VS2022 Code Collapse/Expand Problem Figured Out
-
I posted on this problem a few weeks ago, now it's back = but I figured it out! For some strange reason, code collapse/expand just stopped working. I use this all the time. I use regions and always put them in same order in each file. That way, when I open a code file, all the regions are there and collapsed. That makes it really easy to find what I'm looking for. Anyhow, for some reason CTRL+M,M just no longer worked. If I Right-Clicked the code, went down to Outlining, and selected 'Toggle Outline Expansion', it works. This shortcut menu option is marked with CTRL+M. It just doesn't work via the keyboard. Well, I figured it out. While working I have Skype open and I'm on a call. During the call the Mute was activated. The other person on the call was like 'Are you there???'. I go look, and Skype is muted. When I hover over the mute button it's hot key it CTRL+M. While in VS and coding, and when I press CTRL+M,M - Skype intercepts that keypress and mutes the call - even though Skype isn't active. :mad::mad::mad:
In theory, theory and practice are the same. But in practice, they never are.” If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind.

You get a ten for having the presence of mind to notice the hot-key when mousing over the mute button! Sounds to me as if Microsoft cares more about Skype users than Developers! Developers! Developers!
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

It sounds like crappy programming to me. An app's hot keys should be in force whenever the app has the focus. The idea that Skype intercepts key strokes when its not active is stupid.

Without developers there would be no Skype!

Of course, you're correct. But are the Microsoft employed developers included in Developers Developers Developers?

Of course. But it begs the question why the team at MS that works on Skype, using Visual Studio, would not be aware of this??

I think it makes sense. If you're on a call, but mostly listening and doing something else, you may want to quickly unmute a call to make a comment then mute again, without the added hassle of first having to give Skype focus; hence it needs to be Global hotkey. Whatever hotkey was chosen as Mute might conflict with something else, so it might as well be easy to remember and then those who want to use that hotkey for something else can change the default to one which doesn't conflict.

Either they don't use Skype, or they don't use VS. :~ (AKA not eating your own dogfood)

Not necessarily. If you are sharing your screen via Skype, it may be filtering keystrokes globally to help manage the sharing. This might just be an unfortunate circumstance that could be solved by setting a different hot key in Visual Studio.

Nice catch, AMD's tray app is always another candidate, it keep itself reset to use global hotkeys. It was "cool" when Vista relegated Ctrl+Shift+0 to the IME, saying hello to all Delphi 7 developers (setting the 0th bookmark).

Originally Skype was written in Delphi. I assume it was converted, but maybe not?

MS architects were too narrow mind when they allow so much in Win. 1. Any app can intercept keyb focus. WHY?? I'm busy w Word, I don't give a hell IE cannot connect internet! But no, idiotic message will appear above the word and annoy me. 2. Any app can intercept DLL calls. THANK YOU for this Mars-size hole, MS smarties!! 3. Global keyb shortcuts. Again, nobody use 'em! Who the hell will remember all those Ctrl+Alt+FCKMETWICE, especially when they can be THE SAME in different app?? MS are such a clowns!
