Terminology used in the manual

This manual uses the term 'button' to describe tappable rounded rectangular areas on the Palm display screen. 'Hardware buttons' refer to the four standard application buttons at the bottom of the organizer, the up and down buttons, power button, and contrast button on the Palm V or Palm IIIc. Lastly, 'silkscreen buttons' refer to the four round tappable areas printed below the Palm display screen on either side of the Graffiti writing area.

Installing

Windows:

Run SETUP.EXE, our easy installer program, follow the on screen prompts, and HotSync afterwards to complete the installation.

Other platforms:

Use the Palm Install Tool (Quick Installer) that comes in the Palm Desktop to install the program file TEALLNCH.PRC. Also install TEALMSTR.PRC if you do not already have it or another extensions manager on your organizer.

The Palm Install Tool comes installed on your desktop computer as part of your original software package, and is accessible from the Palm Desktop program as an icon on the left hand side.
Instructions on how to use the Palm Install Tool are in the Handbook that came with your Pilot, PalmPilot, or WorkPad.

This document also comes as a Palm document file LNCHDOC.PRC, which you can install and view with our program TealDoc.

Hacks and system extensions managers

On your handheld, TealLaunch will not appear by itself in the Launcher applications screen, but only inside your system extensions manager.

TealLaunch uses the Hackmaster-compatible Palm System Extensions standard. This is a safe and standard way to add and manage extended system functionality under PalmOS. We’ve included the non-expiring trial version of our own extensions manager TealMaster, but you may use Hackmaster (shareware) or X-Master (freeware) as well on devices running PalmOS 4 or earlier. On newer devices running PalmOS 5, you MUST use TealMaster, as no other system extensions manager except TealMaster are currently compatible with the new devices.

Uninstalling and Updating

Before updating or deleting a previous version of any TealMaster/Hackmaster system extension like TealLaunch, you must to disable the extension first in the TealMaster/Hackmaster control screen. Otherwise, the install will fail, and the handheld might crash after or during hotsync.

Chapter 1 – Using the Program

To start TealLaunch, run the TealMaster/Hackmaster application and check the checkbox next to TealLaunch in the list of system extensions. In TealMaster, if running for the first time, be sure to activate an active profile slot by first tapping on one of the letters in the upper right hand corner.

By default, TealLaunch is configured to pop up its launcher window when one of the following actions occurs:

· The pen is tapped on the silk-screened Calc/Favorites button (for devices with Graffiti writing areas)

· The voice recorder button is pressed (on Tungsten/Treo handhelds)

· The hardware contrast button is pressed (on PalmV handhelds)

These settings are fully configurable and changeable to match your own preferences. You can remove these mappings or map the popup window to other button presses, pen swipes, or combinations to suit your needs and device model.

On a Palm V, if the contrast button is pressed and held briefly before releasing, the normal contrast control will come up instead.

You'll no doubt want to heavily customize the program listings and key assignments for TealLaunch, but first here's an overview of the program and its screens.

Popup Window

The TealLaunch Popup Window contains programmable buttons for useful functions and a customizable list of apps for quick access. Note that if TealLaunch is not yet registered, the registration reminder covers up some of the space that is normally available for apps in the list.

Applications List

The applications list can either display a pre-configured static list of applications, or (alternatively) a list of the last twelve applications visited. You can scroll through the list of apps using the page-up and page-down hardware scrolling buttons, or using graffiti to enter the first letter of the app you'd like to select. Once an app is selected, you can launch it by pressing the 'Goto' button, if so configured. You can also tap it in the list with the pen or press a hardware or silkscreen button if you have that button configured to execute a 'Goto' command.

Action Buttons

The action buttons are optional, and are configurable in the Popup window, and can perform a variety of useful functions, including Cut/Copy/Paste, HotSync, Locking, Keyboard, Goto Previous App, Brightness, Contrast, and more.

