Ctrl+w
Ctrl+t
Ctrl+r
Ctrl+f
Ctrl+g
Ctrl+u
Ctrl+l
Ctrl+n

Problem is that I find myself often hitting the ctrl button with my palm when I write, having a keyboard with a large and wide wrist support, and having those events pop up often is irritating. I dont recall having such problems with shortcuts in earlier versions of mushclient.

I don't think that has changed recently, but just go into the World configuration -> Macros, and edit each one of those, replacing "take" or whatever by an empty string (ie. delete what is there).

Managed to stop the macros that would pop up words like whisper and take as I saw there was specific ones for those commands.

Ctrl+r Repeats last send to the world
Ctrl+f Finds text

is however still a problem, no macros present with them in the list, nor is it possible to add new ones to make blank commands.


Edit: Seems as soon I shutdown the client and restarts, the macros reverts to standard, ignoring all the edits made. Been trying to save them after Ive removed the text strings from those having them and set it as the default macros file to load upon startup, no worky.

Hmm. They should save. But anyway. To cater for the ones not in the list you can make your own accelerators. For example:


AcceleratorTo ("Ctrl+R" , "", sendto.script )


This says if you type Ctrl+R send an empty string to the script engine (ie. do nothing).

You would need one such for each of the ctrl keys you want to suppress.

These won't save either, but see:

Template:faq=39 Please read the MUSHclient FAQ - point 39.


That shows a small plugin you can make which will remember the accelerator keys. Just amend the middle to be like what I showed above, save that as a plugin and install it.

But upon installing the plugin, this message appears:

Looks like you have to have a space between the quotes. This worked OK for me:

Template:saveplugin=Accelerators To save and install the Accelerators plugin do this:
  1. Copy between the lines below (to the Clipboard)
  2. Open a text editor (such as Notepad) and paste the plugin into it
  3. Save to disk on your PC, preferably in your plugins directory, as Accelerators.xml
  4. Go to the MUSHclient File menu -> Plugins
  5. Click "Add"
  6. Choose the file Accelerators.xml (which you just saved in step 3) as a plugin
  7. Click "Close"

That did the trick and they are saved on restart :)

no more bothersome shortcuts. Thank you.
