A little addition to the discussion about editing the Mapinfo.mnu to add
custom hotkeys. I successfully created a couple of hotkeys to switch
between the select and pan tools by inserting the following lines into
the window menu section of Mapinfo.mnu:
"Select\tCtrl+Space/W^%32"
calling 1701,
"Pan\tCtrl+M/W^M"
calling 1702,
These worked fine, but I subsequently discovered that mapping the Ctrl+M
sequence had the unwanted effect of disabling the ability to run
commands in the Mapbasic window. I think the Ctrl+M sequence equates to
a carriage return character (and vice versa?), and that defining a
Ctrl+M hotkey causes presses of the return key in the Mapbasic window to
be intercepted.
Whilst investigating this though, I also discovered that the Ctrl+Return
key will insert a line feed character into the Mapbasic window, and this
is useful if you need a new line to type on.