Pushbutton/Stroke Mapping

TealLaunch supports a second “instant” method of launching applications and performing actions. In addition to the popup window, TealLaunch can be configured to launch applications or perform useful functions in response to specific hardware button presses, press-combinations, or pen strokes in the Graffiti writing area. Supported actions include:

Hardware button presses

Presses of hardware application buttons or device-specific buttons

Hardware buttons held down

Press-and-hold operations on hardware buttons

Hardware combos

Combination presses of hardware buttons pressed in sequence

Silkscreen buttons

Taps on the printed circular areas on the silkscreened writing area

Silkscreen swipes

Pen swipes between areas on the text writing area

Chapter 2 – Configuring Options

The TealLaunch configure window can be found inside the application TealMaster or HackMaster. Open it by starting the program and tapping on the '+' (plus) button next to the 'TealLaunch' entry in the list of system extensions.

Note: on color devices HackMaster does not currently correctly display the '+' and '?' buttons next to the system extension name, but the button areas are still present and function correctly when tapped. TealMaster, on the other hand, works properly.

The top of the configure window contains three choices for configuring TealLaunch’s popup applications list, its popup window buttons, and its instant activation mappings, perhaps the most powerful feature of the program. In addition, a ‘Popup Color’ button can be tapped to change the background color of the TealLaunch popup window as it appears on color devices from the default green.

Application List Entries

For a static applications list, you can add, remove, or sort applications and desk accessories from the application list. Use the Add, Remove, Move, or sort buttons to change or modify entries in the list.

Note: Apps “run from card” are actually loaded into memory by application launchers into a temporary file. As these apps are automatically deleted from memory when the application is exited, they are no longer available after leaving the app and appear as “(Not in RAM)” in the application history list.

Use history list instead

For a dynamic applications list, check the “Use history list instead” option. When set, the list will automatically update itself with the last 12 programs visited. The list will clear itself if the handheld is soft reset.

You can toggle between the dynamic history and static application lists in the TealLaunch popup window by pressing on a “Swap” button. If a button is defined as a “Goto” action, it will appear as “Swap” until you select an application from the list. On a Treo handheld, you can also press the “Alt” button on the phone keyboard to alternate lists.

(New in 3.38)

Reverse history list order

If selected, shows the history list in reverse order, updated from the bottom up.

ABC quick keys (New in 3.31)

If this option is selected, a “quick key” letter or number is added before each entry in the application list. Entering that letter instantly launches the corresponding application. Select “Edit Keys” to modify the list of letters used (up to 99 chars long), which defaults to the 26 letters of the alphabet followed by single digit numbers. Quick keys can optionally be made case-sensitive by entering both upper and lower case characters in the quick key list.

Popup Window Buttons

The TealLaunch popup window’s buttons can be configured to execute actions many different useful functions. The buttons can also be turned off entirely with the “Hide all buttons” option to leave a small, streamlined popup window. Supported button functions include:

Goto App / Swap

Launches the currently-selected app in the app list to the left. Since tapping on a name also launches that app, this button is useful if the selection is changed using the scroll buttons for by entering the first letter of an app by graffiti.

Until an application has been selected, a “Goto” button is used as a “Swap” button, and will alternate the application list between the static list of defined apps and the dynamic list of the last 12 applications visited. (New in 3.38)

Cut

Cuts selected text from an active text field

Copy

Copies selected text from an active text field

Paste

Pastes text from the copy buffer into an active text field

Select All

Selects all text in an active text field

Apps

Goes to the normal applications launcher. This is the screen that comes up normally if you press the 'apps' silkscreen button.

Keyboard

Brings up the system QWERTY keyboard if the cursor is active in a text field

Graffiti

Brings up graffiti help (PalmOS 2.0 or higher only)

Backlite

Toggles on/off the screen backlight (if present)

Turn off

Turns off the PalmPilot

Lock

Locks the organizer and turn it off. If TealLock is present on your Palm, TealLaunch will use it instead.

Previous App

Launches the prior application running before the current was launched

Calibrate Pen

Goes through a pen digitizer-calibration sequence identical to the one in the Prefs app.

