Does Keybreeze contain spyware or
other forms of advertisements?
Not at
all. Keybreeze contains no spyware and does not even include
advertisements in the program.
How much disk
space does Keybreeze require?
When you download Keybreeze, the
installation file is 3.31 MB. After you install Keybreeze,
you can delete the installation file if you wish. Once
Keybreeze is installed, the entire program and all of its components
only require 10 MB of space.
Is 10 MB a lot of disk space
to use?
Not at all. It is just about
the size of two MP3s.
How much memory does Keybreeze
use?
Keybreeze uses between
1,500 K and 10,000 K of RAM. This is very low for a Windows
program. On a system with 512 MB RAM, Keybreeze takes
up less than 2% of memory. If you use Windows XP, you
can compare the memory usage of running programs by pressing
Ctrl + Alt + Delete - Task Manager - Processes. Keybreeze
does not execute any code or run any timers when you are not
using it. The only exception to this is note reminders, but these only execute a few lines
of code every minute. They have no effect on
system performance.
I heard about
a feature and can't find it in the program. Where can
I find it?
There are a few places you can
look:
-
Press F1 after you press
the hotkey to open the summary of entries.
-
Run through the tutorial
(keyword: menu > Help)
-
Check the
feature list page.
-
Search the forums.
Can I install
Keybreeze on a USB flash drive?
Yes! But don't install
the regular version on a USB flash drive. A specific version
of Keybreeze has been made to work on USB flash drives.

How do you delete a note?
You can delete a note by double-clicking
the text or background to make it 3D. Then, right-click
note and clicking Delete.
How do you use the Insert Text Function?
You can use the Insert Text function
by opening the Command List and clicking the Other Features
button. The Insert Text function will let you create your
own functions that let you insert custom text or the date and
time into any document or e-mail message.
How do you use the Automatic Catalog for
custom folders?
The Automatic Catalog will scan
your desktop, start menu, and quick launch, and Keybreeze will
automatically add keywords to files within these folders.
In Keybreeze 2.0, you can now have Keybreeze scan other folders
in addition to your desktop, start menu, and quick launch.
Let's say you want Keybreeze to add keywords to all of the files
in your My Documents folder. You open the Automatic
Catalog and add this folder to the custom list of folders.
You can open the Automatic Catalog
by right-clicking the Keybreeze icon in your system tray and
clicking Options.
I'm
getting an error message right when I load Keybreeze
If the error message says something about a missing/outdated
file, visit
http://www.keybreeze.com/missingfiles.html.
From this site, you can download necessary Windows files that
are needed to operate Keybreeze.
I can't see Keybreeze. How
do I reset the position if it is off the screen?
Right-click the Keybreeze icon
in your system tray (the icon is next to the clock in the bottom
right corner of your screen). Click Options. Click
the Skins category. Select any of the skins to reset
Keybreeze's position.
The
hotkey is not working.
First thing to do is to verify
that the hotkey is turned on. Right-click the Keybreeze
icon in your system tray and make sure Turn Off Hotkey does
not have a check mark next to it. If it does, just click
it to turn the hotkey back on. The hotkey you are hitting
may be different than what is configured in Keybreeze.
Type "options" as a keyword in Keybreeze to open the Options
screen. Click the Hotkey category in the left panel,
and double check that the hotkey you are using is listed in
Keybreeze. For some reason, the Pause/Break hotkey does
not always work with Windows 2000. If you use Windows
2000 you can change the hotkey to a different key from the Options
screen.
The
screen saver keyword causes the computer to standby.
This problem has happened in Windows
ME, but it should work with other versions of Windows. I have
not yet figured out why this causes the computer to standby,
but it will hopefully be fixed in the next version of Keybreeze.
You can check for Keybreeze Updates by right-clicking the Keybreeze
icon in your system tray and clicking Check For Update.
I'm getting
an error message when I change the skin color of font text.
If you are getting an error message,
you might try downloading comdlg32.ocx to your Windows/System
folder. You can download this file by going to http://www.keybreeze.com/missingfiles.html.
If your internet browser asks if you want to save or open the
file, select save. Then save the file to your System folder.
This is usually C:\windows\system32 or
C:\windows\system.
Add
keyword to Keybreeze menu method returns shortcut path, rather
than full target.
When you right-click a file or
folder, the Add keyword to Keybreeze menu item is supposed to
return the target to the actual file. However, if this returns
the target for the shortcut, it is either because of an error
in the registry or a program you may have used in the past to
tweak Windows settings. An example of a program that causes
this is one that removes the arrow from shortcut icons. To fix
this error, try adjusting the program's settings, or uninstall
the program if all else fails.
My
macro stops before finishing./How do I stop a macro that is
playing?
If a macro stops playing suddenly,
it might be because the stop key was pressed when you recorded
the macro. Not pressed to stop the recording, but pressed
accidently -- if you pressed the key as a shortcut key to another
program. Changing the stop key to a different key should
fix this problem.
The stop key will stop the recording
and playback of a macro. The default stop key is F12.
How do I restore
preset keywords?
If you deleted a preset keyword
and want to restore it, you can do by opening the Command List
(right-click the Keybreeze icon in your system tray and click
Command List). Then click the Add
button. For the keyword name, you can really type anything,
but you will probably want to name the keyword the same as it
was before. The target for the keyword must be one
of the following:
