Caps Lock
« on: June 17, 2015, 02:15:21 AM »
Hi,

Could not work out why I could not tap timing marks in my sequence while in Xlights. 

Discovered that pressing "T" will not work if you have caps lock on.

Cheers

That's not a bug that's just how we wrote it.  You will find some places where keys will do different things otherwise we would be limiting half the available keystrokes.

Also node that if you DO want a capital T to be a timing mark thing, you can edit the xlights_keybindinds.xml file to add a new entry for capital T.

Cool...yep we give you the ability to customize most of the keys.  I couldn't remember if we gave access to the timing commands or not but I knew we did for all the effects you can drop down.  Eventually I believe we will have a way to edit the key bindings from the GUI but for now you can do it with a text editor.  Notepad++ works well for XML and it's free.
