Hotkeys

[jaf]

Hi - new user and first post.

I ran into a problem when I unchecked "View |Menu bar". There is some
other application (probably an old shortcut) that uses Ctrl-Alt-M too,
so I can get the menu bar back.

I tried installing the alpha build but it inherited the old settings.
Are these setting written to the registry or is there a configuration
file somewhere? I'm using winXP x64.

Thanks.

Well I don't see anything short of recompile to change the menu
accelerator hot keys unless Qt applications have a key combination
under windows to allow menu changes.
For your case I take it you cannot see the menu so there is an ini
file I believe ,unless it's just portable apps that enforces it
otherwise it is the registry (but I have noticed speedcrunch to be
nicely designed portability wise).
So for getting the menubar back by settings you can find the setting
"Layout\ShowMenuBar" set it to true.

I searched the registry for "Layout\ShowMenuBar" and I;m not using the
portable version. No ini file that I can find. Installing the alpha
version in a different directory (non-default) works, but there should
be a way to do an uninstall/reinstall and get the menu back.

I'm not concerned about the hotkeys as much as getting the toolbar
back after "experimenting" with the options. Usually a Revo Uninstall
will clean everything up enough where a reinstall will bring back the
defaults (toolbar on). How do I get the defaults back?

Okay, I see this is a waste of time.

Try looking around for a folder called speedcrunch in your application
data folder.
To get there:
Win+R
type "%APPDATA%" (no quotes)
Press OK

Addition: In that speedcrunch folder should be the .ini file with the
option in it.

There's no Speedcrunch folder in C:\Documents and Settings
\Administrator\Application Data. My C:\Program Files
(x86)\SpeedCrunch folder has three files: speedcrunch.exe,
unins000.dat, and unins000.exe. There's also two folders, books and
locale. The books folder has what look like language options and a
file book.css. The locale folder also has a few *.qm files which also
seem to indicate they are for language support. No ini file(s).

I am running winXP x64 -- maybe the data files are handled different?

So, I poked around in the course code and found:

If you are not using the portable version, everything is stored in the
registry.
in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SpeedCrunch

and the setting is:
Layout\MenuBarVisible

[jaf]

Thanks for your help. I thought that would fix the problem,
especially when I saw the there was a SpeedCrunch entry just where you
mentioned. However, MenuBarVisible was set to true. Well, maybe the
alpha version, even though installed in a different fold, may be
interfering, So I uninstalled the alpha version -- no go. I set
MenuBarVisible to false and restarted SpeedCrunch. Then exitied and
set MenuBarVisible to true and restarted SpeedCrunch -- no go.

I guess the next step is to uninstall the non-alpha Speedcrunch with
RevoUninstaller advanced mode and see if it deletes the registry data
too.

Okay, I uninstalled Speedcrunch and the registry entries were still
there, so I deleted all, reinstalled SpeedCrunch and all is fine.

Thanks again for the help. Now I have to find why Ctrl-M hides the
menu but another Ctrl-M doesn't restore it.

Sorry, I menat Ctrl-Alt-M, not Ctrl-M

[somerandombystander]

Well thats weird. So more source code exploring commenced...

In 0.11 alpha, the regkey is Layout\MenuBarVisible
In 0.10 release, the regkey is Layout\ShowMenuBar

So, they shouldn't have inherited that specific setting.
Also, I tested it here on winXP x86 and the Ctrl+Alt+M worked fine to
toggle, even after restarting speedcrunch.
