CCSV5.1 Key binding

Hello,

I am changing key prerences, and really just want a key to do the same action, whenever it is used.  But is it true ... just like CCSV4, even in CCSV5.1, you must still bind that key to every possible "When" condition (there are up to 20 or 30 possible)?  How about an option to "bind this key to all 'When' conditions", to make it easier?

Also, when I am in the text edit window, hitting any of my keys does not do the requested binding action, but instead brings up a dialog box in the corner that prints the binding action (for example "Build All"), and a message that says "Press Ctrl-Shft-L to open the preference page"?.  I have bound my action (Build All) to everything that should apply to this case  (C/C++ Editor, Debugging, Debugging C/C++, etc), but cannot get it to do anything but pop-up that dialog.

Please advise

Robert

    You will run into key binding conflict very easy if it was binded to all conditions. The 'Windows and Dialogs' condition is what you are looking for.

    That windows indicates that the key binding has a conflict with another command. Try changing your key binding to another key sequence.
