This is what I would done:
Open leoSettings.leo, there is a menu command in the Settings menu.
Look at the node:
@settings-->Keyboard shortcuts-->@keys EKR bindings-->@shortcuts Cursor
Moves
There you can see commands for moving cursor in the body pane and their
default shortcuts.
To select word you can see there is a command named `extend-to-word` which
by default is bound to Ctrl-w.
Then you can open LeoPyRef.leo (and make your own copy of that file with
the name LeoPy.leo). Then you can use quick search or find to search for
the string `extend-to-word` and you would get the node at the:
Code-->Command classes-->@file ../commands/editCommands.py-->class
EditCommandsClass-->ec: move cursor-->ec.extend-to-word
There is the implementation of the command, so you can learn how it is done
and perhaps find what you need to change to get the effect you want.
But you should not change that function. Instead you should copy the code
to a new node and change it there. You can then make a script button out of
this node but first you should change the headline to something like this:
my-new-word-search-command @key=Ctrl-Shift-f
Of course you should give it a meaningful name and choose shortcut to your
liking. When you make script button by clicking in the button in toolbar
with the label `script-button`, the code inside this node and its subtree
will be bound to the shortcut and every time you press this key combination
the code will be executed.
As I understand you wish to start search for the word containing cursor and
only in the current body. The script to do this is as follows:
c.editCommands.extendToWord(None)
c.frame.nav.children()[4].setCurrentIndex(4)
c.executeMinibufferCommand('find-quick-selected')
To construct this script I had to look in leoPlugins.leo in the
quicksearch.py plugin, to find that c.frame.nav is the widget representing
'Nav' pane. To find that combo box is the child at index 4, I used small
script:
for ch in c.frame.nav.children():
g.es(ch.objectName())
Looking in the combo box you can find that the item at index 4 is 'Node'
for searching only inside current node.
Once you are satisfied with the command, you can change its headline to be
'@command <name of command> @key=<shortcut>' , then copy and paste it in
your myLeoSettings.leo under the `@settings` node. Every time you start Leo
after this, it will have this command bound to your shortcut just as if it
were a command implemented in the Leo core.
