Hi there!

Is there a way to add keyboard shortcut customization or to disable the Alt+8 shortcut (which doesn't seem to be listed in the menu but runs the Atari800 compiler/emulator)? I'm working on a German keyboard where [ is created with AltGr+8, so I keep running the emulator instead of writing the bracket. I tried removing the emulator from the settings, but then it just throws an unhandled exception for not finding the executable at the project path.

That's the only character I've run into that issue with so far, but if something could be done that I don't need to copy those in, that would indeed be great :D

Hello Crabman and thank you for the comment!

It's currently not possible to customize keyboard shortcuts but it's definitely a great idea. At the same time, the absence of any emulator / compiler should prevent an unhandled error from arising, so it will definitely be handled in the next release, as well. Moreover, the next version will also have more features and an additional target, so surely it will be useful to have this change you suggested.

Thank you again, and happy retrocoding!

Hi, me again, I'm struggling a bit to wrap my head around some of the limitations and how to achieve what I'm trying to do. I saw another comment mentioning a support community, is there somewhere I could ask some silly noob questions?

Hi Cramban, thank you for the comment.

Sure, there is a community of ugBASIC users and programmers, and it uses the official Facebook group to ask questions. It is also the group where news and updates are communicated, such as when a new version of the compiler comes out. The group is here:

Thank you again, and have a nice retrocoding!

Hello Crabman, I take the liberty of bothering you to point out that now the shortcuts for compiling or launching programs are fully configurable.

Please, download version 1.14 and then click on "Configuration" and then "Shortcuts". By clicking on the single button it is therefore possible to press the sequence of keys to be used, to cancel those already present, to restore them to default and so on.

Thank you again for the suggestion, and happy retrocoding!

Awesome, works a treat! Interesting too, I never realized that AltGr is the same as Ctrl+Alt, in my head it was just "right alt," but this makes a lot more sense :D

Thanks!
