Shortcuts and Windows Administrative Tools

[ObiRobKanobi]

I know if it is already possible, but otherwise it is a good proposal.

You can now define shortcuts

[shortcuts] Defines keyboard shortcuts replacing the default shortcuts
CAS + F2 = cm_renameonly In this example, Ctrl + Alt + Shift + F2 calls the internal function cm_renameonly.
(C = Ctrl, A = Alt, S = Shift)
[shortcutswin] Same as [shortcuts], but together with Windows key.

Example

[Shortcuts]
; Enable 'F2' key to RENAME, additional to origin 'Shift + F6'
; F2 = cm-RenameOnly
; Enable 'Ctrl + F' to SEARCH (find-files), additional to origin 'Alt + F7'
C + F = cm_SearchFor
Use 'Ctrl + O' to launch DOS-Box in current path
C + o = cm_ExecuteDOS
; Disable 'Alt + F4' (Exit, close program), load Help instead
A + F4 = cm_Keyboard
; Disable 'F8' (Delete), load Help instead
; F8 = cm_Keyboard

Wouldn't it be nice if more Windows Administrative Tools could be configured here.

Yes I know you can also load this via WIN + X, but with a key combination it is faster.

Hi and welcome.

What stops you from doing that?

You can just define your own em_commands to load Windows programs, and then use them in the [Shortcuts] section.

If you for example want to make a shortcut for Windows Task Scheduler - make this command in your usercmd.ini file *:

Code: Select all

[em_schedtasks]
cmd=taskschd.msc
menu=Task Scheduler
button=mstask.dll

and then this in the [Shortcuts] section of your wincmd.ini file:

Code: Select all

[Shortcuts]
C+S=em_schedtasks

to assign Ctrl+T to opening Task Sheduler

em_commands can also be used with buttonbar Buttons, Main and Start menu, Directory hotlist, View Modes, Aliases and Command line.

* You can run cm_CommandBrowser to create/edit you usercommands - just scroll to the bottom of the left panel in the "Choose Command" dialog, click on usercmd.ini and click the "New"/"Edit" button.

@Stefan2, As I wrote in my first sentence

I know if it is already possible

and I use Windows oeps TotalCommander over more then 25 year and still surprised about the possibilities

@Petermad,

Thanks this is precisely what I looking for.

It's unclear (not correct in English). Choose one of more correct sentences, please:
"I don't know if it is possible."
or
"I know that it is possible."
