Re: Short cut keys for a menu option...

Hi Mark,

I had a previous discuss with Aldon about the a-l-j option only being available in the rse view. They told me that's the way their plugin works. The object being created (the j in a-l-j) must be the selected object in the rse view. I argued that it would make sense to create the object that had focus when in the editor view but they told me that was not how there plugin worked.

That's as far as it got.

Thanks,

Rob

Hi Rob,

I'm no expert on shortcuts but don't you just need to change the "When" on the a-l-j shortcut to extend where the shortcuts applies?

Best regards,
Mark

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Short cut keys for a menu option...

Hi All,

I'm not sure how to word this so I couldn't find any help in the archives.

I'm on RDi 9.1. Currently I have an LPEX Editor User Key Action set to
(s-c-b) for block fill. I want to create a key combination similar to the User Key Action for a menu option combination.

I have a menu option (Aldon LM - Create Object (System i compile)) which I use all the time. The shortcut key combination is a-l-j. But this only works in the rse perspective or view.

So my normal procedure is this. Make a program change in the editor.
c-s to save the member (this step is not necessary but I do it as force of habit). c-f7 (this may be multiple times) to change to the rse view. a-l-j to compile the program.

I'm wondering how I would go about putting these three steps into just one key combination (similar to the normal compile s-c-c or the User Key Action). I'm not even sure if I can do it but I thought I'd ask.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Rob
