It dont save my shortcuts #1369

If I go Tools - Customize IDE shortcuts - Source code and Assign Toggle comment with Ctrl+/, then it works fine, but if I reopen PyScripter, then it not work!

If I assign Toggle comment with Ctrl+' or any other, then it works fine and after reopen PyScripter works fine too, BUT after restarting PC it not works!

Maybe I can importing my shortcuts.ini everytime at PyScripter starts? What I should write in pyscripter_init.py?

BUT after restarting PC it not works!

Are you sure? This is hard to explain.

Penelopen · 2025-03-03T11:10:08Z

Sure. I was try it ~5 times. And I cant explain this too. You can try it yourself

Penelopen · 2025-03-03T11:10:45Z

I can make a video for you

pyscripter · 2025-03-03T11:12:01Z

I believe you. I will look into it.

Penelopen · 2025-03-04T18:40:16Z

Anyway maybe I can importing my shortcuts.ini automatically everytime at PyScripter starts? What I should write in pyscripter_init.py?

pyscripter · 2025-03-05T01:52:05Z

You could

create a copy of PyScripter.ini from the downloaded version
create a command file that copies the saved copy over the current pyscripter.ini and then starts PyScripter
Start PyScripter by executing this command file

I have setup a virtual machine with russian language but I still cannot reproduce either of the issues you face (shortcuts and remote engine output).

What do you get when you run the following python script:

import locale

# Get the current locale's code page
code_page = locale.getpreferredencoding()
print(f"Current code page: {code_page}")

import ctypes

# Get ANSI code page (used by Windows GUI apps)
ansi_code_page = ctypes.windll.kernel32.GetACP()
print(f"ANSI code page: {ansi_code_page}")  # e.g., 1252

# Get OEM code page (used by command prompt)
oem_code_page = ctypes.windll.kernel32.GetOEMCP()
print(f"OEM code page: {oem_code_page}")  # e.g., 437 (US) or 850 (Western Europe)

In my russian virtual machine I get:

Current code page: utf-8
ANSI code page: 1251
OEM code page: 866

What do you get when you run the following python script:

Current code page: cp1251
ANSI code page: 1251
OEM code page: 866

Now I have same problems again...

After restart my PC, default Ctrl+' not working again
I look in settings and found that Toggle Comment shortcut not assigned

I assign it to default Ctrl+' and it works fine until next restart PC
I move this ZIP version of PyScripter to C:/ or C:/Users/User/PyScripter and nothing happens
I Downloaded PyScripter-5.2.1-x64.zip
Then extracted the zip file on C:/
Runned this super new super clear PyScripter from inside the expanded zip file.
Tried Ctrl+' and it NOT WORKED too. And in this just downloaded version settings, Toggle Comment shortcut also not assigned.

It seems that Windows remember some settings..

Saved copy of the clear(default) pyscripter.ini of just downloaded PyScripter didnt help((

Penelopen · 2025-03-06T14:20:48Z

You could

* create a copy of PyScripter.ini from the downloaded version

* create a command file that copies the saved copy over the current pyscripter.ini and then starts PyScripter

* Start PyScripter by executing this command file

So that not helps me((

I exported all hotkeys to myhotkeys.ini
How I can automatically import this file every time at PyScripter run?

I have fixed the issue of removed editor shortcuts reappearing.
I now need to understand what is happening with the IDE shortcuts.

Is this the keyboard you are using?

Penelopen · 2025-03-06T18:55:38Z

Is this the keyboard you are using?

Yep))

pyscripter · 2025-03-07T03:16:31Z

Here is what I found using my Russian Virtual machine.

Using keyboard layout:

Using Russian keyboard layout.

When I exit with with Russian keyboard layout active PyScripter.ini contains:

When I exit with with English keyboard layout active PyScripter.ini contains:

So how the shortcut is saved depends on what keyboard layout was active when you exit PyScripter!

To be continued.

I think I fixed it.

Please download this zip file.

It contains PyScripter.exe. Replace your PyScripter.exe with the one in the zip file and test it.

Please test both:

Shortcuts
The Abort command (use the remote python engine).

Penelopen · 2025-03-07T07:56:01Z

The Abort command (use the remote python engine).

The Abort command works fine on this code and program not freezed with this code:

while True:
     print('Hello')

Shortcuts still blow my mind))

I reassigned Fold Nearest shortcut from Ctrl+/ to Ctrl+Alt+/
Then I reassigned Toggle Comment shortcut from Ctrl+' to Ctrl+/ (i like that hotkeys)
It worked until the PyScripter was closed
Runned PyScripter again and Ctrl+/ NOT WORKS

pyscripter · 2025-03-07T19:06:20Z

This time I am sure I fixed it.

New zip file with updated PyScripter.exe.

Thanks for helping to make PyScripter better!

Technical note. The Ctrl+/ is a special case since there are two shortcuts with the same representation The keyboard / and the numpad / and PyScripter was erroneously converting the first to the second.

At last it works great! ))) Thank you very much!
