In 'Ctrl + d', 8 is used as *.

[cpp64]

In 'Ctrl + d', 8 is used as *.

I use 1 ~ 0.

1 - dir1
2 - dir2
3 - dir3
...
8 - dir8
...
0 - dir0

I can't use the number 8 as a shortcut key.
When pressing 8, 'Change directory menu' appears.
Is it possible to change '*' to 'Shift + 8'?

This problem occurs from TC 10.50. (installed and tested tc-old-versions)
TC 10.50 changed the ctrl-d menu from '[C]onfigure...' to '[*] Configure...'.

Not confirmed. Can you try with a clean wincmd.ini file and only add 8 - dir8. Is it then still not working?

Which TC version are you using?
Are you using numeric keyboard? Is NumLock on?

[ghisler(Author)]

Not confirmed either.
Btw, have you tried the entry for dir8 to:
&8 - dir8
with the & at before the digit you want to use as hotkey?

'&8' makes the cursor rotate between '&8 - dir8' and '* Configure...'.
--> see ctrl-d-and8-rotate.mp4

After testing, I was able to reproduce the same symptom.

Not confirmed with Windows 11, US keyboard.

Instead of [8(*)], How about [`(~)]?

--> The key outputs are different with languages.

[sky66]

According to the Help documentation, I modified the KeyboardID in the wincmd.ini file.
When set to $0407 or $0807, it works correctly, jumping to ”8 - dir8” instead of the 'Change directory menu'.
It's likely a keyboard configuration issue.

0: disabled => Pressing 8 will jump to the 'Change directory menu'.
1: set to default locale ID => Pressing 8 will jump to the 'Change directory menu'.
$0409: English keyboard (QWERTY) => Pressing 8 will jump to the 'Change directory menu'.
$0407: German keyboard (QWERTZ) => OK
$0807: Swiss German keyboard => OK

However, it's better not to modify the KeyboardID, as it may cause an additional non-local language keyboard to appear in the Windows taskbar at the bottom right.

Not confirmed after setting KeyboardID=$0409 in wincmd.ini and changing language in TC to English. The system keyboard layout is still German in my case as well as the other regional settings.

[cpp64]

When pressing 1~0 and SHIFT + 1~0, the outputs are different with languages.

In my Korean keyboard,
In Korean --> 8 and * use the same physical key.
In German --> }(physical key for Korean) is allocated for * and '8 and (' use the same physical key.

// Korean, Microsoft IME = English (United States), US
`1234567890-=<Enter>
~!@#$%^&*()_+

// German (Germany), German
--> KeyboardID=$0407
^1234567890ß
´<Enter>°!"§$%&/()=?
`<Enter>

I have again tried to reproduce the problem, but didn't have any success so far. I tried to match their setup:
- Windows 11 x64 24h2
- Installed extra keyboards: English (United States), Korean (Microsoft IME)
- added an item to Ctrl+D with &8 in the title

Then I tried this with both TC 64-bit and 32-bit:
1. Switched keyboard layout to English (United States), Ctrl+D, 8 -> the menu item with &8 was executed immediately
2. Switched keyboard layout to Korean, Latin input, Ctrl+D, 8 -> the menu item with &8 was executed immediately
3. Switched keyboard layout to Korean, Hangul input, Ctrl+D, 8 -> the menu item with &8 was executed immediately
4. Added KeyboardID=$0409 to wincmd.ini [Configuration], restarted TC, Ctrl+D, 8 -> the menu item with &8 was executed immediately

So apparently something else must play a role here, maybe the keyboard? I have a cheap "Cherry" rubber dome keyboard.

If you have any other keyboard from an older PC, could you try with that just for checking?

I found the cause.
The 'System locale' Korean Triggers the 'Change directory menu' with 8.
After changing the 'System locale' from Korean to English (United States) and German (Germany), The 8 works as 8 (not *) with Korean, English and German languages.

[ghisler(Author)]

Thanks, I will try to reproduce it.
It's odd because I'm using a standard Windows context menu.

[ghisler(Author)]

I have tested this now, and can confirm it. Unfortunately the bug seems to be in Windows itself, I'm not getting any WM_MENUCHAR message for the 8 digit, Windows itself jumps to the * entry.
