I need some help. I am using MacOs High Sierra and want to remap my keyboard bindings to make editing easier.
I want to make the following bindings, which are based on the Windows Wordstar program of many years ago.
{
"^e" = "moveUp:";
"^x" = "moveDown:";
"^d" = "moveLeft:";
"^s" = "moveRight:";
"^f" = "moveWordRight:";
"^a" = "moveWordLeft:";
"^h" = "moveToBeginningOfLine:";
"^r" = "pageUp:";
"^c" = "pageDown:";
"^g" = "deleteForward:";
"^t" = "deleteWordForward:";
"^u" = "undo:";
"^v" = "paste:";
}
When I save this as DefaultKeyBinding.dict and restart my computer, nothing happens. The bindings do not work.
Can I do this in KeyboardMaestro, and if so, how?
Finally put all these macros in a macro group of their own and make it only available in the "wordstar app" othewise you will have conflicts with other applications using the same key combinations.
I leave the notification action in until the macro is well proved.
Good news to hear.
I use this keyboard mapping technique as I spilt liquid on my keyboard and some of the keys don't work so Keyboard Maestro lets me get round the problem. I also think OPT+BACK for forward delete is useful.I am also old enough to remember Wordstar.
