Runny 0.3 Released

A new version of Runny works in Windows 7 and has some new nifty features.

I cleaned up command creation so there’s no need to prepend scripts and macros with a protocol-like keyword. Now to create a macro you can simply type:

new macro [macroname] [commands]

The same goes for script. Making “macro” and “script” sub-commands of new seemed like the most natural way to think of it.

I also added cascading parameters so a command can fall back on multiple forms of input when one doesn’t exist. For example:

new g http://www.google.com/search?q={$0|clip|prompt}

This will first look for a additional parameters after typing “g” and if none are found will check the clipboard for text data before straight out prompting for a search term. Using the pipe “|” you can string together these keywords in any order.

Lastly I added a special cliptext command ” {SLEEP n}” to pause the sending of keys for a set amount of milliseconds.

On the list so far for 0.4 is multi-tweeting, regular expression search & replacing, simple reminders & timers and extra help/command reference screens.
