CCS/TMS320F28023: Key bindings don't work as advertised

Part Number: TMS320F28023

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Win7 32bit, CCS 6.2, F28023.

I have tried to create some key bindings, and it really seems to be hit or miss (mostly miss) as to whether they work or not.

For example, I'd like to set ctrl-F9 to "rebuild project" (generally I'd like to hit this when I am in an editor, sometimes I'd like to do when I am in project explorer.)

Actually, I'd like to do this no matter where I am no matter what window is open in CCS

I set the association (window->preferences->general->keys)  but when I press the key, a small tool-tip like window pops up in the lower right of CCS telling me what the association is, but it doesn't actually do it.

Can someone please help me to understand what is going on and how to fix it?

Thanks, Mark.

  • Mark,

    I find the bindings to be a bit tricky.  There are often multiple commands with the same name, you have to watch the "when" setting which controls when the binding applies.

    Here is what I have setup in CCSv6.2 and this is working for me.  Note that here the Category is "Code Composer Studio Project"

    For me this always builds the project that is marked as active.  If I am in the editor the active project will switch to match the project that contains the file that is open in the editor.

    Note that for me this only works in the CCS Edit perspective and not the CCS Debug perspective.  Once I open the Project Explorer in the Debug perspective it works there as well, even if it is minimized.

    Regards,