Local Sync

Launches the HotSync application and start an local HotSync operation

Modem Sync

Launches the HotSync application and start an modem HotSync operation

TealNote

Inserts a new TealNote at the current cursor location (requires TealNotes)

TealGlance

Calls TealGlance (if present) to show its popup reminder window.

Grab TealPaint Screen

Performs a screen-grab of the current display into the current TealPaint image database. This action supplements the standard TealPaint timed screen grab. Requires TealPaint.

Invert

Inverts the colors of the display on a Palm V, switching black with white.

Find

Performs a global find, doing what the find button normally would do.

Set BMark xx

Saves the name of the current application in one of eight bookmark slots for later retrieval by the “go to bookmark” command. The Bookmark function is very handy, because it allows you to change button mappings without going to TealLaunch’s settings. For instance, by setting the four app buttons to four “Go to Bookmark” actions and the same buttons held down to the “Set Bookmark” actions, one could re-map any of the four buttons to the current application at any time by simply pressing and holding down the button to map.

Goto BMark xx

Launches the application saved in one of eight bookmark slots.

Brightness

Brings up the system software brightness adjustment on applicable devices.

Contrast

Brings up the system software contrast adjustment on applicable devices.

PushButton/Stroke Mapping

TealLaunch can be configured to execute actions based on a multitude of button presses and pen swipes, grouped into categories on the TealLaunch trigger screen.

By default, buttons used to turn on the device are not mapped. You can map them with the “Map power-on” option. Note that due to PalmOS system quirks mapping them can keep the device from turning on reliably on certain devices like the Tungsten E2.

Standard Triggers

Supported triggers include presses of any of the four application hardware buttons, four silkscreen buttons (on devices with Graffiti writing areas), device-specific auxillary buttons, pen strokes between any two silkscreened buttons or pen strokes from a silkscreen button to the graffiti area. This last option may not be supported on some devices with virtual silkscreen writing areas if silkscreen strokes are mapped to other functions.

Chorded triggers

In addition, combination presses are also supported between two application buttons or an application button with the page-up or page-down buttons or Palm 5-way navigation buttons. In these “combo” presses, a second button is pressed while the first is still being held down. This click-click combination creates a separate trigger that can have a separate function from either of the two buttons alone. When using a chorded trigger, always press the application button first, and follow it a split-second later with a press of the arrow button, while still holding down the application button.

Open window triggers

All “triggers” can be configured to execute different actions depending on whether the TealLaunch Popup Window is open or closed, giving you additional independent mappings based on a two-trigger combination: one to open the window, and another to issue the command.

Held triggers

Wait, there's more. Any of the hardware buttons can also be configured to execute different actions depending on whether they are pressed and released quickly or pressed and held for more than a half-second before release. This includes double-button combinations. Just press them and you'll hear a click. If you hold it down, it will click a second time after a half-second pause, indicating that the optional 'button-hold' trigger has been detected.

In total, all these choice give up to 200 separate independently configurable action triggers that can be mapped to a variety of functions.

Setting trigger actions

To change the function of a trigger, select it from the trigger list and tap on the Edit Action button. You'll see a window with two popup lists that allow you to change the functionality of that trigger for two cases: when the popup window has not been opened (closed) and when it is already up (open). Note that you need to make sure that somewhere you've left a way to reach the system applications launcher, either through the TealLaunch popup, or a mapping to a button or button combo so you can still access all your apps you haven’t remapped. A full list of supported triggers and actions appears below:

Trigger Summary

Application Buttons

Button 1

A quick press of the first hardware button (typically labeled ‘Datebook’, but is used as a phone button on Treo smartphones)

Button 2

A quick press of the second hardware button (typically labeled ‘Address’)

Button 3

A quick press of the third hardware button (typically labeled ‘ToDo’)

Button 4

Open TealLaunch (Closed Only)

Open the TealLaunch window and switch over to the alternate set of Open button mappings.

Close TealLaunch (Open Only)

Close the TealLaunch Popup Window.

