I'd like to know, and I think Christian would like too, how many people use each specific configuration!
What about create a page where everyone can submit his wincmd.ini and it gets parsed so that we can know how many users use CTRL-ALT letters for quick search and how many use only letters.
We could also find out what features are not used at all!
I think that this would help Christian in some decision and TC users would be happy to contribute their configurations!
#1. I create new entries in Start Menu and assign them keyboard shortcuts via Configuration | Misc | Redefine hotkeys (because Ctrl+Alt+FN hotkeys, suggested in Start Menu Editor, are not convenient for me). To add a memo for these hotkeys (displayed in right part of each menu) I cannot use "\t" sequence, so I copy tab character from a text editor and paste it while typing command's title in Start Menu Editor.
#2. To sort text files you can add the following Start Menu entry:
Title: Sort Ctrl+S (there is a tab character after "Sort") Command: cmd.exe Parameters: ?/c sort /+1 < %N > "%O sorted.%E" Start path:(empty) Run minimized
and assign, for example, Ctrl+S hotkey to it in Configuration | Misc | Redefine hotkeys.
When activating this command, dialog will pop up where you can change by what column to sort. Default is "/+1" (first column). If you never plan to sort by other columns you can use the following Parameters string:
Parameters: /c sort < %N > "%O sorted.%E"
In this case dialog won't pop up.
Or you can create two commands: "Sort" and "Sort Extended".
#3. I use Shift+F4 to create text files but I'm bothered to type ".txt" extension every time. If your text editor adds it automatically (my does) you can create the following entry in Start Menu:
Title: Create New Text File In Source Pane Shift+F4 (there is a tab character after "Pane") Command: c:\path\to\your\editor.exe Parameters:(empty) Start path:(empty) Run maximized(optional)
and assign Shift+F4 hotkey to it in Configuration | Misc | Redefine hotkeys.
#3 doesn't work in my side. Maybe my editor isn't fully support that as urs. But if I start my editor standalone, it can automatically save new file with default .TXT extention.
why not just use cm_usermenu and assign hotkeys to them? I do it this way and just created a new menu instead of the startmenu, which I don't display in TC, I just use it for many tools and commands.

I do use cm_usermenu to assign hotkeys other than Ctrl+Alt+Fn.

Didn't understand. How can you create your own commands not in Start Menu.
I create commands in the Start Menu, I just don't display it in my menu. The commands are only defined to be used through cm_usermenu, so they can be accessed to any hotkey I like, or any menu I like.
