I have a user with a 680 (always that one!) who's Apt gets disabled everytime after a hotsync.
Does any other 680 user have the same ? I think it's a bluetooth hotsync being done.
TIA,
Pent

OKOK, persistence pays, I promise to look at Option press and hold for next release :-) Don't promise it will work!

I would like to do more with time triggers, but these are a bit limited now. Any plans to expand the functionality?
Ability to schedule different days of the week.
Execute MacroPlay macros.
Ability to wake up palm correctly when Macro executes.

Its nice to see that there is still activity on this forum! :)
I convinced my dad to buy Apt, and I will try to find even more buyers because I dont want Pent to stop working on this fantastic tool!

I went forward and made the purchase, however, I still think a press and hold of the Option key would go a long way towards making it even more flexible.

This is a good suggestion Anonymous - "Me Again", but would only be practical for everyone if there is the option for a delayed press. An option for using the "Alt" key as a trigger could also be useful.
Then we need options for press & hold of Home and Menu buttons.
Not always a good idea to make options specific to one make of PDA.
Goodness, people will be asking for an iPhone version of APT soon. ;-)

Me again -(I'll sign up soon)
What would really be nice and would really help me out is the ability to use the Option key as a trigger. If I could assign a macro to a single press of the Option key, I would buy it tonight.
Is this ability currently possible?

I reinstalled, and have had no crashes:) this is encouraging.
"Exit trigger in profile" but where?
Scenario:
I launch Memos, Apt then launches KeyCaps, enables it, then takes me to Memos. When I exit Memos, I press the Home button which takes me back to TreoLnchr (my default launcher).
Where would I put the Exit trigger to launch KeyCaps and then disable it with a Ctrl tap 1002?
If I put what I think should be the proper triggers under the TreoLnchr profile, I end up in a never ending loop.
Under TreoLnch profile I have:
-Lnch > App > KeyCaps600
& > Ctrl > Tap > 1002
& > App > TreoLnchr

Should just be an Exit trigger in the Memos profile.

I'll try that…I'm pretty sure I didn't have any other triggers, but I'll reinstall and try again.
while I have your ear, is there a way to make Apt disable KeyCaps upon exit of Memos?
I want KeyCaps to enable when I launch Memos, and then disable once I exit Memos.
How would I set the triggers to do this?

I tried this on both Tx and Treo 650 but couldn't get any sort of problem to occur.
Perhaps you have other related triggers.
You could try backing up AptDB, then delete it and add in just the three lines you quoted to see if something
else is interfering.

-lnch/app/keycaps
&/cntrl/tap/1001
&/app/memos
Works as expected the first time. but subsequent launches of Memos crashes. Treo error log was empty, so no error code to report.
Later, all preferences got hosed, and I had to load from a good backup.
