Button Editor

[EagleBrewing]

I am trying to get a handle of the Button Editor.   
I have looked at the samples and tried to make some new buttons.
I am making progress!
I would like some direction as to where I find documentation on the codes used in the Button Editor.
Such as ...#{b,13} (${Core.1350}),  and any other info on setting up buttons.
I think the Core.xxxx relates to a internal command.
Any help would be appreciated.
If there are some posts on the matter, please pass them on to me.

Thanks
Bob

The #{...}, That is just references to Text string from the language files so the default button are shown with the correct language. That you can ignore

The other is just the raw ID of a command, You find the ID in the list of commands, in the window here you customize hotkeys..
But normally you will not need the raw id.  Must command can be found if you select "internal" as command type.

some information is found here.

Hello all.
I am finally getting back to working with the buttons and the button editor.  Life got in the way and I got really busy!
Buttons are a really cool feature of MC!  Well, it is all cool!
I still don't understand how to or know where to look for on how to assign a  chosen button to a particular keystroke (F3, or keystroke combo, etc).
Like, I want to change my F-Keys to something that I want, and can't seem to make the connection.
I understand the setting up of the commands.
Just can't seem to get a handle of assigning the keystrokes.
Any thoughts, suggestions, help, etc.
If there are some posts or help pages on the matter, please point me to them.
Thanks ...
Bob

Hortkeys are configured in the Menu > Configuration > Keyboard customization

OK, I think I am getting it now.
Buttons and Keyboard shortcuts are two separate functions.
Excellent!  What a great program!
Thanks ...

On buttons you can create user defined command directly.
But it is better to create a global user defined command , because then you can call it from a button , and assign a hotkey.  add it to the menu and so on.

OK, that makes sense.  And I'll try that approach.

Is there a list somewhere of all the internal commands that are available.
I want to create button (or hotkey) that will open the keyboard shortcut menu.
I use shortcut keys all the time.
Scrolling through the drop down boxes, it is easy to miss the command that I am looking for.
I can't seem to find that command.  It would help if they were in order.
I'm sure it is there!
Thanks.

Not really.  Commands are added and removed with every release and it would be to much work to keep it in sync

But you see all of the internal command when you select command type "Internal command" in Button editor or in UserDefiedCommands.
