Hello Bernhard, Thanks for your email . It turns out that my file was not called coot.py and I also had a few "hidden" new-line characters due to a copy paste from your wiki python key bindings. Once I named the file coot.py and corrected the python syntax..I see the following behavior:
At startup I do have windows coot inform me that it read in coot.py. However the key bindings do not work and do not show up in the User key bindings listing. Also activating a shortcut gives a "Key 119is not bound message" If I now read in the same coot.py using the Menu-Run-Script-select coot.py. The key-bindings then get registered and show up in the listing and work just great. So there is something..maybe in the order the python files are read in ..but having a valid coot.py file didnt add the key bindings at startup. I am wondering how I can avoid reading the key bindings in every time manually.
