Hi,
similar to i would like to do something like Unfortunately the id seems not to exist.... Any workaround available?

EGO would have to add the related Key ID and add the related Functionality there... Workaround i could imagine would be to to change the map lua scripts to open the galaxy map instead of the Sector or Zone Map if the Menu History is empty and renaming the respective Function in the UI.. or maybe its possible to add a Button to the Sidebar for this... would be cleaner, but probably not faster than opening the Sector Map and going 2 levels up...

How about hijacking the screenshot shortcut?
The map call looks pretty simple. I imagine it could becalled from any md script?!

you're right.. there is some MD between that which can be intercepted.. forgot about this...

its in md/MainMenu.xml under the cue //cue[@name="SectorMapStarted"] - or at least it was there last time i checked... but too tired currently to give more hints...

By changing that line, I could change the sectormap key to something else.
Unfortunately, I can't find the (for me) useless keys like screenshot or pause in any MD script.

because thats not done via md but handled directly within the game. i had no success so far ti create a new hotkey... just some sucesss in hijacking existent ones...

ah thats bad news :/
because the hijackable commands/hotkeys are useful for me

Not only for you

We (Uni and me) have asked, even begged, for an MD/XML command set that allows to detect, define and use keys in various ways but it seems the Dev team has other priorities (X4) which is fine by me. Just let's hope such command set will be available then

Cheers Euclid

don't share xr and x4 the engine etc?! so i gues we wont have that anytime soon :/

thats maybe like saying X BtF and X-T share the Game Engine.. or more fitting X3R (which didnt have custom Hotkeys) and X3TC (which had custom Hotkeys)....
