Topic: Caps Lock

[BlackBox]

I'm glad you're able to use this, Tim.

FWIW - Rather than calling (car Plist) for each expression in the Or Statements for your callback(s), consider using vl-Postion instead:

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]

1. (if (vl-position
2.       (car Plist)
3.       '("ATTEDIT" "DDEDIT" "DTEXT" "MTEXT" "TEXT" "TEXTEDIT"))
4.   (CAPSLOCK ;| T/Nil |;)
5.   )
6.

Great suggestion, and a bit cleaner

I'd use wcmatch like so: 

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]

1. (if (wcmatch (car plist) "*TEXT*,*EDIT")
2.   (capslock ;| T/Nil |;)
3. )

I'd use wcmatch like so: 

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]

1. (if (wcmatch (car plist) "*TEXT*,*EDIT,MLEADER")
2.   (capslock ;| T/Nil |;)
3. )

added one

I updated the attached reactor code to add a few more and incorporated the wcmatch.

Well I've been using this for over a week (with the reactor) and I have to say it is fabulous.  I never have to touch the caps lock key. No more shouting in my emails.

Thanks to all who were involved, great group effort.

I'm glad you're finding this tool useful, Tim - I am also happy with the result of this little collaboration.  :kewl:

I have also been using this in a reactor, and have only come across one situation where behavior is not what I expected... when editing a table. For example, double clicking a cell to enter text, the capslock is turned on correctly. It is when I Tab into the next cell.

I added a (Print (car cmd)) call at the top of my CommandWillStart, and CommandEnded Callback functions, and it appears that Tabbing into the next cell cycles the TableEdit Command. I've had different results when using Tab, and the arrow keys.

... Just thought I'd share.

Code updated here... Summary of changes:

** Update - 2012-08-17

Additional 'LispException' Classes added for completeness (thanks Gile!), and attached the following assembly versions:

LispKeys2010.dll (compiled to .NET 3.5 for 2010 database format)
LispKeys2013.dll (compiled to .NET 4.0 for 2013 database format)

... Next enhancement will streamline, adding Methods (sub-functions) to remove duplicate code.
