InfoFloater is primarily a launcher for [KeyQuencer][1] 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.
