[gcmd-dev] User configurable shortcuts

[Piotr Eljasiak]

Hi folks,

Here it is - user defined shortcuts. Finally got it working ;o)

Key bindings reside in [key-bindings] section in gcmd config file
(~/.gnome2/gnome-commander). Currently there is no GUI for key
configuration.

The shortcuts are read at start-up only, so you have to reload
application to see the changes.

Config file syntax:

    [<shift>][<control>][<alt>]key_name=action[|options]

eg.

    <ctrl>m=file.advrename
    <ctrl>t=file.advrename
    <shift><ctrl>f5=file.create_symlink
    <ctrl>0=bookmarks.goto|/media/dvd

Entries containing invalid key or user action are reported in console
and then ignored by gcmd.
User defined shortcuts are being processed AFTER handling of
'hard-coded' keys, so some shortcuts can't be redefined.

Notes:

        1. It's possible to assign one action to more than one key
        2. There is no distinction between lower and upper key
        (<ctrl>a=<ctrl>A)
        3. Key and action names are case insensitive (but not
        options!!!)
        
A few key bindings have been removed from code:

    <alt>f3=file.external_view
    <alt>f7=edit.search
    <control><shift>f=connections.close_current
    <control><shift>f5=file.create_symlink
    <control>a=mark.select_all
    <control>d=bookmarks.edit
    <control>g=connections.ftp_quick_connect
    <control>f=connections.ftp_connect
    <control>m=file.advrename
    <control>o=options.edit
    <control>r=view.refresh
    <control>t=file.advrename
    <control>f12=edit.filter
    <control>equal=mark.select_all
    <control>minus=mark.unselect_all
    <control>kp.add=mark.select_all
    <control>kp.subtract=mark.unselect_all
    <shift>f3=file.internal_view

Now gcmd looks for the above actions in config, and if any one is
missing - it will be redefined with its defaults.
First run of gcmd creates all necessary key bindings (just not to lose
already existing functionality), and then user is free to modify them
accordingly to ones needs.

List of currently available actions:

    bookmarks.add_current
    bookmarks.edit
    bookmarks.goto (not working yet)
    connections.close
    connections.close_current
    connections.ftp_connect
    connections.ftp_quick_connect
    edit.copy
    edit.copy_filenames
