Shortkeys should be 'linked' to a 'Loose object' that allows them to be useable/available all the time execpt when in 'editing mode'. If you want to choose something with a press on a key, you should use dropdown menus or use Jochen's menu extension. That is how I do it. François Van Emelen ___ QL-Users Mailing List

In that case I would use the appsub with the lowest number, ignoring the others. There is already a similar case: if there are two shortkey in the same appsub, the first is always considered, ignoring the other. But of course it's just an idea. An even more sophisticated thing would be that in case of duplicate shortkeys they would pass by one to another, but I fully understand that it would be really complicated to do 2017-08-18 9:58 GMT+02:00 Wolf via Ql-Users : > Hi, > > This isn't fixable - by design. > > Don't forget that a window may have several appsub windows, which may have > the same selection keys for their elements (e.g. a filemanager that would > have two file windows).

Hi, This isn't fixable - by design. Don't forget that a window may have several appsub windows, which may have the same selection keys for their elements (e.g. a filemanager that would have two file windows). How would you distinguish between them? So, appsub windows get the keystroke ony if the pointer is over them. Makes sense to me.

Re: [Ql-Users] MAW in Easyptr4 - help
I dont know of an easy way. It seems to be a feature of Wman. The two solutions I can suggest are: 1. Two-step approach: Have a keypress, say TAB, to select the MAW, then press the relevant key. 2. Hidden Loose Items: If there are not too many items in the MAW, and they remain the same throughout the session, add some hidden Loose Items to the main menu. Hidden LIs are buttons with no dimensions at a convenient out-of-the-way location in the main window, that have a selection keystroke as their only property. Make those selection keys the same as for the MAW ones and let them perform the same actions, that way, whichever window the pointer is in the same keystrokes will lead to the same actions seamlessly.

Hi everyone, I have a doubt about the EASYPTR4 Application windows I put an array in an Application Window Menu, then I defined that the first letters of each element are underlined and usable as shortkey. Shortcuts can only be used if the pointer is located above the application windows. If the pointer is somewhere else, these short keys can not be used. Is it a feature or a bug? In either case, how can I do this to use these shortkeys regardless of the position of the pointer? thanks in advance Giorgio ___ QL-Users Mailing List
