List of all assigned keyboard shortcuts

guy038

Hi, Scott and All,

So, continuation of my previous post !

NOTES :

I named this table Synthesis.cpp. By that means, in that C++ Source file, the MenuId and ScintillaID numbers, as well the the keys numbers, coloured in orange, are easy to see !
The first column give the different ways to associate a shortcut, to each command, in the shortcut Mapper :
- The notations xx and // refer to commands that produce no result or that are not used !
- The notations RU, PL and SC refer to usual Run, Plugins or Scintilla commands
- The notation MA refer to commands which can be run, via a Macro, exclusively, with an associated shortcut
- When, for a specific line, the Type column is EMPTY, this means that a shortcut can be associated to that command, either :
  - by using the Shortcut Mapper
  - by creating a Macro and its associated shortcut

In the second table, below, for the example shortcut, associated to the Alt + F12 keys, you’ll find, depending on the Type notation, the correct line(s) to add, in the noticed Shortcut.xml node :

*------*-----------------------*----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*

Refer, also, to the link below :

http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php/Editing_Configuration_Files#.3CMacros.3E

The second column shows the N++ menu, where each command belongs
The third column displays, when possible, the N++ command name, of each command, given in the same ORDER than they appear in N++ menus
The fourth column contains the five digits NumID of each Notepad++ command or the four digits SciID of each Scintilla command
The four following columns give the description of the default shortcut of each command, in Notepad++, v7.2
The two following columns display the hexadecimal and decimal forms of the Windows VK_ value, of the key, used in each shortcut, or the hex 0x00 value for the VK_NULL key. Note that the decimal value is the scan-code, used by the Key tag, in the shortcuts.xml file

Refer, also, to the two links below :

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd375731(v=vs.85).aspx

http://ascii-table.com/keyboards.php

Then, the remaining columns refer to a table, closed to the previous one, relative to the Shortcut Mapper, itself :

The 11th column notices, in which tab of the Shortcut Mapper, each command is indicated
The 12th column gives the ORDER number of each command, indicated in the Shortcut Mapper
The 13 column shows, when possible, the Scintilla name of each command
The 14th and last column, just displays possible notes, about each command, if any

Remark : As this table is ordered, according to the occurring of commands in N++ menus, this same list, in the Shortcut Mapper table, may differ, in few locations, from the real list of the N++ Shortcut Mapper ( See, for instance, the set of the 8 Sort commands ! )

Hi, Scott and All,

Final post !

BTW, if, from that 700 lines list, you want to extract, in one go, the 191 default shortcuts, used in N++ v7.2, just perform the following S/R, in Regular expression mode, that deletes any line which does not have a VK name, ( different from VK_NULL ), inside the 8th column !

SEARCH (?-s)^(?=.{108}(VK_NULL |[ -])).+\R

REPLACE EMPTY

So, from that narrowed list and/or from the complete one, you should easily update the list of all your own shortcuts, shouldn’t you ?

Best Regards

Hi @guy038
I would really like to see your list.
Can I get that list?
Thanks in advance
my email: macgyver204@gmail.com

Hi, Macgryver Johnson and Scott,

I sent you my Synthesis.cpp file, few minutes ago, by e-mail to both of you

Cheers

This comes from the Notepad++ sites homepage. Scroll down to the bottom it is the last option. Hope it helps…Peace…

IvyNo

Hi,
I know these posts are pretty old, but I hope I can still get the list.
Would you please send it to my email ivy.noname@web.de
Thanks a lot

guy038

Hello, @IvyNo,

These next days, I’ll try to update the old list of Notepad++ and Scintilla commands, which I talk about in my first post of this thread, above. So, from the v7.2 version you’ll get the last v7.7 version of this file.

Remember that this file is, simply, a personal synthesis of some data from the 3 files Parameters.cpp, keys.h and menuCmdID.h, normally located in folder notepad-plus-plus-7.7\PowerEditor\src of the archive notepad-plus-plus-7.7.zip

So, please, let me a couple of days to get it right and I’ll send you this Synthesis.cpp file, as well as the default complete list of N++ v7.7 shortcuts, bye-mail ;-))

Best Regards,

guy038

IvyNo

Hi Guy038,
Thanks a lot for your fast answer.
There is no hurry, take your time, I am happy to get the list, no matter when :-)
Kind regards

guy038

Hi, @IvyNo,

Sorry for the long delay :-( First, I spent a week on vacation for a family celebration ( at the seaside !), then I helped a friend of my wife’s for computer problems and I had to prepare for my daughter’s future move, next Saturday ! And, of course, I delved into the source files of Notapad+++ 7.7.0 !

I sent you a mail, some minutes ago, with 6 attached files :

Synthesis.cpp, which recapitulates all Notepad++ 7.7.0 internal commands and corresponding Scintilla messages
SCI_list.cpp, which contains all messages and values of the ...\Scintilla\include\Scintilla.h file
Shortcuts_list.cpp, which lists all default shortcuts of Notepad++ 7.7.0

and, for information :

Define_list.cpp, which recapitulates all #define statements, referring to a numeric or string value, found in all the source files
Enum_List.cpp, which contains all enumerations from the ...\Scintilla\include\Scintilla.iface file
Keys_US.cpp, which lists all the scan codes of a traditional US keyboard

Note :

These .cpp files could have been renamed as simple .txt files. But, by doing so, we just take advantage of the highlighting of numerical values and strings and of the folding, due to the pair { and } :-))

I just hope that you’ll find useful some part of all that stuff, anyway !

Best Regards,

guy038

Hi @guy038
I have been looking for a similar table for a long time. Can I see the results of your labors? jang.spb@gmail.com

If I could iterate through it in a python code snippet would work

Just in case some else has the same requirement

@Ekopalypse

Interesting approach to get some of the shortcuts. :)

Ekopalypse

@Alan-Kilborn

Why some? What did I miss?

Alan Kilborn

@Ekopalypse

Well, just as one example, most (if not all) Scintilla commands that have shortcuts in Shortcut Mapper are not output by the script.

Ekopalypse

@Alan-Kilborn

You are right, how could I miss those?
Damn it.

Alan Kilborn

@Ekopalypse

I have seen this thread before, but didn’t have any new ideas about it. When I saw your recent efforts, I thought it was interesting as I hadn’t thought about that kind of approach. So now I’m thinking, if the Shortcut Mapper info is left in memory (after being invoked once?), could some ctypes magic find it and report it? I don’t know enough about the internals, IIRC doesn’t it use something called BabyGrid or something like that?

Not sure about it, digging in npps memory seems to be a dangerous place :-D

Alan Kilborn

Maybe it would be best if N++ itself had a feature to export this infos. :P

Ekopalypse

@Alan-Kilborn

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 :-)
