<h2><img class="icon" src="icon.png" alt="icon" /> Future direction [Features planned]</h2>
<p>
- <strike>Currently, the log file just has everything dumped into it as keyboard input is received.
- This means that when you type something in say, notepad, then alt-tab into word, then write an email,
- then come back to notepad, the log file has all that input mixed in, so while it is not lost, it is hard
- to retrieve in "original condition". </strike>
- </p>
- <p>
- I plan to enhance the logging capability so that it splits the keyboard input by window, and then create
- a log viewer, where you can search by date, application name, and window title. So that you can, for example,
- say "show me what I typed in all notepad windows yesterday", or "show me what I typed in word document titled 'some stuff'".
- </p>
- <p>
- Another feature I plan for the log viewer is to have an option to parse the backspaces and arrow keys to recreate
- the final output, rather than have a bunch of [Backspace] and [LeftArrow] text in the log. Of course, if you want that
- to be particularly useful, you have to try to refrain from using the mouse to reposition your cursor :).
- <p>
- Of the above ideas, the enhanced log capability has already been implemented. Progress! :)
- Any other ideas, or contributions to the code, are highly welcomed.
