Hot keys for hot paths

LuP · Post by **LuP** » 16 Dec 2008, 15:22

Hello,

I'd like that shortcuts to hot paths (Ctrl+1, Ctrl+2 etc.) to work with numbers entered from NUMLOCK as well. At this moment, it doesn't work like that.

- I prefer entering numbers from numlock - as keyboard in most cases is switched to CZ (chars with diacritics), that means numlock is "safer" for entering numbers.

Thanks.

-1 I disagree. I prefer to use the numpad for writing numbers, too, but keyboard shortcuts should stay within the alfanumeric part.

... I obviously mentioned Ctrl+Num1, Ctrl+Num2 etc. - simply Num1 etc. to have the same behaviour as 1 etc. from "normal" keyboard.

Agree that numbers alone (= without shift, alt, ctrl) from numlock should work as numbers itselves...

Well, obviously you didn't understand me. My point was that I don't know any keyboard shortcuts that would use numpad keys. Thus I disagree with your request.

... OK.

Maybe numlock behaviour for hot keys (e.g. for hot paths) should be switchable in Options > Configuration...

you could easily define keys to this with autohotkey. http://www.autohotkey.com

something like this (untested) to define numpad key 7 to send control+7 when the salmander window is active:

#ifwinactive Salamander
$Numpad7::sendinput ^7

#ifwinactive
