Subject: RE: Changing keyboard bindings

I actually like the balloon help -- it's a great way to learn the keyboard shortcuts. It took me a while to find where the balloon help for the buttons was being created. It's in method create_control_buttons() in srcbar.itcl -- obvious once you get there.

I had some time to experiment with the bind_plain_key calls in srctextwin.itb. I bound F10 and F11 to 'next' and 'step', which works great, however two problems then cropped up:

1) The first time I press F10 it opens up the menus. After that it works as a shortcut, but... weird.
2) I can't map Shift+F11 to Finish. Well, I can't map it at the same time that I have F11 mapped to step. I tried doing the mapping of F11 before the mapping of Shift-F11 but it still doesn't seem to work. Pity.

Getting close however.

Gah! Yes, I forgot that those get displayed on the balloon help. Those are in srcbar.itcl, scattered in various places. TBH, I wouldn't care if we deleted the key bindings from being displayed in the balloons. It's a very unusual thing to do. Maybe it made sense to someone a fifteen years ago.

Doh! Yes, that is where those bindings would be useful, no? I completely spaced on that, sorry.
