IDE Shortcuts not responding?

Post by installgentoo »

Hi,

some of the shortcuts like ctrl + tab (goto next tab) don't work in the mac version, and changing the shortcut keys through preferences isn't working either! Is anyone else having the same problem?

Try the Command key instead of Control... most Mac software uses it for hotkeys. (It's the "Apple key" or weird symbol, or try the Windows key if you're using a PC keyboard.)

I too cannot change shortcuts through the preferences: http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... 24&t=51876

Unfortunately all the keys were full with system shortcuts,

but I discovered you can still change the shortcuts manually through the hidden preferences file ( ~/.purebasic/purebasic.prefs)

they need to be entered with ascii decimal (I couldn't figure out how to do alt+key :( ?)

e.g... (edit the pref file while PB is closed. Leave the parts in quotes out):
NextOpenFile = 131182 "0x2006E Control+N"
PreviousOpenFile = 131184 "0x20070 Control+P"

then run pb and prefences->apply needs to be hit for it to activate
