Should any key be usable for shortcuts?

Post by stax76 »

I would much prefer if any key would be available for shortcut action use.

Note that a scripter can easily write an addon that will disable this feature.

e.g. by overriding the SearchBar.comeIn() method to not accept 'activelist' search type.

any tip on this is very welcome, first I need to improve my HTML/JavaScript knowledge, 2006 in MM4 it was slightly complicated, see here:

Just create a script (folder under /Scripts/) with file /controls/searchBar_add.js

Namely [your MM5 install folder]/scripts/[YourScriptName]/controls/searchBar_add.js

with following content:

Code: Select all

SearchBar.prototype._orig_comeIn = SearchBar.prototype.comeIn;

SearchBar.prototype.comeIn = function (params) {
    if (params.searchType != 'activelist')
        this._orig_comeIn(params);
}
You can add also info.json, zip it and rename it to *.mmip so that others can easily install it as an extension.
