Creating shortcuts for IDE not working on Mac

[pink]

Not sure if anyone can help me with this, I wanted to add keyboard shortcuts to edit card script and stack script.

Using the MacOS Keyboard/Shortcuts preferences, I added shortcuts for those two menu items.

Switching back to Livecode, the keyboard shortcuts now show up when I pull down the Object menu.

When I press the keyboard shortcut, the Object menu briefly hilites like menu items should when an item within is chosen, but the script editor does not launch.

Anybody have any suggestions?

Hi.

Why not just:

Code: Select all

on commandKeyDown tkey
   if tKey = "S"  then edit the script of this stack
end commandKeyDown

Or whatever. This can implemented as a plug-in or a stack in use.

Others may know if the OS retains control of these sorts of things, and LC can't invoke them.

Cmd-shift-S and Cmd-shift-C are built in.

There's a full list of supported shortcuts here:

That is a great list of shortcuts, thanks!

@Jacque.

You know, it never occurred to me that the OP did not know the old built-in shortcuts. I thought custom ones were what was wanted.

@Pink.

Is it so? These have been around for 30 years. Hard to live without them.

I've been wondering so many times why the Ctrl+G in the script editor didn't work to <go to line number> (like in some other editors), and now I see it's Ctrl+L

Many thanks for this usefull list
