Version: Directory Opus 13.21, 64bit, Windows 10
Location: Command Editor, toolbar menus, visualization of hotkeys as “buttons”.
Just wanted to check on the viability of this idea.
-
Background info: While looking into the new features of Opus 13 by editing/updating the menus, I stumbled into these nifty hotkey visualizations in the toolbar menus. (Actually noted them in the current default menus.) IMO, these look really nice. I used to add the “hotkey” short-cuts via “\t” delimited text in the label field of the Command Editor (the old way) .
-
Above is an example of my custom Viewer toolbar menu. As can be noted the “Previous Picture” command actually has two “short-cuts” (hotkeys). -
In the command editor the entry looks like the above. The Hotkey field shows two keys, Page Up and Backspace. Alas, the option “Show hotkey in label” will only show the first entry of the Hotkey field in the toolbar menu, i.e. its label. I manually had to add the other key, i.e. via “\tBackspace,” in the label field, manually. -
Request: Is there a reasonable possibility to have Opus show all Hotkey entries (as visualized key buttons) in the toolbar menu entry?
In this example the toolbar menu entry would go from:
“Previous Picture Backspace, [Page Up]”,
to
“Previous Picture [Page Up], [Backspace]”,automatically… where […] denotes the nice buttons.
I have started to convert all my menus to use these hotkey buttons. Alas, I am aware that showing all the hotkey combos in a menu entry might lead to “menu width bloat”, but maybe the idea still has merit. I certainly would be using it.
Thanks, AEon
