Does anyone know of a clean way tolog the use of mapkeys? I would like to know if certain mapkeys are being used and how often.
The trail file does not necessarily capture the name of the mapkey depending on which method is used to initiate it (keyed in, menu/icon pick, Mapkey dialog box). I can add the @system to call out a batch file in each mapkey but that causes the system window to flash. It would be great to find a way that doesn't cause an additional window to flash or if there is an additional way to create logging somehow.
Along a similar vein...
In the past when planning on a Pro/E upgrade, I would test all the mapkeys and delete any that were going to fail in the new version. When we rolled that version out, I'd play dumb when users asked why they weren't working any longer: "Huh. Must be because of the upgrade. Give me the details and I'll try to find time to recreate it."
Of the 10 or 12 mapkeys that got deleted, only two had to be recreated.

I've been there, done that.
Then, when they complain two years later that it's not there, I tell them
that it never was, and they were / are imagining things. If you haven't
needed it in the last two years, you don't need it today either.
Thank you for the new ideas. I have some new options to start testing now. Good to see that this may help some others with similar aspirations.
