Keyboard commands

[Grovkillen]

I'd love to get these keyboard commands for the IDE:

CTRL+D = copy the line you're on right after the first one and place your caret there.
CTRL+C = if no selection; copy the row you're on to clipboard
CTRL+X = if no selection; cut the row you're on to clipboard
CTRL+/ (7) = block comment, if no selection; comment out row

CTRL+C = if no selection; copy the row you're on to clipboard
CTRL+X = if no selection; cut the row you're on to clipboard
CTRL+/ (7) = block comment, if no selection; comment out row

I would use these three 100 times a day if they existed. Not sure I understand the first one.

Working from home for the last year. Tepid connection speeds and RDP session to the work computer where I'm writing scripts makes selecting with the mouse and managing to select precisely what I want selected challenging. I do use double click often to select the text between special characters. And triple click will select an entire line. I'd still vote for (is there an election?) Grovkillen's shortcut keys.

Thanks for listening.

Thanks for the vote JRL!

CTRL+D = copy the line you're on right after the first one and place your caret there.

What I mean by this is that you have this scenario:

1:Let>VARIABLE=123
2:Let>ANOTHER|=abc
3:Let>THIRD=1a2vb3c

If you have the caret in the second row (example caret position in red) and press CTRL+D you'll get:

1:Let>VARIABLE=123
2:Let>ANOTHER=abc
3:Let>ANOTHER=abc|
4:Let>THIRD=1a2vb3c

With the caret now at the end of row three (marked green).

This is ideal to use to make multiple calls to a sub routine:

1:GoSub>SubName,SubVar1
2:GoSub>SubName,SubVar2
3:GoSub>SubName,SubVar3

Grovkillen,
Thank you for the clarification.

And I'd like to add to this one:

CTRL+/ (7) = block comment, if no selection; comment out row

If selection, uncomment rows if more than 50% of the selected rows are commented.. else comment them all.

Added to v15.0.23
Added: Ability to block comment/uncomment with ctrl+/ in editor

[Grovkillen]

I didn't get this to work

With CTRL and /

It's working for me. Anyone else having problems?

[Grovkillen]

CTRL+7 I guess? It's not doing anything on my end. Feel like a monkey here

CTRL /

[Grovkillen]

I have a Swedish keyboard... I will try to find out where the shortcut is located on mine because the 7 key is the one used for the front slash.

[Grovkillen]

For me it's the ' key (the @ key on a English keyboard)... Would CTRL+7 be considered ?
If I look at this list I see that many layouts use 7 for the /: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Q ... e_variants

Ah, interesting. I'll mention this to Marcus.

I have a similar problem with the \ key on my bluetooth keyboard. It's there but is a real pain. So I have a script with a hotkey of ` which simply just sends \.

I just tested the same workaround for you with CTRL+/. It worked in the editor.

Just assign whatever hotkey you like to this:

Code: Select all

press ctrl
wait>0.05
send>/
wait>0.05
release ctrl

[Grovkillen]

In that case I need to do a loop that only do this when the editor is in focus. If possible I would love to have this shortcut on CTRL+7 (alongside the current shortcut with CTRL+/). I'm not demanding it, I just wish for it
