Overview #

It is possible to create shortcuts in the program, which can call remote functions. Input parameters can also be set and the user will be informed about the result by a message box.

Input fields #

Menukey #

The shortcut ID. A unique value, can not be repeated.

Description #

The name set here will be displayed on the user interface.

Method #

When set GET, the program opens your default browser and hands over to it the given Address and also the input parameters if there were any. In case of a POST value, the program will contact the server (default host URL or Address), run the specified program (Funcname) and wait for the response.

Modul #

The shortcuts can also be displayed in groups. This feature is not supported by the current version of the program.

Icon #

Individual images can be assigned to shortcuts. This feature is not supported by the current version of the program.

The name of the server-side function which is called when the Method is set to POST. The server’s address and protocol will automatically be taken by the program from login data (eg http://localhost:8000/) or Address field value.

Address #

The full URL address if the the address differs from the server’s one. (eg https://www.google.com.)
