Hi folks, is there a way to check for hotkey conflicts in a module? I mean, to check if the same is not assigned to two different things? Or can I only check everything significant piece by piece? ---

There’s no built-in way, presently. I’ve seen someone do a custom script to accomplish this. If you are building a module in VASSAL 3.2, you could avoid potential problems altogether by employing Named Keystrokes. ---

Thx Joel… The issue is that this is not a built-in-from-scratch MOD (Panzer Leader), so there might be leftovers and changes and such… I could imagine a script/parser could do it, as the source of the MOD can be viewable as XML… So all I need to know is how the keys are mapped in Vassal? I believe I saw them numbered, but whether that is ASCII numbering or something else I do not know…
