"Find Shortcut" button for Configure Shortcuts Window

Post by Svengali »

I would like to have one more option in the Configure Keyboard Shortcut Window... a button which lets me find which shortcut key a specified ACTION is currently assigned to.

When I look at the Shortcut Window I can tell, by color, which commands or panel button actions have already been assigned... but then I have to look through the whole shortcut key list (key by key) to find which shortcut key a particular action is assigned to.

The new "Find Shortcut" button would work like this:

1. click on a command to highlight it, for example Drawing Mode: 01 (color)
2. click on the "Find Shortcut" button
3. the shortcut key list would scroll to the shortcut key assigned to Drawing Mode:01 (color) and highlight it.

If the command is assigned to more than one key, clicking the "Find ShortCut" button again would jump to, and highlight, the next shortcut key, and so on.

Hopefully, this would also let me find shortcut keys to which multiple actions have been assigned which include the searched for action.

But this already exists, unless I'm not following you right. The used ones are green (in my case -- but some color in all cases, I think). Click on that and look at the bottom left corner of the panel and there you should see which key or combinations have the assignment. Likewise, press any key and see what has been assigned to it.

Ha. Thanks Paul, never noticed that.

How do I find the shortcut key when multiple actions have been assigned to it? Also, how do I find the second shortcut key if the action been assigned to more than one?
