How can I change hotkeys for doors? The numerical sequence is fine but there are a few instances where I want to assign a letter instead of a number.
Hi,
How can I change hotkeys for doors? The numerical sequence is fine but there are a few instances where I want to assign a letter instead of a number.
Thanks in advance,
Gary

It's better to stick with numbers instead. What if you have 2
doors that start with the same first letter?
He said he wanted to *assign* letters to a door command. Doesn't
matter what letter the name of the door starts with.

Huh?
I have eleven doors that start with the numeral "1". They all
work fine.

The external programs section is performed by xtrn_sec.js. You could potentially modify the code in there, but that's a generic script and doesn't have door-specific code. One thing you could do is add a menu to your command shell with letters to run a specific set of doors.

Well I thought he was talking about the name of the doors.

I'm fine with numbers but there are instances where I want to assign a letter and it seems not doable.

If you wanted to just use consecutive command key letters (e.g. A, B, C, ...) that would be a trivial change to xtrn_sec.js to support. Of course then, 'Q' may not be available for "Quit" so you'd have to account for that.

Heh. Well then you would come back here and ask a vague and
detail-lacking question about why your sbbs was corrupted. Then
you would probably edit your text.dat with an iPad version of
WordStar to fix it.
... Don't cry for me I have vi.

I don't use Wordstar. I use Pages and Find, Replace, Etc. and
both work quite well for me.
Uh-huh.
Well, except for when the editor corrupts the text.dat and crashes
the sbbs, right?

I had the same problem with Nano too as well.

Why do you love VIM?
Why do you love VIM?
I appreciate ("love" is probably too strong a word) vi/vim, because it's always available regardless of what *nix flavor/version/distro, works with all terminals/configurations, and you can do all your editing tasks without moving your hands away from the "home" position on the keyboard. Can't really say that for any other editor.

I've watched youtube videos with guys showing how to do MUCH MORE than just edit text files in VIM; although even tho they were explaining it to me, I didn't understand after the first few minutes!

Why do you love VIM?
I got really used to using Vim at a previous job. I explored its features and ended up with a .vim configuration directory in my home directory that had custom color schemes for a few different programming languages, and I had macros for things like removing extraneous whitespace, adding Doxygen-style comments above functions in code, etc..
I knew as much; I suppose I'd ought to learn a little more about it so that I can utilize whats underneath that boring .Why do you love VIM?
