      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, 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…

              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

                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

                  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

                    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

                      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

                          Interesting approach to get some of the shortcuts. :)

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

                                  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

                                      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 FindWindowW call, even though the window is opened by the script. Looking closer, I see in the call it is looking for Shortcut mapper but my window title is Shortcut Mapper. But changing the script to have a capital M makes no difference; zero still returned…
