TCEdit Shortcuts and Font Name/Size

[Joe Caverly]

With every new installation of TCC,
I lose the shortcuts I have assigned in TCEdit.

For example, I have Ctrl+Q assigned to Toggle Comment.

I had to re-assign this and other shortcuts that I have assigned in TCEdit after the recent upgrade to 32.10.20

It would be great if TCEdit had an option to export all of the Shortcuts that I have defined,
to a file,
which I could then import into the newer version of TCEdit.

Same for the font name and size.

I have to change this after an upgrade to a newer version of TCEdit.

If TCEdit could export the font name and size to the same file as above,
I could then import it into the newer version of TCEdit.

The settings are in the Windows registry.

I think the keyboard shortcuts are in the "Data" value in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\JP Software\TCEdit 32.10\Settings\NormalLayout\Shortcuts. Maybe you could use a BTM to refresh them. I don't know if/when keys inside "HKCU\JP Software" go away. I also have one for "TCEdit 32"

Found the shortcut key;

The left has the comment shortcut as Ctrl+L

The right has the comment shortcut as Ctrl+Q

That accelerator data and the data in the place I mentioned are identical (here, at least). I must have mentioned the defaults (NormalLayout) whereas you found the customized version.

Thanks @vefatica

Apparently, I only noticed the first difference.

Scrolling further down does indeed show it is the same in two locations.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\JP Software\TCEdit 32.10\CommandBars]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\JP Software\TCEdit 32.10\Settings\NormalLayout\Shortcuts]

From the registry,
I exported Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\JP Software\TCEdit 32.10 to TCEdit33.0.reg

In the TCEdit33.0.reg file,
I did a Find/Replace on the string TCEdit 32.10
and replaced it with the string TCEdit 33.0

I then ran TCEdit33.0.reg to import the settings into the registry.

I started Version 33 of TCC.EXE,
started TCEdit,
and I now have the same settings as I used in Version 32.10 of TCC.EXE

I still don't see why this could not be incorporated directly into TCEdit,
that is,
the ability to export settings,
and the ability to import settings.
