English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Can a menu shortcut not be an Amiga-R + Something?

Sim085 · 28 January 2022, 16:01

I am using NewMenu. One of the fields allows me to set the nm_CommKey. As stated in the documentation when I set this I get a picture of the AmigaR key and the letter I configure. Everything works as expected

.

However I cannot find anywhere in documentation how I could set a shortcut that is not the AmigaR key + <Letter>. For example, is there a way how I could get an image of the Ctrl key + <Letter> instead? (example; Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V, etc).

Is this possible?

By looking at the documentation I can see that one possible (

) option is by using a MenuItem ItemFill and try and get a result that is similar to the one provided by LayoutMenus and then inject this new item in the menu returned by the CreateMenu call.

However I was wondering if there is a more standard way how to achieve this..

Anyone has any ideas?
