Custom keyboard shortcut assignments

helig · Post by **helig** » 15 Feb 2006, 09:14

I would appreciate a possibility to assign custom keyboard shortcuts for menu items (additionally or to replace an existing one).

For example, I'd like to have SHIFT+F6 do the same as F2 (quick rename).
I think that's not possible now, is it?

That is not possible now.

However, I'd ask for at least duplication of existing shortcuts for operations related to copying filename or path into clipboard - there is Ins key used and this key is not really useful on the new MS keyboards as it is joined with PrtScn key - they cannot be used at the same time and I use PrtScn key quite often...
Therefore, an alternative for the Ins key in these operations would be great.

I can't stand this Microsoft keyboard "layout" and I hope it will not spread further. How could they throw away shortcuts such as Insert, Ctrl+Insert, or Shift+Insert? Which key will be missing next year?

OK, thank you for this idea, added to our todo list.

Btw: why do you use such keyboard? I undestand that in a corporate environment users often have no choice...

This keyboard is otherwise very good and robust, the only thing I don't like is this PrtScn and Insert combination...

Thanks for adding this into plan - if it is added into next beta it'll be VERY good since this is the only thing I need to convert my colleague in the office to use Servant Salmander and put the Total Commander away

I like Microsoft's keyboards (and mouses). There are models that have standard layout including the "Insert" key.

I know but the thing is that we already have 5+ such keyboards in our office and until now we didn't use Ins key for anything (until I found this feature in Servant Salamander

Myrek, do you know about these shortcuts?

Alt+E,O = Alt+Insert = Copy Name + Path as Text
Alt+E,X
Alt+E,H
Alt+E,N

(Oops, I found a bug in SS menu: you must release the Alt before you press the second character. Going to fix it.)

Nice workaround

I think the best solution would be to incorporate PrtScn key as a duplicate for Ins key in these operations - e.g. Ctrl+Alt+PrtScn would work the same as Ctrl+Alt+Ins.
It would then be totally independent on the current setting of the MS Natural keyboard...

Don't forget that Prnt Scrn and Alt + Prnt Scrn is used as system wide shortcuts for snapshotting screens and windows.

Do you know a program called AutoHotkey? ( www.autohotkey.com ). You can re-assign keyboard shortcuts with that either globally or program dependant. AutoIt is another similar program.
