TSE: Linux: Issue: Pressing <CTRLALT SPACEBAR> does not show the TSE version

Hello,

1. This is a general issue in e.g. WSL + virtual machine Linux distributions running TSE (tested in WSL Ubuntu, virtual machine Debian)

2. Root cause: As running the Showkey.s macro in the Linux distribution shows that when pressing <CtrlAlt SpaceBar> this does generate instead always:

 <CtrlAlt `>

3. Now, in ui\tse.ui you see defined out of the box:

   

 <CtrlAlt SpaceBar> lVersion()

4. Note: the same in the other .ui files there, same definition should be found I have not checked that further, but they certainly should be there.

5. So to have showing the version in TSE for Linux also, Semware should possibly add this line additionally to all the UIs:

 <CtrlAlt `> lVersion()

6. Then if saving that .ui file and burning that .ui file into TSE (e.g. sc32 -b ui/tse.ui) the result is that after restart of g32.exe as usual pressing <CtrlAlt SpaceBar> will now also show

 the version in that TSE for Linux.

7. See also screenshot after these changes were done here:

Thanks for the suggestion!

Hello,

In order to make TSE for Linux behave similar to TSE for Windows

could this maybe be implemented in the next TSE release?

Thanks,

with frinedly greetings

 Q. TSE: Linux: <CtrlAlt Spacebar> does not show the TSE version in Linux 4.50.6

Workaround:

 1. -Root cause:

      It is a fact that in Linux pressing <CtrlAlt Spacebar>

      shows (e.g. testing using the default TSE

      macro 'Showkey') instead

       <CtrlAlt `>

 2. -So a workaround is the following to also

     assign <CtrlAlt `> to lVersion() in the .ui

 3. -Thus define also this keys

      <CtrlAlt `> lVersion()

 4. -in all the TSE .ui

      tse.ui

      brief.ui

      tsejr.ui

      win.ui

      ws.ui

 5. -And recompile each .ui

 6. -Then press in Linux

      <CtrlAlt Spacebar>

     will also show the TSE version as usual

 7. -Workaround tested successfully with TSE for Linux version 4.50.6

     on Ubuntu WSL

Please cancel this feature request completely.

 

As it is not necessary anymore due to the more transparent and elegant

key assignment replacement method using #include in the tse.ui.

Then nothing has to change from the Semware end in the default TSE for Linux tse.ui.

Thanks

with friendly greetings
