vsx shortcut doesn't work - vsx

I'm now trying to add shortcut for my package. And I find this article which may be useful. As the article described, I add KeyBinding attribute in vsct file, like this:
<KeyBindings>
<KeyBinding guid="guidPackageTestCmdSet" id="commandId01" editor="guidVSStd97"
key1="M" mod1="Control" >
</KeyBinding>
when I run this package, you can see the shortcut info "Ctrl+M" at right of the command name, but it doesn't fires after I press control + M.

I am assuming you are creating for VS2010. Take a look at this page. Seems like Ctrl+M is a multiple binding. Once you press Ctrl+M check for the status bar in VS and you should be able to see it waiting for another command.

Return Key in Edit Command Mode Shortcuts - Jupyter Notebook

While willing to write ↩a as a new shortcut for the run all cells above command I could not find how to specify the return symbol in Jupyter Notebook.
Writing return-a or ↩-ain the Edit Command Mode does not work and the modifier is not specified in the help dialog.
Any idea?
Return is not a modifier so shortcut like ↩-a make little sens (pressing enter and A at the same time. ↩,a meaning Return key followed by A key make more sens, but Enter is so pervasive for many actions that it is not usable in user shortcuts. I would suggest you to open an issue on jupyter/notebook on GitHub to ask for return to be added as a convenient way to map to ↩ , though even if we do that we can't guaranty that it will work. If you are willing to try to code that yourself, have a look at keyboard.js, the mapping from enter to displaying ↩ is already done in quickhelp.js, for mac at least.

Commands not executing on keybind, but are executing from command pallet

Got an issue with keymapping commands:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5nrEO_t7Wo
As you can see in the video, when I call the commands by keyboard shortcut:
On the first attempt - the function isn't called.
On the second attempt - the function is called.
Where as, when I call the commands via the command pallet, the commands are called even on the first attempt. Not shown in the video, I can call the commands from the command pallet more than once without fail.
This leeds me to believe there is something wrong with my keymap.coffee:
'.editor:not(.mini)':
'shift-cmd-h': 'hex:view'
'alt-down':'editor:add-selection-below'
'alt-up':'editor:add-selection-above'
'.editor':
'cmd-k':'jxa:compile'
'shift-cmd-k':'jxa:compileApp'
'cmd-u':'jxa:execute'
However I can see nothing clearly wrong here... So perhaps there's something wrong with my init.js?
https://github.com/sancarn/JXA-Compile/blob/master/src/init.js
Any ideas?
This was solved by DamnedScholar here.
Okay, no. It's because cmd-k is bound to so many things. Go into Settings -> Keybindings and search for it and you'll see a lot of different things attached to it that are all bindings with multiple key presses. So when you press cmd-k, Atom waits to see what your next key press will be. You should consider using something different for jxa:compile.

How to catch user pressing escape key in Atom Package

I am developing an Atom package, and I have certain commands that get executed when I press Ctrl-Shift-Up.
The first time I press Ctrl-Shift-Up, Atom enters a "mode" where things happen differently. Now, I think I know how to do that part. But I don't know how to tell atom to hijack the Escape key.
You can assign a command to Esc through your package keymap.
Example:
'atom-text-editor:not([mini])':
'escape': 'my-package:do-stuff'
If your CtrlShift↑ shortcut creates a custom view, you would want to limit your shortcut to its CSS selector.
Example:
'.my-custom-view':
'escape': 'my-package:do-stuff'

How to set user command in Qt Fakevim?

(1) For example, I want to set map gd g* in Qt's Fakevim like below but failed.
(2) And also I'd like to set F3 as the save command, how to do it?
(3) In Fakevim, it provides an option "Read .vimrc", but where to find the file .vimrc?
Thank you!
It doesn't look like there is a lot of documentation for FakeVim, so official sources might not exist. Most of this was obtained by experimentation.
If you want to dig deeper, I guess there's no source as official as the actual source: http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-creator/qt-creator/blobs/0809986e501415fe2c8508800b94b5b3169dc048/src/plugins/fakevim/fakevimplugin.cpp
User commands
First off, realize that in Tools>Options>FakeVim>User Command Mapping, you're only setting what your user actions will perform, not how you perform them.
By default, user command #1 is triggered by pressing Alt-V, then 1.
Alt-V, then 2, triggers user action #2, and so on.
You can change the keyboard shortcuts through the general QtCreator configuration interface, under Tools>Options>Environment>Keyboard. There is a "FakeVim" section with all the user actions listed. Select your user action of choice, press the little "erase" icon in the input field under "Shortcut", then press your desired shortcut key, which should appear in the input field.
Second, to finish a command where you would normally press enter, you should literally type in <CR> after the commands. You also need to enter in ':' to enter command mode.
So if you wanted to map the vim save command, ":w", to F3 via FakeVim, you would:
Go to Tools>Options>FakeVim>User Command Mapping.
Enter ":w<CR>" as one of the user commands (say #7).
Go to Tools>Options>Environment>Keyboard.
Find the FakeVim action "UserAction7".
Set F3 as a shortcut for it.
Now, every time you're in the editor, you should be able to click F3 and have the FakeVim :w command execute, which will save your file.
Note that there is also an option to set a shortcut for "Save" directly in the QtCreator keyboard settings, so for this particular shortcut you don't actually need to go through FakeVim.
Setting shortcuts for other vim commands should be similar. Note that you're restricted to the subset of vim commands that FakeVim implements. Refer to the source, linked above, for checking any particular command you're wondering about.
Vimrc file
On Linux this would be ~/.vimrc, a file in the user's home directory. I presume you're asking about Windows.
The best source I can find is this bug report about it being hard to use Fakevim's vimrc on Windows: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-8748
Following that, the file Fakevim looks for is ".vimrc" in %USERPROFILE% (you can enter a name like that in Explorer to go to the folder). However, it's tricky to access a file with a name like that on Windows. (Thus why the real vim uses '_vimrc' on Windows -- but FakeVim apparently doesn't, at least at the moment.)
Here is a superuser page with workarounds for how to create such files on Windows: https://superuser.com/questions/64471/create-rename-a-file-folder-that-begins-with-a-dot-in-windows

