List of free keyboard shortcuts
-
When I create a command using the Run menu, the ideal is to save it by assigning a shortcut key. The problem is that you no longer know what the
availableFree shorcuts combinations are.Ideally, in the Settings >Shorcuts Mapper… option, the lists will present all the assigned and unassigned keys, and that like the windows explorer these lists would be sorted by the column whose header is clicked.
As this is not a requirement!, only is another idea…, "Such a list in one of the entries of the User manual, organized by function and by shortcut combination, including free combinations!..
Do the Notepad++ have any
.xmlfile where you can find out something about that availability?.For what?
Suppose I need 5 contiguous key combinations to assign each one a Web browser. -
@José-Luis-Montero-Castellanos
Do the Notepad++ have any .xml file where you can find out something about that availability?.
No. Default shortcuts are compiled into the executable, so aren’t in any config file; modified shortcuts end up in shortcuts.xml.
A few years back, someone published a script for the PythonScript plugin that shows all the active shortcuts. Unfortunately, I haven’t found it yet (I found this, which deletes all existing shortcuts… but I know there was one one that listed them all; I will search more as I have time.)
But not even that lists all the possible shortcuts that haven’t been assigned.
edit: Found it = https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/12576/list-of-all-assigned-keyboard-shortcuts => specifically, @Ekopalypse 's post here and the discussion below that.

So the script you posted is an updated version of the script that lists the assigned keycombos for shortcuts.
And (for those that don’t have the ability to run it), the assigned list for Notepad++ 8.4.7 with only shipped-with plugins, is:

@Alan-Kilborn
Hello:
I am speechless, there are still quite a few unassigned keyboard shortcuts.
I’m going to make a copy and save it in the same Notepad++ folder to keep it handy. Also the script.
I thank you for your kind contribution, which I hope everyone can take advantage of and benefit from.
I think I have a way to attach it to the offline “user manual” :)Success in your work!

I can’t thank @Alan-Kilborn enough for his script, it really helped me. It’s anxiety inducing setting a custom shortcut not knowing if there is a better and more ergonomic one out there going to waste, for me at least.
With the new mutli-select shortcuts the script may fail because of the colon char in some of it’s descriptions. So I fixed that and also added the <> “key”, which was missing.
I also joined them as one, hope that’s ok:

What’s the “<> key” ?
-
@Alan-Kilborn, this one:
It’s not really a key per se, unless you are using the German layout, not sure how it’s handled in the US layout though.
