Re: keyboard shortcuts
Thank you most kindly for your quick response and considerate attention to my suggestion. At the risk of now sounding like I am telling you "THE" way to do it, I will humbly suggest "A" way to do it, that I think would be the simplest - add a field on the properties dialog box for tools in the QuickStart toolbar like the "Shortcut Key" field in the properties dialog for .lnk links in the English version of Windows. The behavior of any key press indicatong that the pressed key should be included in a CTRL + SHIFT + key combination might be adapted to just CTRL + key -- as long as key doesn't conflict with SuperEdi's built in CTRL + key assignments. This should not be a problem as I think there are only (4) CTRL + key assignments in Super Edi currently. - However you are keeping track of the tools in the quick start tool bar would be the best candidate for how to store the hot-key assignments. If this is not practical, there could be an INI file, registry setting or other configuration mechanism for storing this information. - [too obvious to mention, but...] capture hot-key input (only caring about the state of the CTRL key). Match the hot-key configuration to the pressed key, and do whatever is currently done to run tools from the QuickStart toolbar. Now, it seems that space on the QuickStart toolbar may become a problem, "BUT" that shouldn't be immediately necessary.
