How do you add additional keybindings for incremental search

Posted 18 years ago by Charles W. Hooks

I have successfully figure out how to implement keyBinds a couple different ways, currently I am looking to provide different key binds for existign commands, like incremental search. I am having a hard time finding an object from incremental search that I can use...

The following example I found work greate for a couple of things and I've used key press events for others...

editor.CommandLinks.Add(new CommandLink(new CopyToClipboardCommand(),
new KeyBinding(ActiproSoftware.WinUICore.Input.ModifierKeys.Control, Keys.C)));

I must be missing something obvious on how to add additional key maps for existing commands...

Hi Charles,

SyntaxEditor has these defined by default:

new CommandLink(new IncrementalSearchCommand(), new KeyBinding(WinUICore.Input.ModifierKeys.Control, Keys.I))
new CommandLink(new ReverseIncrementalSearchCommand(), new KeyBinding(WinUICore.Input.ModifierKeys.ControlShift, Keys.I))

To add additional keys, just add more CommandLinks, one for each additional key binding.

Thanks

new CommandLink(new ReverseIncrementalSearchCommand(), new KeyBinding(WinUICore.Input.ModifierKeys.ControlShift, Keys.I))

This key binding does not work. If I change the I to an N, it does work.

CTRL-SHIFT-I does not work when I exclude this binding, yet the commands demo shows it existing as a default command.

I can not find any conflicts with this key binding either... Looks like there might be a bug with this keybinding.

I've noticed that happen too. I believe something in Windows is catching particular key combination because when I write debug messages on SyntaxEditor.OnKeyDown, that method is never called for Ctrl+Shift+I whereas it is for every other key. None of our key logic kicks in until after the point I write those debug messages too so it shouldn't be anything that is in the SyntaxEditor code that is doing it.
