How can I make my own Keyboard shortcut?
hi there,
In Visual Studio you can select code and then press the 'TAB' key to indent it.
However in Delphi to do the same process you need to use 'CNTRL' + 'SHIFT' + 'U'.
I would like to change it so that I can use the 'TAB' Key.
How can I do this?
cheers

change the editor options EditorSpeedsettings to Visual Studio Emulation

Thanks for your suggestion Geert, but this didn't seem to work for me.
I am running Delphi 6.

did you check the keyboard emulations ?
ASKER
When I changed the keyboard emulations to Visual Studio there was some changes. For example the keyboard shortcuts for debugging changed from f8 and f7 to f10 and f11 as they would be in visual studio. however if I highlighted text and pushed the 'TAB' key it deleted the text instead of 'tabbing' it across the page.
that's funny, my tabbing works fine
i'll post my settings later on

if you want to have your own customization you'll have to write a Delphi Expert/Wizard
This is a lot of work and the code is not very well documented, next to that it undergoes some changes
what i did find was www.gexperts.org
i wrote some changes on that once to add a Ctrl-Alt-+ and Ctrl-Alt-- to change the current notebook page the current component is on
If your interested in this code, that i can give.
you could then adapt it to use a other shortcut key, this way you could create your own shortcut keys ...
