Winkey

Winkey support in Tucnak

This page is intendended to be a fast add on for the user manual, native Winkey support is still very experimental (v2.18) and may not work for you, but may work for someone else but me :-)

Due the lag of a working sample, Lada could only add a "blind" implemation of the Winkey command set (tnx for that!), so don't blame him for any problems. --Dl5ybz 13:04, 29 October 2008 (CET)
