Can you reprogram the F5 and F6 buttons?

[louwin]

If so - how?

I'm toying with reprogramming them to use Teracopy instead od the standard TC copy routines.

TIA

Make a new (your own) command:
em_TeraCopy

and than you can reassign the shortcut, but I recommend to add an alias and/or add a button on the bar.

Thanks for the suggestion eugensyl but I would like to try replacing the function of the F5.

I read up about making a shortcut for the F5 but how to I create an internal command of Teracopy?

I did RTFI but there is no mention of making new internal commands

I also assume that when I want to revert to the standard F5 and F6 I just have to delete the shortcuts?

Try Extended Command Editor, it make creating external command easy.


After creating the command for TeraCopy, use Hotkeys Editor to assign hotkey for it.

Yes.

Help -> Configuration - Misc.

Command:
Assign an internal command to the hotkey/alias. Click on the magnifying glass button to open the dialog box "Choose command". <…>

Help -> Dialog box: Choose command

Only on the pages usercmd.ini and wcmd_lng.ini:

New...
Define a new extended command em_xyz. <…>

Can someone please explain this in simple step by step terms for someone not familiar with reprogramming the internal functions of TC?
