AltSnap 1.68

What's Changed

Allow to have parameters for an action #718, #749, For the mouse buttons it usually will not affect anyone. However for Keyboard shortcuts it changes completely the way they are configured. Fixes #711

You will have to click on the [+] button next to the keyboard shortcut drop list and configure the advanced action.

This generalise the Step Window Action to ie: Step_U_32, to Step Up of 32 pixels.

Action parameters are separated by underscore. It also applies to the command line options:
ie: AltSnap.exe -afTransparency_S_128 will set the Transparency of the currently focused window to 128.

To see the list of possible parameters, look at the advanced configuration box for the keyboard shortcuts.
Those advanced actions can also be used as Mouse actions but you have to write them manually in the proper format.
