[Dev-CPP 4.9.9.2] New keyboard shortcuts?

[Nobody/Anonymous]

Hello.

The familiar keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+Tab (Window:Next) and Ctrl+Shift+Tab (Window:Previous) are, for some reason, replaced with F4 and F5 in this release.

How do I change them back to the familiar keyboard shortcuts, when the configuration dialog box won't let me enter the tab key, without it being intercepted?

Thanks,
RS

Thanks, specu.

I searched the FAQ section -and- looked for relevant configuration files, like a good citizen, but guess what, Dev-CPP doesn't create the relevant file unless you enter Configure Shortcuts and then choose OK (not Cancel). I would kind of figure it out if I saw a file named "devshortcuts.cfg".

To anyone else looking for this info (hi Google), here's a summary:

Location:
%AppData%\Dev-CPP

(Copy/Paste the string above to the address bar of the Explorer window under 2000/XP, and it will resolve to the correct folder.)

File:
devshortcuts.cfg

If it's not there, enter Tools|Configure Shortcuts and hit OK (not Cancel) to have Dev-CPP generate it, then find your way to the following settings.

Settings:
Window:Next=Ctrl+Tab
Window:Previous=Ctrl+Shift+Tab

Cha-cha-cha!

this is for dev-c++ 4992 and up. previously it was in LOCAL_APPDATA which I don't think has env variable

You are correct. For earlier version you could do something like this:

%UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application Data

However, this will not work for non-English versions of Windows, because the relevant system folder names are also translated. But I'd have faith in people knowing enough English to translate "Local Settings" and "Application Data" to their native language, or fall back to a file search.

Review..

Location (Dev-CPP Version => 4.9.9.2)::
%AppData%\Dev-CPP

(Windows 2000/XP/...)

Location (Dev-CPP Version < 4.9.9.2)::
%UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application Data

(Windows 2000/XP/...)

Cheers!
