[solved/unchanged] TC 9.5rc1 - Shortcut keys for certain strings does not work in all implementations.

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

[solved/unchanged] TC 9.5rc1 - Shortcut keys for certain strings does not work in all implementations.

Post by *petermad »

These to language file strings

Code: Select all

1480="Pause"
1481="Start"
supports shortcut keys - like:

Code: Select all

1480="&Pause"
1481="&Start"
It works fine in the ordinary Copy/Download/Upload progress dialog.

But it does not work for the same (reused) strings in the Background Transfer Manager or in the Background Copy dialog that comes up when using the "Background" button in the ordinary Copy/Download/Upload progress dialog. The letters are underlined but has no effect.

It would also be nice if these two (not reused) strings: could support shortcut keye

Code: Select all

1482="Speed limit"
2007="Foreground"
could support shortcut keys in respectively the Background Transfer Manager and the Background Copy dialog.

Sorry, this isn't supported - these strings don't have hotkeys by default, and they only work because of the automatic hotkey handling by Delphi/Lazarus. The background dialogs are Windows dialogs (because Delphi dialogs are not thread safe) and do not handle these automatically. There are currently no plans to change this.
