Recent Addition: Special Shortcuts
One of the last addition in SEPY 1.5 was the “Special Shortcuts” feature.
This allows developers to create their own commands and assign a defid shortcut by selecting one or more commands from a specified list.
You can access from the keyboard shortcuts menu item (under tools).
Once the shortcuts panel has been opened select from the left list “Special Shortcuts”. Now you can add your commands using the “Add” button in the bottom right side of the panel.
Select one or more commands from the list you will see, give a it name (which will be used in the main menu), click ok and then assign it a shortcut.
*The only boring thing is that you must restart the application in order to have your new shortcuts working*

Hi Alessandro!
The shortcuts work great, no really great!!!
A questions about shortcuts….
i added a shortcut for mtasc compite and it’s working like a charm.
What would be even nicer is an addition of being able to really compile with mtasc with a shortcut instead of opening the dialog.
That is not possible at the moment is it?
Or is there a way with these new shortcuts to do it?

Hello!
I’m using SE|PY to edit xml files. There’s on shortcut I’m missing that would be great to have, and I havn’t found it yet. That is to be able to select an entire XML node from the keyboard.
Thanx for a great editor
