Thank you for your info. Could you, please, be more specific and explain why on earth should I edit Key Map settings file directly in my file system or by "Direct edit" button in the editor settings window? [b]What string value should I put there to make the shortcut key (Ctrl+/) work properly?[/b]
As I already wrote: cite: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - but string "Ctrl+/" exists in only one file in folder "c:\Documents and Settings\...\Application Data\PSpad\" and that is in the file "KeyMap.INI" in only one place for entry "aComment=Ctrl+/"-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ...so what else should I put there? [b]Does it work for you? Am I the only one with this shortcut key combination problem out there?[/b] I don't understand what you expect me to do about it, really. Help me with helping you. I don't understand why there is a problem with the slash (/) character. I would rather expect problems with the backslash (\) character since it often has a special meaning in various programming languages or in functions/procedures responsible for character string processing. Interestingly a shortcut key Ctrl+\ works without any problems (before and/or after restarting the editor) except that it is contrary to the logic of menu option "Format" / "Add/Remove Comment" (prepending lines with "// " strings). Here is some testing I have performed for your convenience: - Ctrl+/ (_works_ only after "Apply" button in settings and [b]doesn't work[/b] after restarting the editor); - Shift+Ctrl+A, Ctrl+Q etc. (_do work_ with no problems but are too long and/or awkward in use); - Ctrl+\/, Ctrl+//, Ctrl+\\ and even illogical Ctrl+/\ (manually edited "KeyMap.INI" in file system, _don't work_ at all); - Ctrl+\ (_does work_ with no problems but is awkward in use). I hope it helps in any way. I'm not sure what you mean by "Windows control" in shortcut editing but buggy IDE components can be fixed. Try it for yourself, please. -- <http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?6,66774,66823> PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
