Is there a list of hot keys in Xojo (apart from the ones on the menu)?
I think we posted at exactly the same time.
Could only find the topic “Keyboard Shortcuts” in LR (Xojo Language Reference) that literally contains only four shortcuts for “Code Editor” and nothing else. No such topic as “Hot Keys” in LR. May be the Xojo team had no time to code or document all for the 2013r1.
That’s a start. Thanks!
Didn’t know about:
Cmd + [Double-click on method] Navigate to the method that was double-clicked.
Handy.

Works with constants/properties as well.
Cool!
The Mac IDE should also support all of the standard Cocoa text editing shortcuts.
User Guide Book 1: Fundamentals, Overview (Chapter 1), Keyboard Shortcuts section covers all the menu-related keyboard shortcuts.
Code Editor keyboard shortcuts are on the previously mentioned LR page and will be in the Code Editor section in the next User Guide update.
If you know of other keyboard shortcuts that ought to be documented, do create a Feedback case for them so that I can update the User Guide.
I am in need of some help. I need to determine what keyboard shortcut key has been pressed in a TextArea.
In the KeyDown method, I have code
if TargetWin32 then
if KeyBoard.ControlKey then
if KeyBoard.AsyncKeyDown(&h23) then //CTRL & p
StartMovieatTime
return true
elseif KeyBoard.AsyncKeyDown(&h22) then//CTRL & i
'TLSClipboard.Append(transcriptionText.text) //save current contents into clipboard
CopyToCLipboard
MarkAsInterjection
return true
elseif KeyBoard.AsyncKeyDown(&h0E) then //CTRL & e
'TLSClipboard.Append(transcriptionText.text) //save current contents into clipboard
CopyToCLipboard
markeventType("event")
transcriptionText.SelAlignment = TextArea.AlignLeft //CTRL+e usually sets alignment of the paragraph to centre. This undoes that style change
return true
elseif KeyBoard.AsyncKeyDown(&h11) then //Ctrl & t
CopyToClipboard
MarkAsTitle
return true
else
return false
end if
end if
This works fine for predetermined keys but I want the user to be able to select their own shortcuts, for example, replace the ‘p’ by a ‘1’, if that’s what they prefer.
I can not find any way of working out what key has been pressed in conjunction with the Ctrl key.
I am looking for a code statement like
if KeyBoard.AsyncKeyDown(keyPressed) then //CTRL & keyPressed variableCan anyone advise how I achieve this?

In typical RealStudio/Xojo style, I found a simple solution that appears to work, at least for US keyboards.
I load a dictionary as follows (in the App object:
keycodesDictionary = new dictionary
keycodesDictionary.Value("1") ="a"
keycodesDictionary.Value("2") = "b"
keycodesDictionary.Value("3") = "c"
keycodesDictionary.Value("4") = "d"
keycodesDictionary.Value("5") = "e"
keycodesDictionary.Value("6") = "f"
keycodesDictionary.Value("7") = "g"
keycodesDictionary.Value("8") = "h"
keycodesDictionary.Value("9") = "i"
keycodesDictionary.Value("10") = "j"
keycodesDictionary.Value("11") = "k"
keycodesDictionary.Value("12") = "l"
keycodesDictionary.Value("13") = "m"
keycodesDictionary.Value("14") = "n"
keycodesDictionary.Value("15") = "o"
keycodesDictionary.Value("16") = "p"
keycodesDictionary.Value("17") = "q"
keycodesDictionary.Value("18") = "r"
keycodesDictionary.Value("19") = "s"
keycodesDictionary.Value("20") = "t"
keycodesDictionary.Value("21") = "u"
keycodesDictionary.Value("22") = "v"
keycodesDictionary.Value("23") = "w"
keycodesDictionary.Value("24") = "x"
keycodesDictionary.Value("25") = "y"
keycodesDictionary.Value("26") = "z"
keycodesDictionary.Value("200") = "f1"
keycodesDictionary.Value("201") = "f2"
keycodesDictionary.Value("202") = "f3"
keycodesDictionary.Value("203") = "f4"
keycodesDictionary.Value("204") = "f5"
keycodesDictionary.Value("205") = "f6"
keycodesDictionary.Value("206") = "f7"
keycodesDictionary.Value("207") = "f8"
keycodesDictionary.Value("208") = "f9"
keycodesDictionary.Value("209") = "f10"
keycodesDictionary.Value("210") = "f11"
keycodesDictionary.Value("211") = "f12"
Then I use the following code in the KeyDown handler of the TextArea to check for a match on the configured shortcut key:
if KeyBoard.ControlKey then
if App.keycodesDictionary.Value(Str(Asc(key))) = App.playshortcut then //CTRL & p &h23
StartMovieatTime
return true
end if
if App.keycodesDictionary.Value(Str(Asc(key))) = App.interjectionshortcut then//CTRL & i &h22
CopyToCLipboard
MarkAsInterjection
return true
end if
if App.keycodesDictionary.Value(Str(Asc(key))) = App.eventshortcut then //CTRL & e &h0E
CopyToClipboard
markeventType("event")
transcriptionText.SelAlignment = TextArea.AlignLeft //CTRL+e usually sets alignment of the paragraph to centre. This undoes that style change
return true
end if
if App.keycodesDictionary.Value(Str(Asc(key))) = App.titleshortcut then //Ctrl & t &h11
CopyToClipboard
MarkAsTitle
return true
end if
So far, this appears to work but only for characters a to z and the function keys. It does not work for numbers but that may be just a limitation we have to liver with. For using the function keys, the user just types f1, f2, f3, etc, into the configuration field.
It would still be interesting to get a generalised answer though, working for any Ctrl + key combination.
