Context menus hotkeys display

[petermad]

any ETA for your cool special menu customizations?

Not until the final version of TC 9.0 is out - things might change many times until then. But I am already working on it...

Fixed in Beta2.

[MVV]

With Russian language file hotkeys are still displayed with extra space in 9.0b2.

Code: Select all

Ctrl +X
Alt +Enter

Not confirmed fixed in TC9b2 when a lng file is used.

The strings 5282, 5283 and 5284 from the Misc configuration dialog are reused for this, and that is why there is a space before the + sign.

It is not smart to reuse these strings since they might contain amperands for hotkeys, and they ar not necessarily spelled the same way as when they are used for showing shortcut keys in menus.

In Danish it now shows as for example Control +X where it should be Ctrl+X when used in a menu.

We have to get 3 new string for this use or one multistring like string 1653

Is it possible to add option to enable/disable show hotkeys in the right click context menu? I think only via wincmd.ini would be sufficient (it's not the option that user needs to be changed frequently).

In 9.0b3 there are no more extra space in hotkeys!

But the string 5282 is still reused - and It is NOT correct translation to use Control for the right click men it has to be Ctrl.

Of course I could change string 5282 to "Ctrl" but it har always been Control - also in English.

I think it is wrong to reuse strings in other contexts, where you cannot be sure that the translation will be the same. So I don't consider this bug fixed

[ghisler(Author)]

Actually it's the same, 5282 also refers to the physical key. Maybe 5282 is translated incorrectly?

[petermad]

English .lng file:
5282="Control +"

Danish .lng file:
5282="Control +"

Control anywhere else in English (and Danish) .lng and mnu file for shortcuts: Ctrl

I just ask for the possibility for making a consistent translation.

TC9 beta3 shows "Ctrl+X" when I open the context menu of any file on my Win7 x64 VM. Did I miss something?

Which language file are you using and what is the text in your Configuration -> Options -> Misc. -> Redefine hotkeys (Keyboard remapping) -> Control +

Notice string 5282 has been changed in the internal English dialog from being "Control" up until TC9b2 to "Ctrl" in TC9b3 - Ghisler is just cutting it short

EDIT, It is not really string 5282 in internal English that has been changed in beta3, because it still shows "Control" in the Misc. Config dialog, but Ctrl in the context menu - so for internal English two different strings are used - but not so if an external .lng file is used.

[Dalai]

Which language file are you using

None, so internal English.

[...] and what is the text in your Configuration -> Options -> Misc. -> Redefine hotkeys (Keyboard remapping) -> Control +

Control +.

Notice string 5282 has been changed in the internal English dialog from being "Control" up until TC9b2 to "Ctrl" in TC9b3

I didn't test ealier betas.

Another drawback of reusing strings 5282, 5283, 5284 and 5299 for the contest menu is that there can be hotkeys attached to those strings, and those hotkeys are displayed but inactive/inappropiate/replicated in the contect menu.

See: http://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/underlinecontext.png

So please provide a new string xxxx="Ctrl;Alt;Shift;Win" that can be used for this purpose (and many others) and can be properly translated.

Sorry, currently not planned. TC does remove the hotkeys from them when re-using them.
