Feature-Request: Additional Key Mappings

jjcjrcpa · Post by *jjcjrcpa » 2003-07-20, 13:26 UTC

I have a laptop keyboard, so the Num+, Num/, Num-, etc. don't do me any good in TC. I'd really like the ability to remap standard keys like /\'./ etc.

Thanks,
John

You can remap them in Configuration - Options - Misc.

I know about that screen. I cannot map keys like I mentioned above. The / only works on the numpad. The / on my keyboard does not work. There is no abillity to map keys like []'.,/;\

2nd: some examples

I have a laptop keyboard, so the Num+, Num/, Num-,

Num+ : cm_SpreadSelection
Num/ : cm_RestoreSelection
Num- : cm_ShrinkSelection[/quote]

It helps if you read the entire post. I have a laptop keyboard - it does NOT have those keys.

That's exactly why Norfie mentioned the internal TCmd functions which are called by those keys

.

Num+ : cm_SpreadSelection
Num/ : cm_RestoreSelection
Num- : cm_ShrinkSelection

In the 'Configuration - Misc.' tab, you're able to define which key YOU want to call these functions, so that you don't need the keys on the numpad.
