shortcuts.xml
-
I have question that is merely ment to satisfy my curiosity.
In shortcuts.xml almost all definitions are mutually exclusive: either the command comes from PowerEditor, or from Scintilla. The exception is:
<ScintKey ScintID="2469" menuCmdID="42010" Ctrl="yes" Alt="no" Shift="no" Key="68" />.
This definition seems to assign simultaneouslyctrl+Dto"2469"(“SCI_SELECTIONDUPLICATE”) and to"42010"(“IDM_EDIT_DUP_LINE”).When I look at Settings > Shortcut Mapper, I only find an association of
ctrl+Dwith “SCI_SELECTIONDUPLICATE”.In actual practice it seems that
ctrl+Dduplicates both selections and lines. My question is: what is the priority of key association? And if two commands are associated with the same key, what circumstance determines which command is executed? -
Ah, you may have stumbled upon the answer to a really old question (discussed here before) about this…

And it seems like you were one of the people questioning this before: https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/23791/

@Alan-Kilborn I’m deeply embarrassed, not yet a year ago almost the same question! I must see dr. Alzheimer.

No worries; the refreshing of the topic has made me put forth a potential fix; see https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/pull/14255
I think back at the times of original discussion, I wasn’t brave enough to attempt a code change to Notepad++. :-)

Will be fixed with the release of Notepad++ 8.5.9!
