I have the following 2 RingMenus:
How can I add a shortcut so that I can press "AO" for AddOrder, and "AC" for AddCustomer?
I know we can add shortcuts like:
command key("o") "AddOrder" "Add a new order"
But how can I make the shortcut to be more than one character?
I am looking for something like this:
command key("ac") "AddCustomer" "Add a new customer"
command key("ao") "AddOrder" "Add a new order"
But with the above line I'm getting the following error:
"ac" is not a recognized key value. See error number -4447.
Oh, and by the way:
Message number -4447 not found.
Succinctly, you can't. Menu keys are a single character.
IIRC, you could experiment with COMMAND 'ACustomer' and COMMAND 'AOrder'. The ambiguous first letters mean a 'menu resolution method' is used after you've typed the opening a, so you'd have to type C or O (in either upper-case or lower-case) to select the menu option. You need to keep typing the common leading letters, so 'Add Customer' and 'Add Order' would require a, d, d, before choosing c or o.
On the whole, though, it is simpler and arguably better to strict to unique initial letters for the options in the menu commands.
