Can a mapkey delete itself?

[Chris3]

I tried recording it and nothing got recorded so I am guessing not. Has anyone played a trail file or otherwise deleted a mapkey?

Currently I am loading back in a blank mapkey over the top of the old mapkey which effectively deletes it. It still leaves it in the list of mapkeys though.

You should be able to delete a mapkey in the dialog box.  Remember, you must then save your mapkeys to keep the change.

You can also delete lines out of your config.pro file.

I think it can, look at this example:

mapkey $F6 ~ Command `ProCmdUtilMacros`;\
~ Select `mapkey_main` `list_mapkeys` 1 `$F6`;\
~ Activate `mapkey_main` `DeleteButton`;\
~ Activate `mapkey_main` `CloseButton`;

It opens macro dialog, selects the desired mapkey, deletes it and close dialog box.

Just replace  $F6 with your own mapkey name in line 1 and 2.

Jose.

Did you pull that from the trail file or coerce the mapkey to record it?

Asking for a friend.

Yes, I did the cheating, I copied it from the trailfile.

Awesome. Thank you.
