Mjrusso Scoot Versions Save

Scoot now support multiple monitors! The grid extends across every screen, allowing you to quickly move your mouse cursor to any connected screen.

The following scenarios are all supported:

• adding new screen(s)
• removing screen(s)

Scoot also properly handles screen resolution changes now, too.

Scoot now has a menu bar icon (it's a scooter!), which exposes some (limited) functionality, and lets you know that the app is running.

One other change: if you invoke the cancel operation (by typing C-G or hitting Escape) and you are not currently in the process of typing a key sequence (i.e., you are not traversing the decision tree), the grid will now hide. (As always, if you are in the process of typing a key sequence and you invoke the cancel operation, the key sequence will reset.)

Scoot now provides visual feedback, which makes it feel a lot more satisfying to use.

Visual feedback:

• As you're typing a key sequence, any invalid cells (ones that can't be navigated to) are greyed out. Valid cells (and the keys that can still be pressed) are clearly indicated.
• If you accidentally type an invalid key, the screen will briefly flash.
• If you cancel an operation (by typing C-G or hitting Escape), the screen will briefly flash.
• When you move the cursor to a cell by typing a key sequence (navigating the decision tree), the cell you move to flashes briefly.

Scoot now runs as an agent application, so it doesn't appear in the dock, and doesn't have a menu bar. (This means that the app that is in the foreground when Scoot is activated retains its menu bar — and you can use Scoot to click on it!)

Other change:

• Improved legibility of grid labels, by rendering a semi-translucent black background underneath the entire grid, and by tweaking the starting alpha component of the labels themselves.

Initial release! 🎉
