Manage User-Defined Commands

Post by mussor »

Hi,

I wish there would be an easier and more intuitive keyboard navigation for window Manage User-Defined Commands.

I wish there would be an access key (alt+<letter>) for Caption and Location.
I wish "OK" button could be "clicked" by Ctrl+Enter.


more complicated wishes:
* full text search for commands
* search by pushing down the assigned shortcut (this search would need to be first activated and then it would select the command with this shortcut in the list)

What's wrong about the current Enter?

It works only under some circumstances. If a different button is in focus it "clicks" it - like "Browse..." or "Down". Then I need to "tab" to correct editbox or button so Enter triggers "OK" button.

Thanks!
Unfortunately, it does not work all the time, especially in a context I want it the most. If a "Location" edit box is in focus, ctrl+enter does nothing. It is the same for Run script when I edit the script in the edit box ctrl+enter does nothing.

This works wonderfully :)
thank you

What about that "access" keycombos, please?
Location
Caption


cuz tabbing through the controls here is a little counter-intuitive

thanks, I see it underlined. But sadly alt+<thekey> does nothing. Does it work at your place? :) Actually non of the button can be accessed. Browse is not "clicked" by alt+w, although it should. Cycling keyboard focus throught various controls does not help (like it does not matter which controls is focusedalt+key still does nothing).

I see, thanks :)

.. I thought 32bit versions were already out of support since few months ago. Now I see they are back releasing. :)

[Hopefully if I'm in the right topic, otherwise ignore]
The 64-bit edition seems pretty good so far - with one exception: Alt + key combos no longer work.

Tried a couple of betas but the bug (?) wasn't fixed. Latest stable build v28.00.0100 still suffers from it.
Is this going to take a while? Keyboard shortcuts increase productivity, I'm thinking of reverting to v27.20.0000 x86. 🤔

It must be fixed upstream and it’s done when it’s done. If you can’t wait, revert until then