How to Right click of File in Windows Explorer by AutoIt

I wish to simulate a right click on a file. This is done by opening a Windows Explorer window and then right clicking on it.
The main issue is finding the location of the file in Windows Explorer. I am currently using Autoit v3.3.8.1.
My code 's first line:
RunWait (EXPLORER.EXE /n,/e,/select,<filepath>)
The next step is the problem. Finding the coordinates of the file.
After that, right clicking at that coordinates (it seems to me at this time) is not a problem....
Some background:
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
Software Languages: C#, Autoit (for scripting)
The Autoit script is called by a code similar to that below:
Process p = new Process();
p.StartInfo.FileName = "AutoItScript.exe";
p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
p.Start();
The code is compiled into a console class file which is run at startup. The autoit script runs as the explorer window opens up.
It seems as though you are taking the wrong approach to the problem, so I'll answer what you are asking and what you should be asking.
First up though, that line of code is not valid, and is not what you want either. You want to automate the explorer window, and RunWait waits for the program to finish. Furthermore you want those items to be strings, that code would never work.
Finding the item in explorer
The explorer window is just a listview, and so you can use normal listview messages to find the coordinates of an item. This is done most simply by AutoIt's GUIListView library:
#include<GUIListView.au3>
Local $filepath = "D:\test.txt"
Local $iPid = Run("explorer.exe /n,/e,/select," & $filepath)
ProcessWait($iPid)
Sleep(1000)
Local $hList = ControlGetHandle("[CLASS:CabinetWClass]", "", "[CLASS:SysListView32; INSTANCE:1]")
Local $aClient = WinGetPos($hList)
Local $aPos = _GUICtrlListView_GetItemPosition($hList, _GUICtrlListView_GetSelectedIndices($hList))
MouseClick("Right", $aClient[0] + $aPos[0] + 4, $aClient[1] + $aPos[1] + 4)
As has already been mentioned, sending the menu key is definitely a better way than having to move the mouse.
Executing a subitem directly
This is how it should be done. Ideally you should never need an explorer window open at all, and everything can be automated in the background. This should always be what you aim to achieve, as AutoIt is more than capable in most cases. It all depends on what item you want to click. If it is one of the first few items for opening the file in various programs, then it is as simple as either:
Using ShellExecute, setting the verb parameter to whatever it is you want to do.
Checking the registry to find the exact command line used by the program. For this you will need to look under HKCR\.ext where ext is the file extension, the default value will be the name of another key in HKCR which has the actions and icon associated with the filetype. This is pretty well documented online, so google it.
If the action is not one of the program actions (so is built into explorer) then it is a little more complex. Usually the best way will be to look at task manager when you start the program and see what it runs. Other things can be found online, for example (un)zipping. Actions like copy, delete, rename, create shortcut, send to... They can all be done directly from AutoIt with the various File* functions.
With more information, it would be possible to give you more specific help.
First, you might want to look at the Microsoft Active Accessibility SDK. In particular look at this interface...
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/accessibility.iaccessible.aspx
You can use this to walk the items in the control and find the one with the file name you are looking for and its screen location.
From there, maybe try something like this for simulating the right click.
How can I use automation to right-click with a mouse in Windows 7?
Once you have done the right click, use accessibility again to find the right option on the context menu.
Maybe there's an easier way, you should be able to cobble something together like this if you don't find one. Good luck!
Suppose I have a file named test.txt on D drive. It needs to right click for opening Context Menu. To do this, the following code should work:
Local $filepath = "D:\test.txt"
Local $iPid = Run("explorer.exe /n,/e,/select," & $filepath)
ProcessWait($iPid)
Sleep(1000)
Send('+{F10}')
