Shift<Key>3 bindkey not working

Neeraj Vardhan

Hi,

 I was using this "Shift<Key>3" bindkey for some function, But its not calling that function, but if i change the Key with any other character it is. Can some one let me know what the problem could be.

Thanks

Neeraj

    The forum guidelines do ask you not to post on the end of an old (in this case 9 years old) thread.

    By default, you can't define bindkeys using Alt, because the Alt key is used for menu accelerators (the underlined character in menus). So in the CIW if you do Alt-T-V-W it will bring up a ViVA waveform window.

    You can disable that by adding:

    ui enableMenuShortcuts boolean nil

    to your ~/.cdsenv (note it cannot be done in .cdsinit - it must be .cdsenv as it has to be done early enough in the initialisation). Then you can define bindkeys using Alt as part of the key sequence, but the menu accelerators can't be used.
