the delay on this is that the tools menu is now (or will be) just any generic code that's dynamically loaded (ala libraries).. so i need to figure out a system for how it assigns shortcuts/command keys.

meaning, is there a prefs pane where you set up command keys? (time consuming) or do tools ask for a particular command key (what to do about conflicts?) not a good/clear solution on this one..

Proposed solution:

1) Save shortcuts in a prefs file (accessible through Edit > Prefs?)

2) When loading a new "Tool" prompt for a short-cut association as part of the "Load Tool Wizard". (Should probably let "None" be an option here)

3) On conflicts, warn and allow the user to supply another option, or override. (Should just take a simple linear search of the prefs file at most.)

@damkjer:
i really didn't get the hack you suggested. which pref-menu do you mean??

@fry: i really, relly miss the ctrl+b, too. and just another missing: a shortcut for "show sketch folder". i use this often if working with diffrent backgroundimages.

what Damkjer was talking about wasn't a way to do it now, but a way that it could be done in future releases

btw, i think that tools like beautify are a great thing, and we should be able to add them in several forms, from p5 code we can put in there and run (we'd need some commands to interface with p5 of course) to full blown command line programs.
hopefully you can make it so it turns into something like that Smiley

yup, that's exactly the plan. as processing becomes a larger and more complex project, casey and i are trying to instead make it easier to hook things in so people can make more things on their own, both with the new "libraries" stuff for sketches, and with the tools menu for the environment, once that's finished.

the idea is to make it easier for people to implement their own feature requests without needing to really learn the guts of processing itself.
