Text Capture FKEY

Text Capture FKEY is a software application that offers a unique approach to enhancing the performance of other applications or desk accessories. Unlike traditional methods of extending application behavior through system extensions, Text Capture FKEY applies patches directly to the source code. This approach allows for greater control over conflicts and memory bloat, as no existing resources are modified. If needed, patches can be easily removed without any negative impact on the underlying application.

One important note to keep in mind is that Text Capture FKEY is not compatible with PopupFuncs, as both use the same mechanism to access system run-time. Additionally, it is advised not to apply Text Editor Patches to Carbon applications. If attempting to use this feature on Mac OS 8 or 9, the application will crash on Quit. Meanwhile, on Mac OS X, these patches simply won't work.

Text Capture FKEY offers a variety of patches that can be easily applied to other applications or desk accessories. These options include the ability to paste pictures into SimpleText documents, add a windows menu to any application (including the Finder), display a menu of often-used documents (like stationery files), add a simple form of word-wrapping to a text editor, and define keystrokes for various TeX macros (contributed by Juan L. Varona). Overall, Text Capture FKEY is a valuable tool for those looking to improve the performance of their existing software applications.