Go to Apps Launcher

Goes to the normal applications launcher. This is the screen that comes up normally if you press the 'apps' silkscreen button

Goto Previous App

Launches the prior application running before the current was launched

Goto Selected App (Open Only)

Go to the selected application in the popup apps list, if any. Note that the 'Close TealLaunch' is often unnecessary because this action can be used as a 'close' if no apps have been selected by tapping or pressing the hardware scroll buttons.

Edit

Cut Text

Cuts selected text from an active text field

Copy Text

Copies selected text from an active text field

Paste Text

Pastes text from the copy buffer into an active text field

Select All Text

Selects All text if currently in an active text field

Applications

TealMaster Profile xx

Switches the current hack profile in TealMaster to the specified profile letter.

Call TealGlance

If present, calls TealGlance to bring up the popup reminder window.

Grab TealPaint Screen

Performs a screen-grab of the current display into the current TealPaint image database. This action supplements the standard TealPaint timed screen grab. Requires TealPaint.

New TealNote

Inserts a new TealNote at the current cursor location (requires TealNotes)

Bookmarks

Set Bookmark xx

Saves the name of the current application in one of eight bookmark slots for later retrieval by the “go to bookmark” command. The Bookmark function is very handy, because it allows you to change button remappings without going to TealLaunch’s settings. For instance, by setting the four app buttons to four “Go to Bookmark” actions and the same buttons held down to the “Set Bookmark” actions, one could remap any of the four buttons to the current application at any time by simply pressing and holding down the button to map.

Go to Bookmark xx

Launches the application saved in one of eight bookmark slots.

Special

Virtual Key Code

Simulates the press of almost any hardware or silkscreened button by sending the Palm OS key code for a preprogrammed key. When selected, this options allows you to either enter the raw code for the button to simulate (for programmers) or to tap/press on the real key to easily program the code into the unit.

Menu Shortcut

Sends the specified “shash” command shortcut key for a target menu item. For instance, ‘/C’ can be sent to issue a copy command for any program which supports the standard PalmOS shortcut for copy.

Desk Accessories

Desk Accessories are a special standard for small mini applications that you can run at any time. Unlike normal full-size applications, desk accessories are designed to pop-up over your current application. They are not found by the standard application launchers, but must be launched with a special popup Launcher that supports them, like TealLaunch. The TealTools Utilities Pack is a collection of Desk Accessories usable with TealLaunch or other DA launcher programs. For more information on the Desk Accessory standard, visit http://www001.upp.so-net.ne.jp/h-yama/da/.

Chapter 3 – Troubleshooting

Installing and Running

If you are having problems getting the program to run, be sure that you have installed both files: TealMaster and TealLaunch. Refer to the manual that came with your device if you are unsure how to do this.

Afterwards, be sure to activate TealLaunch by running TealMaster and selecting the checkmark next to TealLaunch. If it still does not work try unselecting and reselecting the checkmark. If TealMaster has gotten confused because you either updated or deleted TealLaunch without first deselecting it in TealMaster, perform a soft reset (pinhole reset) to restore the Palm to a normal state.

Lastly, check the TealLaunch options in TealMaster ('+' key) to insure it is set up to activate by your desired choices.

External Storage Cards (SD/MMC/CF/MS)

Hacks generally have limited access to external storage devices due to the extra overhead involved in accessing them. Because of this, TealLaunch cannot directly launch applications that reside on removable external storage cards.

To launch applications from SD cards using a popup-launcher or button-mapping program like TealLaunch, use our program TealAlias (www.tealpoint.com/softalia.htm) to create RAM-resident placeholder shortcuts for those applications. TealAlias also allows you to categorize the programs or run them from a less conspicuous folder on the storage card.

Compatibility

As we cannot control the style and robustness of other products, we cannot guarantee compatibility with Palm OS applications beyond those included from Palm Computing. However, we try to resolve compatibility issues as best we can.

TealLaunch, like all system extension, hook into the PalmPilot operating system in a way that may not be compatible with all other programs of this type, often due to the fact that all system extensions run simultaneously and need to share limited system resources and special runtime memory. If you run into this situation, try running with all other hacks, drivers and background applications turned off first to diagnose the problem. Then reactivate them one by one to find the one or ones which conflict.
