Hi,

I am always running out of spots on my keypad.. is it possible to extend the config to allow SHIFT keypad and/or ALT keypad command spots?

thanks!

PS I love mush :)

You can use the scripting function Accelerator() to set up keybindings. It's not as simple as the macro or keypad dialog, but it's still pretty simple.

Accelerator("Alt+Numpad4", "west")

Accelerator

The documentation for the Accelerator script function is available online. It is also in the MUSHclient help file.

Please read the MUSHclient FAQ - point 39.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.. I knew about accelerators, just a lot of the people i support with mush (about 20 of them) just aren't savvy enough to understand all the concepts without me spinning off a plugin for them with the accelerators pre-defined and telling then how to copy ait and install it.. and to edit it in notepad.. not word.. etc..

I was just hoping the keyboard config window could come pre-baked with support for other keypad chords.

Yeah, I've never quite understood why the macros dialog isn't just an interface for defining accelerators.

I cannot agree with Fiendish enough. Having macros just be a accelerator configurator would be ideal.
