TC configuration comparisons

Post by *bago »

Hi all,

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!

What about? :?:

To find out how many, a poll is needed.

I want to start sharing experience of using TC.

#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.

Thx for ur sharing!

#2 works fine! I like it! :)

#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.

BTW, can I add a seperator item in start menu?

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.

btw, I agree that the Ctrl+Alt+Fn - hotkeys aren't the most convenient. Another reason for using cm_usermenu, great feature!

Yes, create "-" entry (dash).

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.
