I can't get the delete key to delete rooms in the mapper like with Zmud. I have to use the right-click menu to select delete.

The #menu doesn't seem to work like it did in Zmud.

These things I'd classify as minor annoyances which can be worked around. I bring them up in hopes that they'll some day work.

The delete key thing's been reported, it's related to the mapper not being given focus while it's a slideout window. There's a fix using a command (I believe it's #menu) and a macro on the delete key.

How do you expect #menu to work and what isn't it doing to behave that way?

#menu {Mapper|Edit|Move}

This may be the same focus issue. I use this to pop open the level changer for the mapper from the keyboard. It just fails to do anything.

It may well be - CMUD also can't tell when the mapper's open and closed, which may limit some mapper functions like that one. It's certainly not working - the "fix" I posted above about using #menu also doesn't work.

#Menu works for everything else, so my suspicion is that it's just not working with the mapper - we'd need confirmation from Zugg though.

Did you try #MENU when the mapper was docked or undocked? The mapper should work better undocked at the moment.

Mine is docked

Please see the following knowledge base post #MENU command regarding use of #MENU in CMUD.

After reading that post I tried to locate a list of possible #CMD options, but I didn't see the mapper move command listed among them, nor did it work when I tried "#CMD move".

Yes Taz, that's just listed as a way to avoid mapper options moving and rendering your #menu command unusable. We're entering the right path to get to the mapper commands we're trying to use, they're just not working.

Try undocking your mapper - not saying it will make this work, but it may solve some issues.

Nope, still no good.

ReedN: Yes unfortunately you might have to guess at the #CMD names as the knowledge base states they're never all going to be listed. Perhaps when Zugg gets to work on Monday he'll let you know what the valid #CMD commands are.

I'll eventually document the #CMD commands...it's part of the work on the help files that I'm doing. But the mapper is not yet fully integrated with CMUD. So there might not be #CMD values for the mapper for a while yet. The #MENU system should still work though. It uses the captions as shown in the actual menus. So, #MENU {mapper|edit|delete} *should* still work. The only problem with using #MENU is if the menus get moved, or if you customize the menus and move items or change their captions.

The Delete key problem in the mapper currently only works if the mapper window is undocked. It's a known bug and will be fixed with the other mapper docking bugs in one of the next couple of versions.

My menus are the default configuration, I haven't moved or customized them in any way. Perhaps someone else could try:
#menu {Mapper|Edit|Move}
to see if it's something specific to me.
