VC6 layout for keybindings?
« on: August 22, 2009, 10:16:12 am »
I've been using VC6 for years and I'm used to its keyboard layout, recently I switched to VS2008 and right from the start it asked me if I wanted keybindings similar to VC6. So it would be very helpful for me if I could likewise remap the keybindings in Code::Blocks, i.e.

F5->Run
F7->Build
F9->Toggle Breakpoint
etc.

You need the keybinder-plugin be installed (part of the contrib-plugins).
If you have it, you can change bindings for (alomst) every entries in the main menus (not the context-menus).

You find the configuration in "Settings -> Editor... ->  Keyboard shortcuts".

Hi,

Thanks for the info, I found the dialog.

I see it has "Key Profile" combo, does that mean that there are ready-made profiles, and if so, where can I get them from? I'd rather not waste my time doing something that's already been done.

The KeyBinder plugin does not ship with any preconfigured key profiles.
