How to create Short Key popover?

[RafaŁ Buchner]

Hey Guys,
(I hope it is not some big RF secret)
I was wandering how to make something this (list + the popover with given keystrokes)?:

I wanted be able to interpret key strokes with the fancy modifying-key-icons.

oh my god, I'm really blind o_O

be careful with your naming :)

from lib.UI.fileBrowser import RFShortKeyCell, shortKeyToString
from vanilla import *
from AppKit import *

class ListDemo(object):

    def __init__(self):
        columnDescriptions = [
                dict(title='name'),
                dict(title='shortKey', cell=RFShortKeyCell(self.shortKeyCallback, ignoreErrors=False)),
            ]
        modifiers = NSCommandKeyMask | NSShiftKeyMask
        self.w = Window((100, 100))
        self.w.myList = List((0, 0, -0, -0),
                     [{"name": "A",'shortKey': [modifiers, 'a']}, {"name": "B",'shortKey': [modifiers, 'a']}],
                     columnDescriptions=columnDescriptions,
                     )
        self.w.open()

    def shortKeyCallback(self, sender):
        print(sender)

hmm, now I'm getting this error in the log file (RF crashes):

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "lib/UI/fileBrowser.pyc", line 429, in drawWithFrame_inView_
File "objc/_convenience_mapping.pyc", line 18, in __getitem__objectForKey_
File "objc/_convenience.pyc", line 101, in container_unwrap
KeyError: 'shortKey'

Here is my code:

from lib.UI.fileBrowser import RFShortKeyCell, shortKeyToString
from vanilla import *
from AppKit import *

class ListDemo(object):

    def __init__(self):
        columnDescriptions = [
                dict(title='name'),
                dict(title='key', cell=RFShortKeyCell(self.shortKeyCallback, ignoreErrors=False)),
            ]
        modifiers = NSCommandKeyMask | NSShiftKeyMask
        self.w = Window((100, 100))
        self.w.myList = List((0, 0, -0, -0),
                     [{"name": "A",'key': [modifiers, 'a']}, {"name": "B",'shortKey': [modifiers, 'a']}],
                     columnDescriptions=columnDescriptions,
                     )
        self.w.open()

    def shortKeyCallback(self, sender):
        print(sender)

ListDemo()

cool, thanks!

[frederik]

oh yeah, must be a tuple:

(modifiers, character)

where modifiers is:

modifiers = AppKit.NSCommandKeyMask | AppKit.NSShiftKeyMask
character = "m"

this will create a shortcut for cmd + shift + m

Another question: how to implement entry for this cell? I'm getting shortKeyToString errors every time I'm testing different values.

from lib.UI.fileBrowser import RFShortKeyCell
from vanilla import *

class ListDemo(object):

    def __init__(self):
        columnDescriptions = [
                dict(title='name'),
                dict(title='key', cell=RFShortKeyCell(self.shortKeyCallback, ignoreErrors=False)),
            ]
        shortkey1 = None ### ???
        shortkey2 = None ### ???
        self.w = Window((100, 100))
        self.w.myList = List((0, 0, -0, -0),
                     [{"name": "A",'key': shortkey1}, {"name": "B",'key': shortkey2}],
                     columnDescriptions=columnDescriptions,
                     )
        self.w.open()


    def shortKeyCallback(self, sender):
        print(sender)

its a vanilla List cell used in the column descriptions

from lib.UI.fileBrowser import RFShortKeyCell

cell = RFShortKeyCell(callback, ignoreErrors=True)

ignoreErrors will show if its not possible to make the key or when there is a duplicated key

good luck with the secrets!
