Keywords: Disable WinBatch Studio Keyboard Shortcut NUMPAD Minus - Hyphen Dash {NUMPAD-} Hotkey Context Menu
It seems pretty dangerous to me. I have several times lost lines of code after hitting what seems like an innocent key on the numeric keypad.
It would be nice if it could be turned off.
However, here is a workaround to disable the NUMPAD Minus keyboard shortcut.
In addition to the standard methods for executing a context menu item in WinBatch Studio (double-clicking on it, highlighting it and pressing Enter, or using Alt the underlined letter), you can define optional hotkeys for your menu items. Hotkeys will cause an item to be executed immediately upon pressing the designated hot key. Hotkeys are defined by following the menu item with a backslash (\) and then the hotkey
The hotkey used in the WinBatch Context Menu ( wsp-user.mnu ) trumps the predefined keyboard shortcuts in WinBatch Studio.
Therefore in order to disable NUMPAD Minus keyboard shortcut, you can set up a dummy Context Menu option ( that doesn't display ) with the same NUMPAD Minus hotkey.
@Ignore_Numpad_Minus \ {NUMPAD-} Ignore_Numpad_Minus = 1Note: the @ sign at the beginning of the menu title, tells the menu option to NOT display.
