[build 401 Bugs] Issues with assigning shortcut keys

[Mathew]

Two issues:

1. When assigning certain shortcut keys, the Customize Toolbars… > Properties does not seem to report some built-in keyboard shortcuts. For example Ctrl+Shift+Up, Ctrl+Shift+Down both show up as not assigned:
   image(1).png
   image(2).png
   yet if I do assign them, they do not work, because there is a built-in command that is associated with them (goto first page, goto last page respectively) that overrides it even if the menu shows it:
   image.png
   I have similar issues with PageDown, PageUp and just with Ctrl+Up, Ctrl+Down, etc.
2. A separate issue, in javascript, if using app.addMenuItem()

   Code: Select all

   cHotkey: 'Ctrl+Shift+End',

   It actually assigns Ctrl+Shift+PageDown !

Hi Mathew,

Thanks for the feedback/report - I've let the development team know.

Kind regards,

[Mathew]

Thanks Sean. I just upgraded to build 403 and it's the same.

Here's a basic test script that shows the inconsistencies. Many of the shortcuts are listed when you export the CSV of shortcuts, but as noted above, not PageUp, PageDown, arrow keys, etc:

Code: Select all

// testing keyboard shortcuts

// with Ctrl
app.addSubMenu({
    cName: 'Ctrl_test',
    cParent: '',
});

[ 'Tab', 'ScrollLock', 'Insert', 'PageUp', 'PageDown', 'Home', 'End', 'Up', 'Down', 'Left', 'Right', 'NumPlus', 'NumMinus', 'Num0', 'Num1', 'Num2', 'Num3', 'Num4', 'Num5', 'Num6', 'Num7', 'Num8', 'Num9', 'NumDec'].forEach( (b,i) => {
    const sc = 'Ctrl+'+b;
    app.addMenuItem({
        cName: 'Ctrl_'+i,
        cUser: sc,
        cParent: 'Ctrl_test',
        cHotkey: sc,
        cExec: `app.alert('${sc}');`
        });
});

// with Ctrl+Shift
app.addSubMenu({
    cName: 'CtrlShift_test',
    cParent: '',
});

[ 'Tab', 'ScrollLock', 'Insert', 'PageUp', 'PageDown', 'Home', 'End', 'Up', 'Down', 'Left', 'Right', 'NumPlus', 'NumMinus', 'Num0', 'Num1', 'Num2', 'Num3', 'Num4', 'Num5', 'Num6', 'Num7', 'Num8', 'Num9', 'NumDec'].forEach( (b,i) => {
    const sc = 'Ctrl+Shift+'+b;
    app.addMenuItem({
        cName: 'CtrlShift_'+i,
        cUser: sc,
        cParent: 'CtrlShift_test',
        cHotkey: sc,
        cExec: `app.alert('${sc}');`
        });
});

Thanks for the detailed problem report, Matthew.

I forwarded it to our developers for further investigation.
