[Feature req.] Keyboard Shortcuts #2

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
If its possible, please:
Keyboard shortcuts for

Reset 
Cold Reset
Change Monitor Mode (color /mono)
NMI (usefull for debug/code monitors/rippers)

Can the AltGR + any other key be mapped for this task?

Some TOS versions have these shortcuts built-in like Ctrl-Alt-Del and 
Ctrl-Alt-RShift-Del for reset and cold boot.

Is the AltGr really present on all keyboards? Even on american ones?

yeah, you are right.. seems the c-alt-del works with a lot of games I tried
so please ignore the reset shortcuts recuest as its handled by the TOS.

the US keyboard use the AltGR (right Alt) for symbols like ¼ ½ ¾ etc.

my idea about the NMI key is for use with debuggers etc, I had in mind the 
multiface cart (sadly this cart is not working with the MiST)
(cart image can be send by request on email , as I am not sure about the 
copyrights)
but as this cart does not working here, no problem.

Also, I think the disk selection sub-menu (on the OSD) needs a Pageup/Pagedown 
if possible, to speed up browsing the disk images.

Couldn't agree more about the page up/down in the OSD list... Right now it's 
very slow to navigate!

Are you aware that floppy disk images can be stored in subdirectories? This 
might help avoid huge directories. Nevertheless, pageup/pagedown in the file 
selector is indeed useful.

I do have them in subdirectories. But it's not that practical, of course.

Take Automation, for instance. It's 576 menus, many with multiple disks and 
multiple editions. 2000 files in all. If you put 50 files in a dir you need 40 
of them just to cover Automation... and it's still too slow (do try and see how 
slow it is with long filenames... you need a second just to go two files down!).

FInd-as-you-type is a real winner, too. The most efficient method, probably...

I have the automation files stored in a structure like this:

A0/A00/A000.st
A0/A00/A001.st
A0/A00/A002.st
...
A0/A00/A009.st
A0/A01/A010.st
...
A0/A01/A019.st
...

Not perfect , but does the job for now ...

The automation collection is 2000 files, but you can trim them to 650 
something, as there are too many alternative dumps (have the [a] etc on the 
filename), or disks with just different bootsector, for example the LGD just 
changed the original bootsector and put their own.

The latest test version re-introduces page up/down for faster file scrolling 
and the usage of letters to jump to files beginning with that letter. Still the 
forwarding of some keys to the TOS while the OSD is open needs to be suppressed.
