AkelPad

Hello, it is not possible to insert a backslash (\) into the editor through using the normal key combination with Ctrl + Alt.

4.7.9.0 x64 on Windows 7 with German keyboard layout and all AkelPad settings at default.

Turn off or change hotkey:
"Plugins...->Coder::Settings->CodeFold 2->All levels->Previous level"

Instructor, "All levels->Previous level" is Ctrl + Alt + [ on EN which must be "Ctrl + Alt + ü" on DE not "Ctrl + Alt + ß". Very strange.

Removed all assigned hotkeys from the coder plugin but it's still not possible to write the backslash. It must be something other than the plugin because the problem persists even with the coder.dll deleted.

Greetings.
I am "trying out" AkP 4.79 (nosetup&ini).
The main menu has &View and &Window, but Alt-V and Alt-W do not call those items;
in fact Alt-V functions like Ctrl-V (i.e., paste).

I loaded the AkP.exe into Resource Hacker and changed &View to Vie&w and &Window to &Tabs and deleted» Then Alt-W calls Vie&w and Alt-T calls &Tabs.
Deleting»has no effect.
Ctrl-Shift-V (always) functions like Ctrl-V as well ...

Use HotKeys plugin to reassign hotkeys.
Alt+V has a bit different function(columnar pasting) than Ctrl+V(standard pasting).
Ctrl+Shift+V is past as ANSI(helpfull when some other program breaks clipboard).
See AkelHelp-Eng.htm

Standalone AkelPad.exe has the same effect?

Currently I have no Win7 for testing.

Yes, the same without any plugins.


AltGr + Ctrl + ß can write the backslash.

OK ...
I had already downloaded the HotKeys plugin but have not had time yet to check it out ...
I see how I can assign hotkeys but do not see (yet )
how to delete existing hotkeys ... like Alt-W, Alt-V, Escape ...
(How) Can that be done?

In any case the main menu should not have &View and &Window
when Alt-V & Alt-W are assigned as hotkeys to other functions!

EDIT: The "Words delimiters:" are giving me a problem ...
When "Wd" is disabled, Ctrl-Left/Right moves to caret to the beginning of each word after any space(s); but
when "Wd" is enabled, Ctrl-Left/Right loses that functionality ... seems to me that functionality should remain in effect ...
is there some way to configure "Words delimiters:" to keep that effect?

Read Hotkeys-Eng.txt.
In Hotkeys plugin:
Name: Disable Alt+W
Command: Command(-1)
Hotkey: Alt+W

Read AkelHelp-Eng.htm -> Manual settings -> WordBreak.
Set in AkelPad.ini (or in registry):
WordBreak=5

OK ... thanks ...
I have now put WordBreak in place how I would like it ... great ...

I had already opened and looked at Hotkeys-Eng.txt and didn't find it too "user-friendly",
so thanks for spelling it out for me ...

I find that the following»
Name: Disable Alt+V
Command: Command(-1)
Hotkey: Alt+V
makes Alt-V fire BOTH &View and columnar paste ...

I find that the following»
Name: Disable Alt+V
Command: Command(0)
Hotkey: Alt+V
kills Alt-V totally ...

I can find no way to enter a Esc as hotkey to disable
because hitting escape closes the plugin popup ...
I suppose one would have to know how to tweak the HotkeyText= line in hotkeys.ini ...???

Fixed. Will work for 4.8.0.

I can find no way to enter a Esc as hotkey to disable

Escape key has special meaning and tuned with Exit plugin.

... well for whatever it is worth I submit that I don't like for ESC to close my apps.
I have seen other apps that allow users to choose whether ESC will close the app or not ...

AEN007
Exit plugin:
1. Select autoload Exit::Main
2. Run Exit::Settings and choose Escape->Ignore

I found a way to disable Esc key using Hotkeys plugin and script (without using Exit plugin):
1. Run script PluginText.js.
2. Select Hotkeys on the plugins list.
3. Press button "Save plugin text in text file (F2)".
4. Press button "Edit text file (F4)".
5. In text file Hotkeys.HotkeyText.akelmenu add new line:
   "Disable Esc" Command(0) Hotkey(27)
   and save this file.
6. Press button "Load text file to plugin key (F5)".
7. Close script and AkelPad.
8. Run AkelPad. Now Esc is disabled.
