Cannot overwrite EnterFunction Command for default bindkey definition

Pedro Paro Filho

Dears,


Minor problem, but I cannot overwrite the default bindkey definition with my own SKILL command.
By default, the layout command for "Ctrl <Btn4>" is geScroll(nil "n" nil) with the EnterFunction Command weScrollOrCycleUpWireViaAlignment().

If I try to change the bindkey command to hiZoomInAtMouse(), (loaded via .cdsinit or even through the Bindkey Editor), the EnterFunction command is not removed from the previous definition, and the bindkey doesn't work properly.

This is the Skill command I introduced in my .cdsinit.


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

Any hints?

The virtuoso version is IC6.1.6-64b.500.7

  • 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.
