friendica (DFRN) - Link to source

I have written about this before, and it just happened again. I somehow managed to hide the TweeseCake window. I know that there is a way to unhide it, and also to show all commands. However, not every keyboard can handle the alt+Windows+shift+letter commands. Right now, I'm using a Toughpad, and the only access I have to it is via such a keyboard. I had to go into my application data folder, delete the TweeseCake folder (why it's not a true portable app, I don't know), then log into TweeseCake, then reauthorise Friendica to use it, then reset a few settings. I am going to save said folder so that, if this happens again, I can delete it from my computer and readd it from my thumb drive, but please, can anyone tell me if there is a way to disable this invisible windows mode, or whatever it's called? If not, can someone write a script to do it? This is beyond annoying, and it's really the only thing I don't like about this program, which is perfect otherwise!

Given that TC is currently being rewritten, I really don't think anything is likely to be done about this from the developer's end. From your posts, I assume you know quite a bit about editing files, so you may want to handle this from your end. It's quite a simple process. In the main TC config session, you'll find a listing for "keymap", with a name after it. Go to the main TC folder (not the one you deleted and replaced, but the actual program folder), go into the keymaps folder, and find the named keymap. That is, if your keymap entry in the TC config session says "default", find default.keymap", and open it in notepad. Search for window_toggle and edit the keystroke to the right of the = sign to something which you will never hit, or something that can be accessed from your current keyboard. Save the file and restart TC. The new keystroke should now work and you need never hit the old keystroke which your keyboard can't do, whether accidentally or on purpose.
