Tools > Keyboard shortcuts: some things still being worked on

[tannerhelland]

• Toolbox hotkey editing

Right now, only menu shortcuts can be edited in the Tools > Keyboard shortcuts dialog. I am currently working on adding the ability to change toolbox hotkey too (e.g. "S" for rectangular and elliptical selections, "T" for text). These are tricky to handle because they do support duplicate hotkey usage, unlike menu hotkeys, so I've saved them for last.

• Hotkeys for menus that are not persistent

Some non-persistent menus - like File > Open Recent entries, which only exist sometimes - have default hotkeys assigned (e.g. Ctrl+Shift+1 for the most-recent image file).

These are not currently editable in the Tools > Keyboard shortcuts dialog. I am working to add support for modifying these and/or reassigning their shortcuts elsewhere.

I will post other TODO items here as I encounter them, but these are the main remaining issues I'm focused on right now.

I've changed a few shortcuts and it seems to work. I did notice a minor niggle, I have changed some font settings on my Win 11 system and as you can see the in the screenshot below the font is too large for the listbox/listview? control - you can still use it but perhaps there is an easy fix.

Thank you for the bug report, @hi5! I apologize for not testing this under high-DPI displays.

I've committed a fix and it should now be working in the latest nightly build. (I just tested 150% on a laptop and the hotkeys treeview looked OK.)

Thanks again 🙏

So far so good, thanks for the fix, I saw that it was a lot of work ;)
