"Redefine hotkeys" interface suggestion.

[Flint]

I was sure that it was suggested already, but the search gave me nothing...
Now there is an interface problem when redefining hotkeys: for many commands I cannot see the full description because it is too long and just cut off. I suggest to change something in Misc. page of Settings dialog so that we could see longer description strings. For example, it can be done as shown in the picture below.
How it is at present: http://flint-inc.ru/Temp/tc2.gif
How it can be: http://flint-inc.ru/Temp/tc1.gif
(MS Paint of course )
Or there can be even more radical change, for example not drop-down list, but listbox with both horizontal and vertical scrolling so that everyone could see even VERY long strings...

Of course, I know about different programs for work with totalcmd.inc that can show all I want, but this is not a solution, because I will need to restart the TC after changing some hotkey outside of TC.

Good suggestion, I support that!

Hi Flint, I know this is not a solution but maybe you could use it as workaround:
I have added the whole Totalcmd.inc (without [usermenu] section) instead with commandname with numbers. So if you want to change shortcut you can press [end] and scroll upwards. Most of all descriptions will fit the box now (only five or six do not).

Code: Select all

I think that it would be nice if there at least appeared a tooltip with the full description above the not visible one.

[Sheepdog]

Of course I support the request, too.

[pdavit]

I think that it would be nice if there at least appeared a tooltip with the full description above the not visible one.

I wanted to suggest this initially but with a slightly different approach. The list and its width could stay the same but hold only the IC and the corresponding number and have only as a tooltip the internal command's description. But I wouldn't want the description to disappear from totalcmd.inc as well!

[Raymond]

How about this idea?
A window with 3 columns specially for keyboard remapping.
First column : internal command list
Second column : command description
Third column : press hotkey here to redefine

As I learn more about Totalcmd, more self_defined hotkeys were added, it turns out hotkey redefining is the most frequent thing I do in turning up Totalcmd.
Maybe an external tool for this?

Your idea seems not very convenient. Even one long description will make all the list too wide, so that one cannot see hotkeys (they will be too far on the right). Moreover, one command can have several hotkeys. How will it look?

The thing is that I use Russian totalcmd.inc and it has longer descriptions than English one. But your solution can help a little. Maybe, I'll use it, but as you said, of course, this is not real solution

Long description could be truncated, when cursor or mouse move on it will show hint.

Well, I didn't recognize this possibility. Could have Add, Delete functions there.
BTW, is it really necessary to define several hotkeys to one command?

It can be useful sometimes. For example, set F2 and Shift+F6 on remane command - and this configuration will be useful both for those who renames files as in NC and for those who likes to rename as in Windows.

Long description could be truncated

And who will determine the length of truncation? This can only be useful if size of columns will be adjustable by user...

On the same front, a function to tell what function is bound to a key would be nice. Put it into another word, what I'm asking for is a function like "describe-key" in Emacs.

Support++.
In Define hotkeys section you could choose a key and it's redefined function is displayed. But if there is no function is redefined you get only zhe 'use default key' message.

Here is a small piece of code from a VB project. I don't know if you know about this function, but it could be a good and simple solution to the problem mentioned here. I believe it's self-explanatory but if there are any questions, please ask.

Code: Select all

Const CB_SETDROPPEDWIDTH = &H160
Dim lRetVal As Long

RetVal = SendMessage(Combo.hwnd, CB_SETDROPPEDWIDTH, NewWidthPixel, 0)

It does the following: you can have a combo-box with a specific width in a form, but when you click on it and the dropdown opens, the drop-down part can have a different width than the closed combo-box (smaller or bigger). The width of the drop-down part is defined by the <NewWidthPixel> parameter. This way, there is no need to re-arrange the form in order to see the bombo's full contents.

Hmmm, now that i think of it, could this be used to help the "merging" of the two list-boxes in the drive selection combo?

Yes, CB_SETDROPPEDWIDTH is a good idea, but to my knowledge, it doesn't work on all Windows versions. I will check that, and add it where appropriate.
