Request: configuration screen to change hotkeys

Open ZwaanME opened this issue 9 years ago • 8 comments

Would it be possible to change the hotkeys that use the scroll lock keys so I can bind them to another key combination? Both my laptop keyboard (Dell Latitude e6410) and my Logitech K350 lack a scroll lock key which means that I can't use any key combination that use the scroll lock key.

You can edit the preference in the settings file directly, but there's no easy way to do it currently (no configuration options from within the program). We'll want a config screen in the future for hotkeys.

Dear Peter,

Thank you for your swift reply. I'll go and experiment with the settings file. If you could add this to the options in a later version it would be much appreciated but I'm glad there is at least a work around available.


Kind regards,

MARK ZWAAN

I was looking at implementing this feature, but noticed that the program violates Microsoft rules

Keyboard shortcuts that involve the WINDOWS key are reserved for use by the operating system. Source: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms646309(v=vs.85).aspx

Trying to dynamically rebind hotkeys with Windows key gets tricky (because the code for registering Windows key is same as input from backspace key).

Thoughts from @Codeusa ?

Any idea if there's a chance to look at this one again? It would be super helpful, I use Scroll Lock as my PTT key, haha. Makes things awkward.

Hi Wrascon,

I'm sorry, but I haven't used this piece of software in about four years. So I can't offer you any help. The question I asked in 2014 may no longer be valid anymore.

I only see a config.bin, which isn't in a human editable format. Is this still possible? @psouza4

How is this not implemented? It's been 5 years and we still can't rebind the hotkey?

What settings file you are referring to ? i can't find one.

I don't think it is possible right now to change config file to change hotkeys. The hotkey buttons are coded as constant in the source. However it is quite simple to just modify the source and build your own version.
