List of all assigned keyboard shortcuts
-
Maybe it would be best if N++ itself had a feature to export this infos. :P
-
the shortcut mapper dialog seems to be the trusted source in this situation, isn’t it?
As it is a blocking dialog we start it in a different thread and then searching for the tabsyscontrol
and then with some magic ctypes we should be able to get the shortcuts currently configured.
Hmm, fun project - I guess I’ll give it a try :-) -
unfortunately TCM_SETCURSEL doesn’t trigger babygrid to be updated therefore I had to use keybd_event but seems to work.

Hmmm, poking around this a little bit…
I get zero returned from the
FindWindowWcall, even though the window is opened by the script. Looking closer, I see in the call it is looking forShortcut mapperbut my window title isShortcut Mapper. But changing the script to have a capitalMmakes no difference; zero still returned… -
strange, which npp version do you use?
-
I tried it with 7.6.6(64bit) and 7.7.1(32bit).
And title is on both Shortcut mapper -

In answering this question, I went down a road with a fork in it. I took the fork.
Seriously, though, I’m using 7.7.1 32-bit.
At first I thought, well, okay, maybe I changed
Shortcut mappertoShortcut Mapperin myenglish_customizable.xmlfile. So I grabbed a fresh portable 7.7.1 32-bit and ran it and I seeShortcut mapper. Then I change the Localization setting toEnglishand I seeShortcut Mapper. TryingEnglish (customizable)I also seeShortcut Mapper.Note: In my real copy of N++ I also run with
english_customizable.xml.So I suppose I now know where the
Mversusmappears from. Re-running my fresh copy of N++ after choosingEnglishfrom the menu results inShortcut mapperagain, so I’m not sure but really would like to understand what it takes to make a Localization choice “stick”… But that’s another issue. Maybe if one chooses anything besidesEnglish, it sticks, but if you chooseEnglishnothing happens on the next run, because the default language is supposed to be that, and in reality the base localization and the english.xml file, which probably should be the same…aren’t. Little, subtle differences… But all that, as I said, is a different issue…I dabbled a bit more with the script and I think I see why I’m getting zero for the hwnd. If I increase the sleep time to something like 5 seconds and run the script, it seems like I should see the Shortcut Mapper window pop up fairly quickly and then somewhat of a delay before the rest of the code runs. In reality the window popping up seems to be delayed by the 5 seconds as well. So I suspect that maybe the window really isn’t there yet for
FindWindowWto find it…? -
that localization thing confuses me every time I use it.
What happens if you use this
from threading import Thread import time def start_sk_dialog(): notepad.menuCommand(MENUCOMMAND.SETTING_SHORTCUT_MAPPER) sk_mapper = Thread(target=start_sk_dialog) sk_mapper.start() time.sleep(5) print 'done'For me it opens the dialog very quickly and after 5 seconds I see the done
in the console but dialog still open. -

LOL.
I think I solved the mystery of the script. I have a little script-runner script that allows me to run the current .py file, so I don’t have to always go
Plugins>Pythonscript>Scripts> (find my script) over and over with the mouse. This is handy for trying out temporary scripts that I haven’t bound to a keycombo (e.g. yours).If I DO run your script via the menu method and NOT via my script-runner, all goes as planned and I achieve your list of keycombinations! Well done! I’m not sure why my script-runner interferes, but I don’t care enough to go and figure that out. But…sorry for creating additional trouble for you due to all the troubleshooting, that was completely my fault.

I’m calling this thread incomplete until someone provides the full listing of a default set of keycombo assignments for Notepad++ 7.7.1, as output by the script shown above. As no one has done that yet, well… :

Hmmm, well there seems to be some gremlins in the machinery in the above script/listing, as
Trim Trailing Space and Saveis listed twice (the second appearance it is tied toGet PHP help’s default keycombo), and the defaultRun commandsofGet PHP help,Wikipedia Search, andOpen file in another instancedon’t appear at all… :( -
looks like a timing issue, seems that user32.keybd_event returns to fast.
Put a time.sleep(.1) after the second user32.keybd_event and it should be ok. -
Yes, with that addition it appears OK. Once again, hopefully a correct Notepad++ 7.7.1 default keymapping list is:

looped it 500 times and returned always with the same 181 defined shortcuts
but who knows how this runs on a much slower or faster machine than mine??
I haven’t digged deeper if there is another way to switch the tabs then simulating the tab key event, preferable via winapi, but I guess adjusting a timer shouldn’t be an issue. -
Thanks. I’ve also found virtual typing keyboard and its shortcut keys. Check and let me know whether it may help you,

I wanted to use command ID for context menu commands.
Partial, discombobulated list: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/blob/master/PowerEditor/src/menuCmdID.h#L40
NppUISpy: Does not list all the commands to a file, but does have all the info needed to make such a list.
I just wanted to add a context menu, I did not want to do research.

@Gubith I see this thread is old. But I found it useful. I used one of the python scripts above to generate the list. {thanks!} Then I imported the output into Excel. I added three functions there.
Column A Function description Column B Shortcut key Column C Control Combination =IFERROR(LEFT(B2,FIND("^",SUBSTITUTE(B2,"+","^",LEN(B2)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(B2,"+",""))))-1),"") Column D Key =IFERROR(RIGHT(B2,LEN(B2)-(FIND("^",SUBSTITUTE(B2,"+","^",LEN(B2)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(B2,"+","")))))),B2) Column E Type =IF(LEN(D2)>1,"[Function]","[Alpha]")I’m played around with Python a little bit, but I knew I could whip this up with Excel much faster, plus alter the sort order at will when I was done. It allowed me to quickly find what keys I might grab to assign for my own functions. Such as sort by type, key, control. I realize I could all be done in Python, but I didn’t want to the the time to figure it out.

My project KeyCombiner now has a Notepad++ collection with all default bindings listed in Notepad++'s Shortcut Mapper. The table can be searched and filtered extensively. Also, the shortcuts are mapped onto a virtual keyboard for quick and efficient exploration: https://keycombiner.com/collections/notepad/
Thanks, @Alan-Kilborn for your list in this thread. Most of the shortcuts in KeyCombiner’s table are from this list. I only added a couple of additional default bindings that I suppose were added recently. Hope this is useful for someone! It definitely helped me finding available combinations.

It’s often said that “a picture is worth 10000 words”, but in your case I think you need some words to go along with the pic.
And probably, those words should be in English, as it seems like we have to keep reminding you.
I think if you don’t heed the advice, and keep posting, people are going to get absolutely nothing out of your posts.
