Problem with key mapping using key_header & key_source [message #8300]

I've stumbled across the way in which TheIde handles it's key mapping, and thought I'd try the same method in my application. It doesn't seem to documented anywhere though.

I think I've figured out how it all works (very clever, as usual Smile

) but I'm having trouble making it work the way it does in TheIde source.

I've added the following code to my header and source file:

#define KEYGROUPNAME "Example Keys"
#define KEYNAMESPACE ExampleKeys
#define KEYFILE      <Keys/KeysExample.key>
#include             <CtrlLib/key_header.h> // replaced with key_source in source file

and my .key file looks like this:

KEY(KEY1, "Key assignment 1", K_CTRL_1)

In TheIde keys are then accessed with code such as:

IdeKeys::CUTLINE().key

but in my example case the code

ExampleKeys::KEY1().key

doesn't compile (KEY1 is not a member of ExampleKeys) unless I change it to:

ExampleKeys::COMBINE(AK_, KEY1)().key

which is obviously not very pretty. I cannot find any any obvious difference between the two implementations, so what is the problem? A missing preprocessor directive? I've attached an example app to illustrate.

I also think this stuff needs documenting (unless I'm being thick and just can't find it), since it's a nice feature that would be useful in many apps. I'll do this myself if you like and perhaps flesh out my example as well.

Cheers.

No, it is IdeKeys::AK_CUTLINE().

reference/AK is quite a good demonstration of AK stuff...

Fortunately, there is need for COMBINE here....

Example is there, however, documentation would be nice. Especially if you would manage to do it in Topic++ so that I can directly put it into the uppsrc.
