version-lasting key mapping problem

[st]

"+" still cannot be reassigned (to "select all" at least),
which i've mentioned long ago & hav been confirmed.

Confirmed here.

It's not a good idea to assign single keys to internal commands. Why? Then they cannot be used also in the command line etc.!

@st:
If you are interested in an AHK script that assigns "+" to "select all" while still being able to use + in command line, drop me a line.

Single keys concept is one of the reasons I like Irfanview. Still they don't interact with other operations like manually changing the directory index (just an example wich has some resemblance to TC's command line).

Also there should be a difference between normal number keys (those above the letters ) and those on the keypad (right of the keyboard)... So Ctrl+1 should be different than Ctrl+Numpad 1

But I neither can
[alt]+[+]
nor
[Alt]+[shift]+[+]
nor
[Ctrl]+[alt]+[+]
nor
[Ctrl]+[+]
nor
[Ctrl]+[shift]+[+]
nor
[Shift]+[+]

assign to cm_selectAll (did not test any other Command)
while

[A] withoput any modifier selects all as expected.

It's not a about it si a good idea to assign a single key but that assigning [+] does not work, IMHO.

I just tried it - I could easily assign [Alt]+[+] and [Shift]+[+] to cm_selectAll. Of course it only works with the + on the numeric keyboard (NUM+)

Did you by any chance forget to click the green checkmark when reassigning ?

No, definitely not (although this could happen easily)

Of course it only works with the + on the numeric keyboard (NUM+)

I must confess that it's not as natural to me that this only works with the +-/* on Numpad. If it is meant to be it's at least misleading that in the dialogbox this is not indicated (like Num* etc.).

Apart from that makes @ghislers answer

no sense in this context. Num+ is assigned already to cm_SpreadSelection. But maybe he read this post with a 'quick eye'.


But anyway: I can easily redefine the Num* Num/ Num- to e.g cm_SrcComments while Num+ persistent refuses to run this command after redefining.

So apart from how it is considered to be a good idea or not to redefine a single key: If the redefining does not work I call it a BUG. And I can confirm that redefine neither [+] nor [Num+] without modifier works.

Confirmed too.

i haven't used the command line feature all my life inside TC

[Balderstrom]

Wasn't the consensus that most ppl wanted mapped keys to be ignored while in the command-line or the like...

[icfu]

For single keys this should be obvious, that's why the answer of ghisler is so strange...

i think this is the only solution i can reassign "+" so far. so i need it.
don't know what AHK is. could U tell me how to use it?

You may have a look at the TC-Wiki and download and install AutoHotkey while you're waiting for the completion of the script.

This script sends TC message cm_SelectAll when + is pressed and left or right panel is active.

Code: Select all

#IfWinActive, ahk_class TTOTAL_CMD
~+::
ControlGetFocus, ActivePanel
If (ActivePanel="TMyListBox1" or ActivePanel="TMyListBox2")
  PostMessage, 1075, 523
Return
