Way to Easily Show Keyboard Mapping

[brahman]

Hello,

If we click on "Configuration > Misc. > Arrow next to Hotkey:" we can see the keyboard mapping.

Is it possibe to call up that mapping with a command? I forget rarely used shortcuts, and would like to keep this handy compendium easily and quickly accessible.

Thanks.

Is it possibe to call up that mapping with a command?

There are many way to do that:

- Simple and fast to setup (starter menu, button, dir hotlist):

Code: Select all

%comspec% /k PathTo\inifile.exe PathTo\IniFileWithSectionShortcuts [Shortcuts]

With inifile.exe from here: https://www.horstmuc.de/wbat32d.htm#inifile


- Separate file for section [Shortcuts]:

Code: Select all

[Shortcuts]
redirectsection=wincmd-shortcuts.ini

And then within starter menu, button, dir hotlist

Code: Select all

%comspec% /k type PathTo\IniFile\wincmd-shortcuts.ini

-Via Batch:

Code: Select all

setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set Fini=PathTo\IniFileWithSectionShortcuts
set showIt=0
for /f "delims=" %%a in (%Fini%) do (  
    set l=%%a
    if "!l:~0,1!"=="[" set showIt=0
    if "!showIt!"=="1" (
        rem set l=!l:C+=Ctrl+!
        rem ...
        echo !l!
        )
    if "%%a"=="[Shortcuts]" set showIt=1
    )

There is also KEYBOARD.TXT in the TC program folder, and that same list incl. links to other help sections in the "keyboard" page in the help.

That said, there are programs that have a "show keyboard mapping" function that takes into account the default + user defined keyboard shortcuts and generate a new text file. Perhaps something to consider for TC

The TwinKey plugin has a Keyboard mapping function which shows the default keys
and also the user redefined ones. Additionally, duplicated keys are shown.
It needs a config file with the deafult keys for the actual TC.
Last time Petermad provided an update for it.

You can use this button to open the Help for Keyboard Layout directly:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
hh.exe %COMMANDER_PATH%\TOTALCMD.CHM::keyboard.htm

C:\windows\hh.exe
Open Help for Keybord Layout

To make the button:
1. Mark the text in the box here above (click SELECT ALL).
2. Copy it to the ClipBoard (press Ctrl+C).
3. Right click on TC's buttonbar and choose "Paste".

Wow!

Thank you so much for all your suggestions - not only did it solve my question, it also made me learn a lot about the intricacies of TC.

Also check Hotkey editor from Ultra TC Editors. It displays current hotkey(s) and original TC hotkey even if it is changed. Also aliases. It can even export the hotkeys to the main menu.

For this, we need an updated "tc default hotkeys.hky"
to reflect the TC 11 defaults.

I believe @Petermad took over maintaining this aspect of UTCE.

Since TC 11.00 is now feature complete I have released the new datafiles for Ulta TC Editors - see: viewtopic.php?p=438465#p438465

Thanks for updating.
I use it in Ultra TC Editors and the Twinkkey plugin.

Does Hotkeys Editor.exe know about commands with parameters?

No.

EDIT
But the Hotkeys Editor.exe can still show cm_commands with parameters, it just won't show the parameters.

NOTICE! if you use Hotkeys Editor.exe to change or set hotkeys, ALL parameters for ALL cm_commands that you might have set will be LOST!
