| Hi Joris, (I'm moving the discussion to texmacs-dev).
Thinking about shortcuts I really like the idea of "discovery" new shortcuts via hints in the status bar. This is partially implemented with the shortcut mentioned by Vincent, but there seems to be a slight bug because in table-kdb.scm we have
(kbd-map (:mode in-table?) ("table N" "" "New table (t: tabular, b: block)") ("table H" "" "Horizontal table alignment (l: left, c: center, r: right)") ("table V" "" "Vertical table alignment: (b: bottom, c: center, t: top)") ("table B" "" "Modify table border (options: =, l, r, b, t)")
and the "New table" partial command would be also useful outside the table mode, so without the :mode attribute.
This kind of explorative commands are more commont nowadays, many interfaces provide a "spotlight" kind of input line where the user start to write something and the program provide possible command completions with the associated shortcuts.
Similarly we can provide some more systematic hints in the status line, as you do above. The status line is better than opening a window which disrupt the current operations (e.g. when doing a presentation).

Hi Vincent, Note that the upcoming version contains a simplified interface for user-defined keyboard shortcuts. When you are inside a wide block, you can now do 'Focus -> Preferences -> Create shortcut' in order to associate a keyboard shortcut to this macro. This shortcut should be visible automatically in the menus (there was a small problem with wide-block, but that will be corrected). The above mechanism works for the insertion of macro applications using the TeXmacs-Scheme primitive 'make'. More generally, you can associate whatever Scheme command you like to keyboard shortcuts, assuming that you are willing to do a bit of programming, of course.

indeed these shortcuts are quite complex and I never use them. I've gave
a look and they are defined as:
("table N t" (make 'tabular))
("table N T" (make 'tabular*))
("table N w" (make-wrapped 'wide-tabular))
("table N b" (make 'block))
("table N B" (make 'block*))
("table N W" (make-wrapped 'wide-block))
in TeXmacs/progs/generic/generic-kbd.scm.
"table" means Cltr+Cmd+T, then you have to type an *uppercase* N, so
Shift+N, and then uppercase or lowercase letters according to what you
want to obtain.
The representation in the menu is not faithful (this is indeed a bug),
since it does not make difference between uppercase and lowecase.
If you want some help you can define
(kbd-map
("table N" "" "New table (t: tabular, b: block)"))
So that when you type "table N" you get an hint on the status bar on what
are the options. It would be really nice to develop this hint system
further. Seems snappier than reaching the mouse to use the menus...

hello
i use very often "blocs" and wanted to try the shortcut but not managed
to use it
is it control-apple-T, then n and b ? no it just writes "nb"
is it control-apple pressed and while pressed, type T then N then B ?
doesn't work
any idea ?
thanks
Vincent
PS : is there somewhere on the texmacs's vidéos an explanation about how
to customize all the shortcuts ?
