InfoFloater

InfoFloater is primarily a launcher for KeyQuencer macros.

It consists of the InfoFloater app, KeyQuencer extensions, KeyQuencer macro suitcases and extensive documentation.

It allows you to execute KeyQuencer macros from pop-up menus or by mouse click on an item in a floating palette. Using a specific scripting language, both menus and palettes are highly customizable and can be set up to fit your personal needs and preferences.

Secondary, InfoFloater uses floating windows to display files of type 'TEXT', 'PICT', or 'rsrc', and a wide range of system information, i.e. on running processes, open files, individual files and folders, the contents of the clipboard, etc. using drag-and-drop or menu commands.

Finally, InfoFloater can be set up to run application-specific macros on application switches, when an application launches or quits, or is brought to the front or switched to the background.

Note: InfoFloater scripts are intended to be executed from KeyQuencer, but it is also possible to embed them in AppleScript, using a do script command.
