wxKeyBinder problems/solutions discussion

[Pecan]

but there exists another problem, i can't save any new keyboard settings,

after applying the changes, keybinder pops up a messagebox, saying the
new keyboard layout is saved under "/home/tiwag//.codeblocks/cbKeyBinder04v16.ini"
but there is no such file existing :?

did you notice the double slashes in the directory-path   /home/tiwag//.codeblocks  ?

it seems, that this

Code

    //memorize the key file name as {%HOME%}\cbKeyBinder+{vers}.ini
    m_sKeyFilename = ConfigManager::GetConfigFolder();
    // remove the dots from version string (using first 3 chars)
    wxString sPluginVersion=m_PluginInfo.version.BeforeLast('.'); //+v0.4.1
    sPluginVersion.Replace(_T("."),_T(""));
    m_sKeyFilename = m_sKeyFilename<<wxFILE_SEP_PATH<<m_PluginInfo.name<<sPluginVersion
        <<_T("v")<<SDKverStr<<_T(".ini"); //+v0.4.1

has to be handled differently in win32 and unix OS's

HTH
tiwag

But.. But.. Isn't every thing but cbKeybinder04v16.ini handed to me by
ConfigManager::GetConfigFolder() ??

How can I change that ??

thanks

EDIT:
Oh, there's a <<wxFILE_SEP_PATH in there.
Now how did that get there?

I am aware that keybinder is broken with the new
"settings scheme" in svn 1838.

I'll put it back together as soon as I figure out where
all the pieces went.

Very cool icon, but you might want to replace that "Strg" key with one that appears on more keyboard layouts. I've only ever seen Strg keys on German keyboards¹. Using another key would make it more recognizable to more people, I think.
Maybe Alt?


1) According to Wikipedia that keyboard layout is used in Austria as well, but I don't see Strg on any of the other keyboard layouts they show.

Funny, now that you mention it, I have been wondering for many years why the "control" key is not labelled "control" on PC keyboards... buf of course I haven't used an English keyboard in a decade, so I wouldn't remember
Macintosh calls it "control", I think.

Heh . Germans and their translations .

I've heard of such a thing as a Dutch keyboard layout, but as far as I'm concerned that's just the most annoying thing ever to happen to my Windows keyboard settings. Dead keys are evil, especially when programming in languages that use ' and " as delimiters for character/string constants .

Macintosh calls it "control", I think.

During the Google searches I did to investigate for that post¹, I saw mac keyboards with both "Ctl" and "Ctrl". Didn't see any "Control" though. And I wouldn't know from personal experience, given that I've only used macs like two times (both > 5 years ago) in my entire life.


1) Before I noticed that Strg was Ctrl, not Shift. (I initially wanted to recommend Ctrl or Alt for use in the icon)
