Description of Best TaskMan 2.03
Control your phone processes
Running applications and tasks control, ability to substitute built-in system task manager or work along with it, Windows Alt-Tab style task switcher, a unique way to access favorite applications (Quickstart), running processes control, and many more advanced functions to explore.
Key features
When you start TaskMan you can see 3 main views: Open applications, Memory and Quick start. You can switch between them with left/right cursor keys or by selecting the needed view from View menu.
Open applications view
This view shows the information about running applications. You can see what applications are running currently, switch to the needed application, get information about any running application, close some application or all applications at once. You may also see the amount of memory available at the end of the list. This view substitutes the built-in task manager (if enabled in options) and task selecting navigation here is the same as in the built-in one. You can select an application by using joystick or just pressing Menu key several times to select the needed application and then long press Menu key to switch to the application.
You can also select in Settings not to substitute the built-in task manager but to define your custom taskman activation hotkey, in this case both Best TaskMan and the system task manager will work without conflicts at the same time. Hint: When this view is shown it automatically highlights the previously focused application so you can cycle between 2 last applications in a fast way.
Memory view
This view shows brief and detailed information about your device memory, phone disk and memory card
Quick start view
This view allows you to increase the productivity usage of your smartphone. You can place here all most used applications and access them very fast when you need them.
You can add an application to this list using "Add application(s)" command. Also you may use "Move up" and "Move down" commands (or shift+up/down keys) to arrange the applications.
You can start an application directly from this view but there is also Quick start launcher - a unique and very fast way to start favourite applications. To use it you need to define a "Quick start hotkey" in system settings. Then the Quick start launcher window will appear after pressing the hotkey. From navigation and behavior point of view Quick start launcher is similar to TaskSwitcher (please see TaskSwitcher section below for more information) but there is favorites aplications list instead of running tasks list.
Task Switcher
TaskMans Task Switcher is an alternative way to cycle applications (that requires much less key presses to switch between applications). TaskSwitcher has the same look and feel as "Alt-Tab on Windows". You can configure your own TaskSwitcher hotkey in Settings. Default hotkey for it is "Shift+Menu".
For example you can set up Shift+Menu button for this action. Then press Shift+Menu any time you work with your device, keep Shift button pressed and hit Menu as many times as needed to select some application. Release Shift button to switch to the selected application instantly. Absolutely the same as Alt-Tab works on Windows.
Hint: While you keep Shift pressed as in our example you can also use cursor keys to select the needed application and release Shift button to switch to the selected application.
Settings
Using application settings you can override the default application behavior and customise it to fit your needs.
• "Taskman activation" - If it is set to "Instead of built-in one" then Best Taskman will replace the built-in task manager when you long press Menu key. If its set to Custom key then both Best TaskMan and system taskman can work at the same time.
• "Activation hotkey" - Visible only when Taskman activation is set to Custom key. It allows you to define a hotkey to pop up Best TaskMan from background.
• "Switcher hotkey" - Allows you to define hotkey to use with TaskSwitcher.
• "Quick start hotkey" - Allows you to define hotkey to use with Quick start launcher
• "Autostart Taskman" - if enabled TaskMan will be automatically started in background when system starts
