Trying to create a shortcut for selecting a font

Dear List members,
i am trying to create a shortcut, in order to select a particular font
in xelatex.

I would like to define a short cut that insert this string.

{\Hiero }, as I am using a particular font for the transliteration of
Egyptian hieroglyphs different from the main font.

I would like to select as shortcut something like CTRL+ALT+h

If someone can help me and show how such thing can be achieved, I will
be extremely grateful.

In MainMenu.ini, after the lines

MENU="Alternatives"
   CAPTION="Alternatives"
   INVISIBLE=1

insert this:

   ITEM="$Hiero"
     CAPTION="Hiero"
     MACRO="IfSel(2,'>',!'SetSel(0);');InsLabel('','{\Hiero ','}');"
     SHORTCUT="41032::Shift+Alt+H"

menu item for deleting directory with all its content

Hello everybody,

I would like to add a menu item for deleting a directory with all its 
content and subfolders (namely the Cache_ directory created by CacheSweave).

RemoveDirectory(folder) only works for an empty folder and is not 
applicable.

I tried to add the following in MainMenu.ini and cannot figure out while 
it does not work.

   ITEM="Delete_cache"
     CAPTION="Delete Cache_"
     IMAGE="Delete"
     MACRO="WinExe('','rd /Q /S Cache_','%P','Deleting Cache_');"
     SAVE_INPUT=1
     REQ_FILTER="%P\%N.Rnw"

The command line "rd /Q /S Cache_" makes the expected job in the Command 
window.

Any hint would be welcome.
Cheers.
Gilbert

PS: I am using WinEdt 6 Build: 20110315  (v. 6.0)

This cannot possibly work:-)

You should either write a batch file containing the command

rd /Q /S Cache_

and execute it with WinExe or Run macro from WinEdt. Or else change
the definition to (something like):

  MACRO="WinExe('','cmd.exe /C rd /Q /S Cache_','%P','Deleting Cache_');"

Re: menu item for deleting directory with all its content

Many thanks Alex.
Obviously, I have to use cmd.exe /C to launch DOS commands.
Kind regards.

Escaping from Compiling

Hi,
I wondered if there is a shortcut (or if I can create one) to quit the
compiling after an error prompt?

I need this for example if I use PDFLatex with .eps pictures in my file,
then I get an error prompt for each picture and just want to compile again
into DVI without caring about the errors.

Which leads me to my second question, how can I tell WinEdt6 to compile a
DVI, then turn it into a PDF and then open Sumatra for viewing this PDF?

Thanks in advance
Sebastian

Re: Escaping from Compiling

Hello,
if I understand your question correctly, you just have to press X at
the prompt, to stop compiling completely, or press S to continue
compiling, ignoring all future errors.

cheers,

Options Menu -> Execution Modes. It can all be configured there (in
your case TeX Options| PDFTeXify method).

HINT: If you are new to this, press the Help button in Execution
modes dialog -- you will learn a few things!

Best regards,

Re: Escaping from Compiling

hi again,
I've read the help now and search a bit through all the options, but I
couldn't solve my Problem completely.

What I managed was to get sumatra open my file with .eps pictures after
checking the dvi->pdf option. That was really what I wanted, but. I don't
allways want that =) because if there are no pictures in the file, I still
want the fast direct way without using dvi step.

So what I would like to have is:
- on pressing CTRL+SHIFT+L he should start compiling using dvi->pdf mode
and
- on pressing CTRL+SHIFT+P he should compile with normal PDFTexify

is this possible without too much macro-hacking =) ? (I hope I just missed
an option)

thanks

This can be done by defining two menu items (one is already there)
and assign different shortcuts to them.

  MACRO="Assign(!'PDFTeXify-Method'!'2');Exe('%b\Exec\TeX\PDFTeXify.edt');"

will use dvi -> pdf and

  MACRO="Assign(!'PDFTeXify-Method'!'0');Exe('%b\Exec\TeX\PDFTeXify.edt');"

will use PDFLaTeX...

So you are a victim of your image which that is not compatible
with pdf. When you use your dvi "method" all eps files are
converted (using GS) every time you compile your document. That's
why it is slow and it makes no sense to be doing things like this.
If you have eps pictures but want to produce pdf document you
