cm_ commands codes in command line

[Terka]

example:
cm_CopyToClipboard=2008
when writing this command to command line:
cm_CopyToClipboard it works

questions:
1. is there a way how to use just the 2008 number to do the same?
2. is there a auto-completion for a partly written cm_ similar like tab in Linux?

[Gral]

1. Trick - set alias to 2008
2. If you mean auto-completion on command line - no, only on "Choose command" window.

1. It would be much easier to assign hotkeys for frequently used commands (but aliases may help too if someone loves typing commands instead). And, BTW too, copy selected files to clipboard is Windows default action that is available on Ctrl+C.

2. There is no internal auto-completion for internal commands. However it is very easy to create external tool that will allow executing TC commands with auto-completion because it is very easy to parse totalcmd.inc and to send a message to TC window with desired command index. I've tried to write such tool but didn't finished it.

1. i use autohotkey code like eg.:

Code: Select all

f_TC_ctrl_c() {
    Suspend, On
        Input,Text, I L1 T1, {Esc},f,n,p    ;full_names, names, path  ;nesmi tu byt mezery
        If ErrorLevel = Match
        {
            If Text = f ; full names
            {   Send  cm_CopyFullNamesToClip{enter}
            }
            If Text = n ;  names
            {   Send  cm_CopyNamesToClip{enter}
            }
            If Text = p ; path
            {   Send  cm_CopySrcPathToClip{enter}
                clipboard := clipboard . "\"      ;pridam za cestu lomitko
            }
            Suspend, Off
            Return
        }
        else
        {
            Send ^c
            Suspend, Off
            Return
        }

and i wanted to speedup the cm_ writing to the command line


2.thank you,
@MVV Do you know some working solution?
@Gral What is "Choose command" window?

[Gral]

cm_CommandBrowser=2924;Browse internal commands

[Terka]

i see, thanks

I've doctored my tool, you can try it. Just bind a hotkey for it.

tcinc 1.0.0.36

Tool lists cm-commands and aliases for them and allows filtering list using acronyms (e.g. type apc for cm_AddPathToCmdline).
Enter will execute first item from list or a selected one if you select it with Up/Down arrows.

Package updated, now last command name character is compared correctly.

[Terka]

Great, i will try. Thanks!

Great little tool, MVV. Thank you for sharing it.
Is it possible to add the em_commands from Usercmd.ini?

Mr.Ghisler, you should integrate this into TC, a feature asked long time ago.

[MVV]

solid,
I thought about it, it shouldn't be too hard, time is the only thing I need.

BTW I've created a topic for tcinc.

[ghisler(Author)]

Why not use cm_commandbrowser?

[MVV]

ghisler(Author),
It doesn't allow execution of selected command, only copying its name.

[ghisler(Author)]

Ah, I see - but you can just Ctrl+V and Enter in the command line.

I could add cm_commandbrowserexec or so which would then execute the command.

[MVV]

ghisler(Author),
Perhaps something like Shift+Enter or Ctrl+Enter for execution in existing command browser would be better.
However acronym filter looks more friendly for filtering commands.

I'm using it like that, but too many steps. Opening the browser, finding the command, copy name, paste it in cmd, execute it. And previous clipboard value gets trashed.
With MVV's tool is much faster and acronym searching helps a lot. Missing is only support for em_commands. Also searching in the description.

Modifier+Enter for executing should be fine solution too. Also acronym searching in the command browser.
