xplorer2 HACK : Convert any menu item to a toolbar button !!
Stopped working
Weird- it stopped working. Just shows the command being executed as a quick flash and then nothing happens.

MenuHack has stopped working for me a few times also... sometimes restarting x2 fixes it and other times you need to reboot to fix it. I usually see this after I install a new version of x2. It actually happened today for no apparent reason and I had to reboot to fix it.
BTW, snakebyte, could you post the source to MenuHack 1.1 when you get a chance?

Due to some mild incompatibilities with x2 v2.0, the old MenuHack code has been known to unexpectedly "cough" inexplicably (bird-flu, no doubt) when used and not actually function appropriately - so, with Snakebyte's permission I rewrote it to simplify the code. While I have the hubris to christen it version 1.2, I take no credit as all I did was clean up someone else's spilt milk and organise his bookshelf into alphabetical order. We thank Snakebyte for the original.

I tried using MenuHack to create a toolbar button for Swap panes (Ctrl+U), which is sadly lacking. Unfortunately it hasn't worked.
Here's the code:
I can make User Commands work with other apps. Currently using MenuHack 1.2.0.0.
I would appreciate it if anyone can think of a reason why this isn't working for me.
Here's the code:
Code: Select all
Name: Swap panes
Description: > "C:\MyFolders\MenuHack\MenuHack.exe" 32862

Thanks for posting the correct code.
That's strange. 32862 is given as the code in the list of hotkeys on P2 of this thread, and also in the hotkeys.txt file included with MenuHack. Maybe you guys should update this list.
(added) However, changing it to 32869 worked. I see it's in the file Menu_Commands.txt. There's no explanation included as to how to apply the code in this file - should I assume I look up the command then use the 5-digit code with MenuHack?

Fred apparently made a mistake in reproducing that text. :oops: Use the reference files found in the first post of this thread instead.maxand wrote:That's strange. 32862 is given as the code in the list of hotkeys on P2 of this thread
Yes - if some codes require the additional use of ALT/CTRL/SHIFT as modifier keys, include those after the code on the command line, for example (to copy to the opposite pane):maxand wrote:...should I assume I look up the command then use the 5-digit code with MenuHack?
Code: Select all

Yes, please use the reference files for hotkeys which is linked (and kept up-to-date) in the first post of this thread.

Better than relying on somebody else's post, you can always get a listing of current x2 hotkey assignments and their ID's for YOUR machine from
