Why No Support For Alt Keys, And Alt-F4 To Close?

Ah, well this is indeed super bad!

I got an exception after I bound a key combo to the top-level “recently ooaded” list; maybe I’ll look at the code to see why it is doing math against nil (that was the gist of the error).

Thanks!

Oops, that might be a bug that only appears when installing… I would hope. Definitely type the message over or copy/paste from Renoise log, if you see it again and have the time. Thanks! Hope it works now.

The problem is the script has a hard-coded path separator that assumes Windows.

There are two places that use “\” when splitting a string. That fails on my Ubuntu install.

I replaced those references with a variable that I set at the top of the script …

local path_slash = "/"  

… and all was good.

What’s needed is a way to set this based on the user’s OS.

EDIT:

I think this will work (I grabbed it from the Duplex code but have not yet tried it on Windows)

local path_slash = "/"  
  
if (os.platform() == "WINDOWS") then  
 path_slash = "\\"  
end  
  

BTW, sweet tool. Really helpful. Thank you for this.

Thanks for the report and fix! Will update on git right away.
I couldn’t live without it as soon as I coded it, had to share it. Don’t forget you can always thank me via paypal

The day someone would find even mine, i will let you have some of the share :)

Lol. I meant to put it in smallsize letters. I’m not gonna wait for that tho lemme get ma money in otha wayz.

If there is a shortcut for quitting Renoise, wouldn’t it be just as sensible to have one that will start it? I can’t find any.

If you’re on Windows, AutoHotKey to the rescue:

  
#r::Run "C:\Program Files\Renoise 2.8.1\Renoise.exe"  
  

Win-R now opens Renoise. :guitar:/>/>
(Maybe modify the path to the .exe as needed)
