Start menu shortcut

[Raymond]

Shortcuts have been pre-defined as CTRL+ALT+F1...etc.
Is there a way to change them to some other key combinations?
Thx.

You can change shortcuts using wincmd.ini in [shortcuts] section. Read the help, eg.

CAS+F2=cm_renameonly

In this example, Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F2 calls the internal function cm_renameonly.(C=Ctrl, A=Alt, S=Shift)

Maybe I didn't make my question clear.
I put an external program in the Start menu, and want to use shortcut to start it. In CONFIGURATION -> CHANGE START MENU -> SHORTCUT KEYS, I can only choose from the drop_down menu, but I think those CTRL+SHIFT+Fn is not handy for me. Is there a way I can define the shortcut keys myself?

BTW, these shortcut keys can't be found in Wincmd.ini [shortcuts] section.

Simply say, by editing wincmd.ini in [shortcuts] section, can i call an external program instead of the internal functions?

If you put any external program in TC Start Menu and it's saved in wincmd.ini as e.g.:

[user]
menu1=My program
cmd1=C:\Programs\S55\PsmPlay4.5.exe
iconic1=-1

You can change it's shortcut like this:

[Shortcuts]
S=cm_usermenu1

Than typing "S" you call the first program in your StartMenu.

You can do it manually in wincmd.ini or via Configuration / Options / Misc. / Redefine hotkeys.

If you have more than 10 programs in your start menu you must do it manually in the ini file.

I got it now. Thx for ur tip!

If you have more than 10 programs in your start menu you must do it manually in the ini file.

Well, you can add entries to your Totalcmd.inc like this:
cm_usermenu10=710;
and so on - no need to edit the Totalcmd.ini manually.

True... you are right Lefteous Thanks.

Wow, I didn't ever know I can define internal commander name myself. It will be more meaningful than just "cm_usermenu..". Amazing!
Thank you, Black Dog! Glad to see you again!

Well, as for me internal command # is the most convenient way.
