Doesn't work Shift+Del

Thank you for your wonderful product! Why the HotKeys combination Shift+Del doesn't work? By default, this is the same as Ctrl+X. What can i do?

Most keyboard shortcuts do not own a secondary alternative in HeidiSQL. However, you may change the Ctrl+X to a different one, in Tools > Preferences > Shortcuts. But I'm afraid the shortcut box there does not accept Shift+Delete.

However, in Microsoft Notepad it works).

Unfortunately, I can't write Shift+Del as shortCut((. The HeidiSQL does not allow this to be saved.

Maybe it is possible to disable all shortcuts HeidiSQL and leave the standard shortcuts or add the ability to add Shift+ to shortcuts?

I never edited that "cut" shortcut, and Shift+Del works like Ctrl+X does, at least in the SQL editors.

If that Shift+Del does not work for you, you can use regedit.exe, go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HeidiSQL and delete the value Shortcut1_ecCut (if it exists). Be sure HeidiSQL is not running when you do that. Afterwards, the default shortcut should apply.

Note: the shortcut editor does not accept any "Del" shortcut. This is not only a problem in HeidiSQL.

I'm going to fix this with a TSynHotKey again.
