Topic: Assigning lisp to function keys.

[hudster]

Is there a way I can assign a lisp to one of the function keys eg. F4?

[Mark]

Yes. Under ***ACCELERATORS in your custom .mns file.

Code: [Select]


["F4"]^C^C<cmd name of lisp app>;


[hudster]

cool thanks.  I changed my F4 so that it toggles my properties dialogue box.

Code: [Select]

***ACCELERATORS
["F4"]$M=$(if,$(and,$(>,$(getvar,opmstate),0)),^C^C_propertiesclose,^C^C_properties)

ummm... did you know that CTRL+1 will toggle the properties box?

[hudster]

Yeah but now I have to push 1 less button.

Time and energy saving

...Did you know that Ctrl+{number} will jump to that tab? So if you have three tabs open and you press Ctrl+2 you will be on the middle tab.

(Sorry, i dont know why i said that, but...)
