[bug] Shortcut keys not working properly

[Christoph Hart]

Ah yes, that's right, I broke this when I rewrote the search box logic.

BTW, you can use special search modes for

• namespaces (n)
• functions (fn)
• variables (reg, const and var) (v)
• symbols (namespaces, functions and variables) (s)
• files (f)

Just type the letters above, then a space and the search term, so if you're looking for a symbol named mySymbol, type in

s mySymbol

If you're looking for a file called MyFile.js, type in

f MyFi...

If you use the symbol / function / variables search mode it will also display a preview of the object when you select a line (this only works in symbol mode :

@Christoph-Hart Excellent, thank you, this looks very useful! Did you fix the shortcut key issue too?

[Christoph Hart]

@d-healey I think the issue is in this line:

https://github.com/christophhart/HISE/blob/fcfdcda74348bf4723479ea92e5ac497dd60f21a/hi_tools/hi_tools/MiscToolClasses.h#L584

It checks if the current key press is in the list of assigned key presses, however something on Linux messes with the default comparison operator so you might have to compare them manually (I don't have access to a Linux system at the moment so you need to get your hands dirty yourself). So instead of this line, add something like

for(auto ak: t->keyMap.getKeyPressesAssignedToCommand(idx))
{
     if(ak.mods == k.mods &&
        ak.getKeyCode() == k.getKeyCode())
     {
          return true;
     }
}

(the condition is totally bogus and won't compile), but you might try different things until you find something that works reliably :)

@Christoph-Hart Thank you, I'll play around with it.

[d.healey]

@Christoph-Hart I don't think that is where the problem is. I've been playing around with this some more and here are the steps to reproduce the problem and some things I notice.

Open HISE and go to File >> Edit Shortcuts

Scroll down to the Duplicate selection at cursor action, you will notice it is set to ctrl+ D and this does not work on GNU/Linux.

Click the + button and assign ctrl + D to the command.
It will look like this and will work on GNU/Linux.

Close HISE and open the KeyPressMappings.xml file. You will see ctrl + D has been added correctly.

Keep that file open and launch HISE, then close HISE. You'll see the mapping disappears from the xml file.

Do you need access to one? ;)

[d.healey]

Any chance of getting this looked at? My last post contains my most recent findings.

[d.healey]

@Christoph-Hart This one is still an issue, even if I set the key binding manually HISE forgets it (see my post a little further up).

Also in the script editor I used to be able to press ctrl+shift+up cursor to move the current line or selection up or down. This no longer works, although ctrl+shift+down does work.

Works here.

@aaronventure Oh yeah I should say this is a Linux issue (I think that's established earlier in the thread, but that's ancient history :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes: )
