OpenKomodo allows users to choose key bindings based on its own taste.
Starting from several system keysets it is possibile to create new schemes.
Developers can write code using this feature.
You need to
- overlay chrome://komodo/content/commandsOverlay.xul into chrome.manifest
- add “observes” attribute to menuitems
Below I show the code that I’ll add to Morekomodo ASAP
The overlayed commandsOverlay.xul should contain
<overlay id="morekomodoCommandOverlay" xmlns="...">
<broadcasterset id="broadcasterset_global">
<broadcaster
id="cmd_morekomodo_favorites"
key="key_cmd_morekomodo_favorites"
desc="General: Open Favorites..."
oncommand="moreKomodo.openFavorites(event);"/>
<broadcaster
id="cmd_morekomodo_capitalize"
key="key_cmd_morekomodo_capitalize"
desc="Source Code: Capitalize selected text"
oncommand="..."/>
</broadcasterset>
</overlay>
You can notice the desc attribute, it contains a short description about the command.
The string preceding the colon (:) represents the category command, the other the real description.
The XUL <menuitem/>s use the observes attribute to reflect key binding.
The attribute value must match the broadcaster id.
<menuitem id="morekomodo-openfavorites"
label="Open favorites..."
observes="cmd_morekomodo_favorites" />
ActiveState has defined a set of categories not all applicable to OpenKomodo.
Developer can define its own category but it’s recommended to join already existing one 
| Name | OpenKomodo |
|---|---|
| Breakpoint Manager | no |
| Code Browser | yes |
| Debugger | no |
| Editor | yes |
| Find | yes |
| General | yes |
| Help | yes |
| HTTP Inspector | no |
| HTTP Inspector Rules | no |
| HTTP Proxy Debugger Editor | no |
| Macro | yes |
| Projects/Toolbox | yes |
| SCC History | no |
| Source Code | yes |
| Source Control | no |
| Toolbox | yes |
| Tools | yes |
| User Interface | yes |
Another benefit from this technique consists to have key bindings into the list generated by OpenKomodo (ie from Help menu select “List Key Bindings”)
