Yes, we already agreed on that both for the debugger and for Spotter. We just did not get the chance to do it yet.

Hey Doru,

about your report
https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/18455 Spotter shortcuts should be externalized as settings

Please don't do this just for spotter. We really need a general solution for all tools shortcuts.

I am alread about to clean up the shortcut definitions. In the tools and the PharoShortcuts class.

But we still need a way to really define this in a customizable way.

I already wrote about this and asked (ML or fogbugz, I don't remember).

The current shortcut definitions (with pragmas for example). Can be browsed and in the Keymap browser (that is good), but they can not be changed of course, they are defined in the source.

And, the current keymap definitions (KMKEyCombination) need a way to be able to read and write as a setting, that currently does not work (as I wrote).

My proposition was, to define some kind of "Named-Keyaction" or "Named-Action", for example

CopySelectionAction (name = CopySelection, shortcut Ctrl+C), it would act as a KMKeyCombination, but its own shortcut (Ctrl+C) would be configurable.

Now, in PharoShortcuts instead of

PharoShortcuts >>#copySelectionShortcut

^ $c meta

we define

PharoShortcuts >>#copySelectionShortcut

^ CopySelectionAction withShortcut: $c meta

(maybe on unique Instance of CopySelectionAction, or one per category)

And the keymap browser, or the settings browser could list these actions and provide a way to reset the

keycombination:

CopySelectionAction - | type some keycombination here |

The current way with the PharoShortcuts class and how the keys are binded to the tools don't really work for customizable shortcut definitions (or keymaps) or

I just don't see it.
