Feature Request: Exception Handler Keyboard Shortcuts about lpp_public HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi,

Thank you for the detailed request, this is absolutely the right place to ask for something like this.
I very much like your suggestion in Option 1, and I think that maybe both options could be done?

Will follow up on this once I had a better look at it.

Excellent. I think Option 1 is the cleanest way.
However, I have a related issue if you're keen on going down the road of allowing focus on those pop-up controls.
There is a setting to focus the Broker window on one of Error, Success, Hot-Reload , Never and Always.
Error here is any one of Compile, Link or Exception Handler.

The problem is that I have my own diagnostics that intercept Compile + Link errors and display those in-game using the Live++ Hook API, but I can't prevent the Broker from focusing on those errors still.

In the original scenario, I want to immediately continue on Exception via Leave Function, and use my own in-game diagnostics to deal with Compile + Link errors. Ergo, in my workflow, the Broker is only a useful pop-up when it comes to the Exception behavior. With the default broker behavior, I have to Alt+Tab to bring up the broker if I'm not using multiple monitors, and that doesn't always handle the case when the Broker is minimized to the system tray and will re-focus to the primary monitor.

Hope the above makes sense, thanks for the fast reply.

I started looking into this and it feels like we first have to tackle the behaviour of the Live++ exception dialog.

However, it's worth noting that if I configure Live++ to always pop-up when intercepting an exception, none of the controls are 'focused', so I can't just fire off the last selected control or what have you.

Can you share your settings with me?
The exception hander dialog is supposed to open and then be focused, no matter the current notification settings.

It should also open in case the Broker is minimized in the system tray, so changing your notification settings to e.g. "Never" might be a general solution that lets you intercept Compile + Link errors using your hooks, while Live++ displays the dialog in case of an exception.

I'll look into assigning shortcuts to the controls and focusing the last selection.

I added shortcuts to each of the action buttons, and the dialog will now focus on the last selected action, or "Leave function" by default. I also renamed "Ignore exception" to "Continue execution" since it better explains what's happening and also allows us to assign non-ambiguous shortcuts.

If this works for you, I'll ship this with the next update.

This has shipped in Live++ 2.4.0:
