Anyone know how I can configure Global Commands,
and can I only use CTRL-Keys as a global command?
and can I only use CTRL-Keys as a global command?
Yes. Otherwise, they would interfere with normal operations. Imagine if you the letter 'T' for a global command. How would you send e-mail to Tom?

Well, using ordinary letters wouldn't work well for obvious reasons, but there's many alternatives to CTRL keys. Several BBS packages have globals begin with a / or an =... for example, listing who's online in WG is done by typing =# or /# at the start of a line. I guess the difference comes into p that WG is not hotkey-based while Sync (usually) is though... but I still find myself trying to to /# on Sync boards from time to time, old habits are hard to break :(
Configurable global commands aren't support (internally, at least) in the current release and beta of Synchronet. v3.10g does add support for global commands, however.Ok thanks, It's not a problem really, Just woulda been nice to customize my menu's even more.Just starting to understand the Baja scripts, Already changed a few menu commands, woulda been nice to change the Globals.

Those types of global commands would interfere with other features/functions the classic Synchronet command shell, the internal message editor, and eventually external programs/doorgames. Ctrl keys have a lot fewer conflicts

ok i would like to do something sort of like the sysops menu useing ;String for the commands... how ever i was thinking of back to that darn MBBS/WG thing again of a global package and using the key i was used to like " ' " or the " ~ " how ever i wanted to do a who's on but cant seem to locate the CTRL Key menu i know that ^U is who's online but what does it call...
and if i wanted to have one for sending a message to another node what is that command... basically i want to by pass the ^P and go right to message mode

I'm not really sure what want to do. Perhaps SCFG->External
Hot Key Events is what you're looking for? You can use these to launch anyBaja
or JavaScript module at the press of a ctrl key.

OK lets try it this way...one thing at a time... sorry my mind is always 20 miles ahead of my hands
Baja Command PRIVATE_MESSAGE
This function is used for private internode messages, telegrams, or chat. Same as the Ctrl-P initiated function.
can i just have a key defined to send inernode messages only, rather than giving them the choice like the Crtl-P
The same thing for the who's online Ctrl-U gives just who is online, i would like to be able to do the same thing but not use the Ctrl-U
and yes i understand that the Ctrl-Keys are contained in the C++ code for the EXE it self i just wanted to make a sort of uniform globals package, i am working on a more indepth Major BBS clone,
which makes me need to ask another question, does the chat offer any way to use the sysop functions like uedit or do i need to mod the chat source files and recomplie?
