OK, I have made some further investigation using a minimal, almost-empty
myLeoSettings.leo.
I think the issue I am seeing is more about the use of @shortcuts than
@commands
1) I have a myLeoSettings.leo like this:
@settings
@commands
@command test_cmd1 @key=Alt+Ctrl+1 # holds "g.es("test_cmd1")"
@command test_cmd2 @key=Alt+Ctrl+2 # holds "g.es("test_cmd2")"
If I start Leo with this in force, then with a new outline, the key
shortcuts give the expected output.
2) if instead I have a myLeoSettings.leo like this:
@settings
@commands
@command test_cmd1 # holds "g.es("test_cmd1")"
@command test_cmd2 # holds "g.es("test_cmd2")"
@keys
@shortcuts # body is:" test_cmd1 = Ctrl+Alt+1 \n test_cmd2 =
Ctrl+Alt+2", on two lines
(which I would expect to have the same effect)
Then I see the issue - Ctrl+Alt+1 and Ctrl+Alt+2 work in 'original' files,
but appear not to be in effect if a new .leo file is created
Does that help? Or is there something similar to the '@commands ...
@command' arrangement that is needed for @shortcuts node settings to be
'global'?
My original (somewhat garbled) report does mention using both arrangements.
I am not clear why I have both, it was probably just my experiments. But
generally, I guess I would expect @shortcuts settings to be global?
Thanks a lot
