Access hotkey list without redefining key

Post by *OoO »

Hi -

Currently, in order to view the Choose Command window which lists all hotkeys[1], you have to click on the magnifying glass icon in the 'Redefine Hotkeys' section of the 'Misc.' part of the 'Configuration' window.

However, that button is only active (clickable) when the process of redefining a hotkey has started. Specifically, you have to make a selection in the key choice drop-down menu to the right of the Control / Alt / Shift / Win checkboxes.

This is slightly annoying when one is trying to learn what hotkey does what; in order to simply view a list of current hotkeys, it's necessary to start the process of redefining a hotkey.

My suggestion is that the button to activate the Choose Command window always be active.

[1] The window with the 'Choose Command' title, with 'Category' on the left-hand side, and 'Command : Nr: Description' on the right-hand side, a filter box near the bottom, and 'OK / Cancel' buttons on the very bottom.

I'm an idiot, ignore this - the Choose Command window doesn't show the current keybinding, so it doesn't let you see what key does what. Keeping the button active would be useless for the problem at hand.

Hi and welcome OoO

---

That "Choose Command window" is called "Command Browser"
Try tipping cm_CommandBrowser in TCs command line box.

---

For default keyboard combination see Help > Operation > Keyboard layout

---

For own defined shortcuts see Configuration > Misc. > "the big down-arrow" button
or WINCMD.INI > [Shortcuts].




Happy TC-ing!

In Redefine Hotkeys section you can press the arrow pointing downwards to view the currently remapped hotkeys. All other (predefined) hotkeys are listed in the TC help file and %COMMANDER_PATH%\keyboard.txt.
