The Optimus Mini Keyboard

[http://artlebedev.com/portfolio/optimus/] from last year. Now Art
Lebedev and his team have designed the Optimus Mini Three keyboard
[http://artlebedev.com/portfolio/optimus-mini/] . The 'Mini Three'
builds on the idea of those extraneous keys on modern Logitech and
Microsoft Keyboards but like the Optimus Keyboard utilises OLED
technology for visual customisation of keys. This is not vapourware,
pre-orders [http://artlebedev.com/portfolio/optimus-mini/answers/] are
being take now with a cut price until April 2nd. This is just a step
closer to the Optimus Keyboard. They also have a mailing list
[http://artlebedev.com/portfolio/optimus-mini/subscription/] for those
who want to keep up with developments of the Optimus Keyboard. Happy
salivating!" This is a far cry from the full keyboard, but it's still
pretty nifty. Assuming it actually does ship.

Hi, guys...I donwloaded the 30 day trial of this pluggin and have been
applying it against four books before I let it loose on my 14 books. The
thing with these four books is that each book has one or more files that
also appear in other books and every file has at least a book name
variable in the header.

Gotta admit...it works.

The only setup I perform is the first time I open a book, I need to
create an INI file (menu driven) that applies to that book, open the INI
in a text editor and define the BookTitle (and any other) variable.

Then, each subsequent time I open the book, I run
Pub-Tools->BookVars->ImportVariables.

All variables are updated. Takes about 10 seconds.

Scott...wanna make it 5 seconds? Assign a user-definable Hot-key
sequence to the ImportVariables menu option. Open the book, press keys,
updated.

I like it....Oh, and by the way...he includes active URLs in his emails.
