disabling (and re-enabling?) shortcuts
 
|
One of my customers complains that accidental keypresses do strange things.
Is there a way to disable *all* keyboard shortcuts under Java plugin control? I’d like to simply make them all “do nothing”. It would be nice to restore them on plugin exit - but that would be a frill. This user would be happy to simply re-start Fiji. Can I globally require control (command) to access keyboard shortcuts? That would solve the problem. Even better if I could turn this on/off on the start/exit of my plugin. I suppose the brute force way to do that would be to write a macro for every keypress, with an empty action. I’m hoping for something cleaner. -- Kenneth Sloan [hidden email] <mailto:[hidden email]> Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others. -- ImageJ mailing list: http://imagej.nih.gov/ij/list.html |

Hi Kenneth,
You could remove the key listeners as in this example plugin : http://rsbweb.nih.gov/ij/plugins/key-listener.html Sincerely Jerome.

You can require use of the control (command) key for shortcuts by checking “Require control (command) key for shortcuts” in Edit>Options>Misc. -wayne -- ImageJ mailing list: http://imagej.nih.gov/ij/list.html |

That’s the solution I was looking for. Thank you.
Can I: a) make it persistent? (This customer probably wants them off all the time) b) do this from inside a Java plugin (I can probably figure this out, and wouldn’t ordinarily ask, but as a “just one more question” - I’ll ask) -- Kenneth Sloan [hidden email] Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others. > On May 13, 2016, at 09:09 , Rasband, Wayne (NIH/NIMH) [E] <[hidden email]> wrote: > > On May 13, 2016, at 1:24 AM, Kenneth Sloan <[hidden email]> wrote: >> >> One of my customers complains that accidental keypresses do strange things. >> >> Is there a way to disable *all* keyboard shortcuts under Java plugin control? >> >> I’d like to simply make them all “do nothing”. >> >> It would be nice to restore them on plugin exit - but that would be a frill.
