Possible to disable these mush client specific shortcuts?

Ctrl+w
Ctrl+t
Ctrl+r
Ctrl+f
Ctrl+g
Ctrl+u
Ctrl+l
Ctrl+n

Problem is that I find myself often hitting the ctrl button with my palm when I write, having a keyboard with a large and wide wrist support, and having those events pop up often is irritating. I dont recall having such problems with shortcuts in earlier versions of mushclient.

I don't think that has changed recently, but just go into the World configuration -> Macros, and edit each one of those, replacing "take" or whatever by an empty string (ie. delete what is there).

Managed to stop the macros that would pop up words like whisper and take as I saw there was specific ones for those commands.

Ctrl+r Repeats last send to the world
Ctrl+f Finds text

is however still a problem, no macros present with them in the list, nor is it possible to add new ones to make blank commands.


Edit: Seems as soon I shutdown the client and restarts, the macros reverts to standard, ignoring all the edits made. Been trying to save them after Ive removed the text strings from those having them and set it as the default macros file to load upon startup, no worky.

Hmm. They should save. But anyway. To cater for the ones not in the list you can make your own accelerators. For example:



This says if you type Ctrl+R send an empty string to the script engine (ie. do nothing).

You would need one such for each of the ctrl keys you want to suppress.

These won't save either, but see:



That shows a small plugin you can make which will remember the accelerator keys. Just amend the middle to be like what I showed above, save that as a plugin and install it.

Created the accelerators.xml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

-- add more here ...

-- list them
for _, v in ipairs (AcceleratorList ()) do Note (v) end

end -- function OnPluginInstall

</script>
</muclient>


But upon installing the plugin, this message appears:

Error number: 0
Event: Run-time error
Description: [string "Plugin"]:15: bad argument #1 to 'ipairs' (table expected, got nil)

stack traceback:

Reason: Executing plugin Accelerators sub OnPluginInstall

Looks like you have to have a space between the quotes. This worked OK for me:

That did the trick and they are saved on restart :)

no more bothersome shortcuts. Thank you.
