#17 Problem with shortcuts

[dwelch91]

If you change the shortcuts with Options | Configure
shortcuts, save them and then exit, they will not work
again upon restarting CUTE and opening the configure
shortcuts dialog again.

Just as an aside, the default shortcuts are very
non-standard and require a lot of tweaking to get them
into some standard form. Even universal shortcuts like
Cut (Crtl-X), Paste (Ctrl-V), and Copy (Ctrl-C) are not
the default.

Yes, this started with 0.2.6.

Fortunately there's an easy workaround. Each time you load
CUTE, go to Options > Configure Shortcuts. The dialog will
appear. Click its OK button, without changing anything, and
your preferred shortcuts will reappear.

It's a minor nuisance, IMO easily outweighed by CUTE's many
virtues.

I change this il the .cuterc file : map("paste", "Ctrl+V")

and I compile : Extra -> compile current file ...

But the CTRL-V still not work ... I have the SHIFT instead ...

It seems that CUTE has crashed, so the .cuterc was not modified.

I have had CUTE crash otu a few times, not saving my changes
to shortcuts - I wander if it may be wise in new versions to
save out the shortcuts when exiting the dialog, not when
exiting CUTE?

As a comment to the second point - I thoroughly agree. It
might be worth having a selection of default bindings - like:
Cute default
Standard (CTRL_V,X and C as well as ctrl f-find, ctrl-s
save, f3 find next etc)

And others (You could even do VI bindings if you wanted).
This would save many users making the wholesale changes key
by key.
