Re: Easy Key Combination to Open the Explorer
really the solution for your own work environment is a macro key utility Like the old Quikeys Then for the most part you can define your own - even (again mostly) for key strokes that 4D does not give you access to. I say mostly, as I have NOT figured a way to get to step into a method and have to use F8 On Thu, 13 Oct 2016 17:36:30 +0200, Arnaud de Montard wrote: > >> Le 13 oct. 2016 à 16:21, Jim Medlen >> a écrit : >> >> >> As mentioned ctrl-k (command-k) opens a method also ctrl-l (command+l) >> opens a form. > > ctrl+l has changed, it opens "go to line…" dialog (since v13, > AFAICR).

Re: Easy Key Combination to Open the Explorer
As mentioned ctrl-k (command-k) opens a method also ctrl-l (command+l) opens a form. Is there a key combination that will find / open / goto an object on a form ?

Great tip! Still Learning something new every day. For command documentation and opening a method, option-click works as well. I am assuming alt-click works the same on a PC. I find this easier and quicker than Ctrl-K as you only need to hover over the command or method and option-click.

Easy Key Combination to Open the Explorer
This could be old news but I discovered this late yesterday - In 4D's method editor, Ctrl-k is the keyboard shortcut for "Goto definition" for the item that's highlighted. If a 4D command is highlighted, pressing Ctrl-k will open the documentation web page for that command. If it's a method that's highlighted, 4D will open that method. In contrast to the simplicity of "Goto definition", the keyboard "shortcut" for opening the Explorer is Ctrl+Shift+Alt+e which requires some dexterity compared to a simple Ctrl-k. Further, working on different system configurations means that some key commands are different - 4D 2004+Parallels+Win7 uses different commands from V13+Parallels+Win7 which are, in turn, different from a V15 app accessed via Citrix on the Mac to Citrix on Win 2008 Server There *is* a very easy way to open the Explorer using Ctrl-k - place the insertion point on an empty row of text in the method editor, press Ctrl-k, and 4D opens the Explorer. -- Douglas von Roeder 949-336-2902 ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **
