Is it possible to map a hotkey to an existing context submenu item?

Post by *don »

For example, I currently have "Tortoise SVN" as a context menu item (accessed by shift-10) - is it possible to wire up a TC hotkey to directly call one of the submenu items eg "Tortoise SVN" | "Show Log".

This is only possible using a script (AutoHotkey, AutoIT or similar). However, if you can find what the context menu item does exactly, you might be able to come up with some command that does essentially the same. I'd start by search the Windows Registry in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT for "Show Log"; if you're lucky, there's a command behind this item.

Thanks for the suggestion, I've got something working with AutoHotKey - had never heard of it before.
