Setup shortcut key to open specific lister plugin

[lxg208]

Hello,

Here is the scenario, I have two lister plugins for pdf files: SumatraPDF and slister, as I want different settings for viewing different documents. Right now, which plugin is used is determined by the order of them. After start the plugin, I can switch though plugin menu.

I'm wondering if there is a way I can setup keyboard shortcuts to call the plugin I want to use?

Thanks

Configuration -> Misc. -> Redefine hotkeys:
Command: cm_List
Parameter: /Pslister

and Redefine hotkeys:
Command: cm_List
Parameter: /Psumatrapdf

Is it documented somewhere that /P can be used instead of /S=L:P ?

cm_List,
cm_ListOnly,
cm_ListInternalOnly

Specifies the name of the file to be opened in the Lister. Supports the same options as the command line parameter /S=L:parameters. Must be passed before the name, and start with a slash / (without the part S=L: of the command line parameter), e.g.
cm_List /T1V file_name for text mode, variable width font

Yeah. I have seen this text. But only now I noticed the phrase "without the part S=L:".
I think that it is worth giving an example below to make it clearer.

Like the one that is already there?

Yes, sort of. For /F and /Pname, for example.

Thanks a lot.

It looks like I have to unset external viewer to make this work. If I set external viewer than the shortcut key will invoke external viewer. Do I have to disable external viewer (alt-F3) to make this work?

Ahh, it looks like TC is hadrcoded to use external viewer when Alt is used together with cm_List - try using a shortcut that is not using Alt - like Ctrl+Shift+S or Win+F3

There is a workaround:
Put this code in your usercmd.ini file (located in the same dir as your wincmd.ini file - if it does not exist just make it in a text editor)

Code: Select all

[em_listSlister]
cmd=%COMMANDER_EXE% /i="%COMMANDER_INI%" /S=L:Pslister
param=%Z%P%N

[em_listSumatrapdf]
cmd=%COMMANDER_EXE% /i="%COMMANDER_INI%" /S=L:Psumatrapdf
param=%Z%P%N

Now you can assign for example Alt+S to em_listSlister and Alt+U to em_listSumatrapdf

Notice that Lister windows opened with those two commands will stay open when you close or restart TC.

Thank you very much. Both worked as described.
