Cannot overwrite EnterFunction Command for default bindkey definition

Use 

hiSetBindKey("Layout" "Ctrl<Btn4Down> EF" "hiZoomInAtMouse()")

You need EF on the end if you want to set the enter function bindkey.

Hi Andrew,

I was not clear, sorry. What I want to do is to remove (make it blank) the field "EnterFunction Command" when redefining the bindkey, otherwise the hiZoomInAtMouse() doesn't work.

For some reason, I cannot achieve that by simply running the command hiSetBindKey("Layout" "Ctrl<Btn4Down>" "hiZoomInAtMouse()").

If I do as you suggested, both "command" and "EnterFunction command" are filled with "hiZoomInAtMouse()".

Thanks in advance for your support

Hi Andrew,

Don't worry, as I said it is a minor issue, but I'm really surprised that redefining a bindkey (from its default definition) could be that tricky.

I'll put it in a series of actions and results to better explain the situation:

What I want in the end is: Bindkey: "Ctrl<Btn4Down>",  Command: "hiZoomInAtMouse()", EnterFunction Command: "" (blank)

So, from the beggining:

Action 1: Open Virtuoso (without loading my leBindkeys.il)

Result 1: Bindkey: "Ctrl<Btn4Down>",  Command: "geScroll(nil "n" nil)",  EnterFunction Command: "weScrollOrCycleUpWireViaAlignment()"

Action 2: Run command hiSetBindKey("Layout" "Ctrl<Btn4Down>" "hiZoomInAtMouse()")

Result 2: Bindkey: "Ctrl<Btn4Down>",  Command: "hiZoomInAtMouse()",  EnterFunction Command: "weScrollOrCycleUpWireViaAlignment()"

(Oddly the EF was kept, preventing the bindkey to work properly while I'm drawing a path in Layout Editor, for instance)

What I found to be a workaround is to run a third step with the command you suggested  -  hiSetBindKey("Layout" "Ctrl<Btn4Down> EF" ""), only to erase the EF field.

Please let me know if you smell any possible mistake from my side, otherwise thank you for you support.

Best regards

I'm not sure why you think this is tricky. The bindkey in normal mode is different from in enter function mode - so if using hiSetBindKey and you want to set or erase both the normal and enter function modes, you have to call hiSetBindKey twice, which is what you've done here with your step 3.

After many releases of having no bind keys by default, we made a change a few releases back to automatically load the bindkeys in <ICinstDir>/share/cdssetup/dfII/bindkeys (these can also be overridden by the setup.loc mechanism) rather than requiring everyone to load a full set of bind keys from their .cdsinit file. However, what that means is that if you want to erase one of the defaults, you have to set it to blank.

You could also just do:

hiSetBindKeys("Layout" list(
  list("Ctrl<Btn4Down>" "hiZoomInAtMouse()" "")
))

which would do the same thing. This function allows you to set both the normal and the enter function bind keys at the same time.

That's the function used that  you see if you save from the Options->BindKey form.

Andrew.

Great support Andrew!

Thank you very much.
