## Usage

.. note:: See `Tools --> Options --> General --> Keyboard` for a list of available items. Make a selection from the list and use the controls below to create, change or remove an assignment!

## Features

- Re-assign top level menu accelerator keys.
- Re-assign menu item shortcut keys.
- Re-assign toolbar shortcut keys.

**Some Example of my favourites:**

- Change the `Edit` menu accelerator from `Alt-E` to `Alt-I`. This frees `Alt+E` to open the embed editor from the Application Tree.
- Same as above for the `Project` menu.
- I also adjust `Search` to work in conjunction with the `Open Source` feature of the :doc:`MainToolbarExtras` addin
- Remove the shortcut assigned to `Reload File` allows `Debug --> Make and Run All` to work!
- Change `Next Filled Embed` shortcut from `Control-J` to `Control-Alt-J` to allow snippets to work. More info `here <http://support.fushnisoft.com/thebuggenie/wiki/CodeSnippets>`\_
- Assign `Control-Tab` and `Control-Shift-Tab` for `Window --> Next Window` and `Window --> Prev Window`

## Release Notes

**Release:** 0.11, 25 April 2012

> **CHANGE:** Removed ClarionAddins global addin dependency.  
> **CHANGE:** Will now build the option dialog node if the global ClarionAddins addin is not found.

**Release:** 0.10, 18 April 2012

> **CHANGE:** Now has ClarionAddins global addin dependency.  
> **CHANGE:** Options panel is now in ClarionAddins options section!

**Release:** 0.9, 3 March 2012

> **FIX:** The assignment of new shortcuts now handles exceptions quietly so as to not stop the IDE from loading in case of a problem!

**Release:** 0.8, 3 March 2012

> **FIX:** Toolbar items have been excluded. This is a temporary situation until I can work out how to handle them correctly.

**Release:** 0.7, 11 January 2012

> **FEATURE:** Now supports changing the text of the top level menu labels. This allows you to adjust the accelerator key used!

**Release:** 0.6, 20 October 2011

> **FIX:** Options dialog now ignores menu items that were not detected when the IDE starts up. At the moment it is not possible to reliably re-assign shortcut overrides for these. Support for this will be added in a future release.  
> **NOTE:**  **If you have installed and used v0.5 it might be best if you reset your keybindings by deleting %appdata%\SoftVelocity\Clarion\8.0\AddIns\KeyBindings.xml**

**Release:** 0.5, 19 October 2011

> **INFO:** First public release!  
> **FEATURE:** Instead of a pad the configuration is now in the options dialog.  
> **FEATURE:** List available menu and toolbar items with an icon if available and the menu name or toolbar button tooltip.  
> **FEATURE:** Assign a new shortcut, override original shortcut with “none” or clear new shortcut.  
> **FEATURE:** When specifying a new shortcut a search will be made to see if there is an existing assignment with the same key data  
> **NOTE:** There may be issues with some shortcut changes because of the way the AppGen interface passes keystrokes around. Hopefully not though! Let me know if you find any issues with this.  
> **NOTE:** Not all menu and toolbar items are currently available. I hope to be able to improve support for others in the future.
