How to find command names for keyboard shortcut use.

Postby rcon » Wed Jan 19, 2005 2:22 pm

Is there a good way to find the names of each menu command for keyboard binding? I would think this should be in the help menu, or listed in the menu editor.

(I'm specifically looking for a command to toggle "Show Spaces/Tabs".)

Thanks. That's what I was looking for.

I just wish there was a better way to find what I was looking for.

I agree. Customizing keyboard shortcuts, menus, and toolbars is currently quite clumsy in UltraEdit. I hope that v11 brings a bit more usability in this respect. For example, it would be quite nice if you could assign keyboard shortcuts from the same dialog that lets you modify the menues.

Why? Because what you usually do is to first use the menu to invoke a certain command. Then you find out that you do this quite often. And then you decide to assign a shortcut. You already know where to find the command in the menues, but you now have to guess where you can find it in the assign-shortcut dialog.
