#173 Hang when Assigning Key to Action

[Anonymous]

The default keystroke for both start & stop recording a
keystroke macro is "Alt-Shift-S". I can change the
start recording action to "F7" OK, but when I try to
also assign it to stop recording syn hangs. I am using
V3.0.0.2.

Great editor BTW!

The keyboard assignments have changed in CVS and assigning
the same key stroke to two separate actions (actMacroRecord
and actMacroRecordStop) is no longer possible.

Should this be allowed, or should a new action
(actMacroRecordToggle?) be created that would allow the same
keystroke to be used to turn record on and off. Opinions?

I can only say, that it is very comfortable to have one
shortcut for Start/Stop macro recording - one less to
remember :-) actMacroRecordToggle sounds good for me... And
it can replace other two, IMHO.

Well, that's two votes for actMacroRecordToggle. I'll see
about switching to actMacroRecordToggle on the default
Action pallet also.

Probably the actMacroRecord and actMacroRecordStop should be
left for backwards compatiblity ,esp scripting.

I don't think that we have *so* much users to pay so much
attention on backward compatiblity. Clean code and actions
is what is much more important at the current state of the
project, IMHO.
