Can't map Command-g
« on: October 13, 2022, 06:57:53 pm »

In MC30.0.18 there was a new command added to "clear search box".  It's MCC 22042.  I mapped it to command-g (by using "Ctrl-G" in the Resource.xml file).  That worked, but 22042 was doing some weird stuff.  Matt changed it so it works really well now.  I just downloaded MC30.0.20 and remapped that key again.

No go.  I thought the MCC was broken, but then I tried another key and it worked.  I currently have it mapped to Command-h (Ctrl;H).

Any idea why Command-G is no longer available?

Thanks,
Brian.

It's possible I broke that. I was trying to see if a missing alt command could be implemented. Check it again the next build.

Thanks very much.  I'll try again with the next build.

I'm guessing the fix didn't make it into MC30.0.21 that was released today.  I just tried "Ctrl;G" again and it's the same as before. 

No big deal.  I've got a workaround until whenever it gets changed or even indefinitely.

Thanks,
Brian.

On Windows, Ctrl+G collapses the tree. Is that the same on a Mac? Could your choice be clashing with that?

I would have thought so for SURE because I've seen that behavior before I tried mapping it.  But in MC30.0.18, I was able to map Ctrl;G successfully.  At MC30.0.20 and 21 it no longer works.

Can you share what you did in the resource file to map it?
Thanks.

This is the relevant part of the file:

Code: [Select]

    <!-- Go to search box -->
    <Entry Key="Ctrl;F" Command="22022" />
    <!-- Clear Search Box -->
    <Entry Key="Ctrl;H" Command="22042" />


As you can see, it's mapped to control-h, which is command-h on Mac.  Previously I had a "G" where the "H" is.

If you need any other details, let me know.  Thanks for taking the time to look.

Did you remove the entry for Ctrl;G a few lines down below that?
When I do everything works fine.
That Resource.xml gets overwritten on every MC build installed so you need to keep one around and overwrite it each time OR just put a copy in
~/Library/Application Support/Media Center 30/Data/Custom Resources

I'm only using the Data/Custom Resources/Resource.xml file.  I don't edit the one that's inside Application package (inside the app).

I just tried it again and got it working using MC30.0.21.

I think know why.  I had done a workaround when it stopped working.  The workaround was to have Alfred convert the Command-g hot key into Command-h.  I had disconnected the two in Alfred for testing, but I didn't *erase* the hotkey capture in Alfred so I think Alfred was "eating the key".

Sorry about any extra effort I put you through.  It does seem to work now in 30.0.21.  Yay!
