No way to remove "default" user defined macros?
I just installed WinCompose and started looking at what I could do with it and I found the "user-defined macros" section. After scrolling through it, I determine that I'd like to use three of the sequences listed, and remove the others - but there's apparently no way to do this. Right clicking an a number of things has no effect, the user macros file doesn't include any of them, and checking the program installation directory didn't give me any hints either. Am I missing something, or is that part of things just not changeable?
Probably not related but discovered in the process of trying to fix this: after navigating away from the user macros list in the sequence display window, it is not possible to return to it. I suspect that the issue is that the sequence display is only updated when the category list selection is changed, but there's only one item under the user macros supercategory, so the selection can't change. Maybe also update when the radio buttons selection is changed?
Update: the sequences might be disabled but I wouldn't know it, partly due to the second issue outlined above and partly because the sequence display window doesn't seem to take into account whether a given sequence is enabled or not. I unchecked all three of the predefined sequence libraries to disable them, hit the reload button, and then opened the sequence display. All sequences previously visible are still shown. Attempting to use several of them results in no effect for any of them.
These sequences are in the file C:\Program Files\WinCompose\res\WinCompose.txt. There is no global option to disable them because there are so few of them, so you will have to either:
- remove that file locally
- wait until a new version of WinCompose allows you to disable these sequences manually
I hope this is acceptable for now!
That's not a problem, I just couldn't find them so I thought they were hard-coded or something. I've just removed the undesired sequences from the default files and filled in what I want in my .XCompose file instead, thank you! Also, I found that restarting the entire program seemingly refreshed the key sequence display, but there remains no way to look at the user macros a second time without doing a full restart of the app, and also no way to refresh the list without the same even though the options window's "reload" button replaces the functional sequences.
These sequences are in the file C:\Program Files\WinCompose\res\WinCompose.txt
@samhocevar Is this answer still up to date? I'm seeing sequences that don't show up in any of the files in that directory, such as <Multi_key> <space> <t> for the.
