Bindkey: difference between IC61X and IC51X

Jerry1234

It looks like in IC61X, the bindkey is not case sensitive(assume capslock is not used), for example, in the manual, "P" is to createpin() although user need to input the lowercase "p" to invoke the function. 

 

However, in IC51X, bindkey is sensitive. I see lower case and uppercase bindkey everywhere in the drop down menu. Could you please elaborate the difference between these two major versions?

    Hi Jerry,

    The bindkeys in IC61x are case sensitive.  In the menus, however, the keys would be shown as "P", "Shift-P" and "Ctrl-P" for the different cases of the key P, rather than "p", "P" and ?? - so I believe this was done for better readability and clarity.  The real difference is in the use of meta keys, for example, by default the Alt key is not used as a modifier in the IC61x versions as it is used as a menu accelerator key instead.

    Hopefully this answers your question.

    regards,

    Lawrence.
