Ability to Reconfigure Key Bindings #17

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
It'd be nice to reconfigure key bindings. I use Eclipse IDE and some of the
shortcuts conflict. Of course, I could do this in Eclipse, but Eclipse
itself has way too many shortcuts so it'd be difficult to track what
shift-specific changes I've made.

But great app otherwise ;)

It is a very popular feature request and we are working to get it out as soon 
as possible.

I attempted to change the key bindings (due to a conflict with Safari's Google 
search shortcut) using the 
Keyboard preference pane. The new key bindings showed up in the menu, but it 
only responded to the old ones.

@iano.notexactly , Yes I just reproduced this.
Even though the keyboard shortcuts show up in the Menu they don't get triggered.

However this is no bug or such per se, it just does not work because the 
keyboard
shortcuts from SystemPreferences->Keyboard->KeyboardShortcuts do not apply to 
MenuBar
Items - for some reason only apple knows the MenuItem gets recognized and the 
new
ShortCut Label is added but the keyboard hook is not properly attached, perhaps 
it's
because the Menus aren't defined in MainMenu.xib or something.
I cross checked this with other Application that are LSUIElements and only 
visible in
the MenuBar - they show the same behaviour ...

Alas the only option for you I see is changing the keyboard shortcuts in the 
code and
recompile, or wait for a version with costumizable Shortcuts to come out

Regards Marco

Can you push this a little higher on your priority list? I spend a LOT of my 
time programming in Xcode and it 
makes use of several of the basic shortcuts in ShiftIt. I love this program but 
I'm not able to use your program for 
the majority of the work I do on my machine.

Hi,

Recently I was playing with the shortcut recorder [1] so if you want I can make 
a patch to have the hotkeys settings in preferences configurable.

First of all, thanks for this great app! it rocks and IMHO it fills a gap in 
functionality for Mac OS X 
@krikava, and owner:
yes, I am also willing to contribute to this app and to allow the hotkeys to be 
configured, meanwhile I came here and saw your (krikava) offer, have any of you 
done any work in this direction, how can I help?

Keep in mind that I haven't yet developed anything for Mac, but I do have 
extensive knowledge of Java and other things and willing to learn and work

Cheers,
João

@Joao.Xii: Seems like the development of this app is frozen - see the front 
page. What I did just now is to fork it on github: 
http://github.com/fikovnik/ShiftIt and so far I just modifies the defaut 
keybinding (not reflected in the menu though) so I can use it (the 
alt+cmd+arrow was conflicting a lot). I also add an icon so there is less space 
taken in the menu bar. Once I have a bit more time I will add the configuration 
of the keys. Please feel free if you have any suggestions what to do to either 
drop me a mail or fork it and implement so we can then merge together and make 
a release.

Whoops! I guess I should have posted sooner. I have actually been working on 
reconfigurable hotkeys for the past several days. It took a bit longer than I 
expected, partially because or outdated and disorganized code-- it seems like 
this dev is a Carbon programmer and not much of a Cocoa programmer. 

Anyway-- I have fully implemented the ability to change hotkeys. I just need to 
add the functionality for the hotkeys to persist after the app is closed. 
Should finish in a day or 2 (I'm also a full time student). I'll post it on the 
github page when I finish.
