How to create two or three key strokes bindkeys

SlimAnt

Hello,

How can I create two or three key strokes bindkeys without changing the existing bindkeys?

For example, addition of existing bindkeys such as: m -> to activate move

I would like to create new bindkeys such as: jmp -> SKILL code to jump to a certain coordinate


I tried using the following function getc to read the next character from keyboard and it doesn't work.

   procedure( call_2()

        TT = getc()

                if( TT = "p" then

                     ; function to jump

                )

     )


   procedure( call_1()

          TT = getc()

                 if( TT = "m" then

                        call_2()

                 )

      )


hiSetBindKey("Layout" "none<Key>j" "call_1()")


I am using version IC6.1.3

I Appreciate any help that I can get.

  • In principle, yes. You'd have to change initBindKeys to add bindings for modified keys - and this would need to call the ->enter function with some sequence to identify that unambiguously. Currently the ->enter gets called with a single character, e.g. "a", "B", "0" - but there's no reason why it couldn't be something else - e.g. "^D" to represent control-D - and then you enter that in your sequence definitions.

    Whether it's really what you want, I'm not sure - this is a bit of an all or nothing solution.

    Note, I didn't try changing it as described above - but from a quick glance back through the code (and I did write it getting on for 5 years ago), I think that should be possible.
