ClicKey 1.0.2128.3
A small tool that will asign a sound to your keyboard keyShortly before writing ClicKey I purchased a small sub-notebook computer. The Toshiba Libretto's keyboard is not full size, and I found that sometimes I would press a key and feel the rubbery mechanical "snap", but the key would not register electrically. Letters were missing. So I decided that I needed a bit of aural feedback to confirm when any key was received.
I "Googled" and looked around the Internet for an appropriate bit of freeware to solve the problem and give my keyboard a click sound, but I was unable to find anything suitable. So I decided to write my own ultra-small "GRC style" solution in assembly language. I rolled up my sleeves and ClicKey was born not long after.
My desktop machines all have clanky older-style "Northgate"
keyboards using wonderfully noisy "ALPS" keyswitches, but I have seen that other laptop and most recent desktop keyboards are "too quiet". So I thought that perhaps other people might want to add a bit of aural feedback to their laptop and desktop typing experience.
ClicKey is a small tool that will asign a sound to your keyboard key.
Here are some key features of "ClicKey":
Choose from among 26 built-in sounds.
· ClicKey contains 26 built-in percussive typing sounds. Some are classic typewriter sounds, others are subtle short clicks, beeps, and boops, while others are more attention-getting and might be appropriate for an on-screen keyboard or public kiosk.
Independent volume control.
· Since you might prefer ClicKey's clicks to be almost subliminal, its sounds can be made as quiet as you like.
On-screen user-interface, or invisible startup shortcut.
· To keep ClicKey as lightweight (just 42 kbytes) and unobtrusive as possible, I designed it to be launched from a Windows shortcut (probably placed in the "Startup" group) containing its sound specification commands (see details below).
Heard and not seen.
· No advertising splash screen and nothing in the Windows ...
