Delphi – map Caps Lock to something useful for the Delphi IDE

delphidelphi-2009ide

OK, so I know I can remap the Caps Lock key in Windows registry, but is there something useful I can map it to in the Delphi 2009 IDE? I was hoping for Code Completion (Ctrl-Space), is there a way to map the single Caps Lock key to a Ctrl-key combination?

Best Answer

Do yourself a favour and just download Autohotkey. This will allow you to remap the CapsLock key to absolutely any other key combination or action.

It can also do this on an application context sensitive basis (ie CapsLock automatically does different things based on the active window).

wintypes.pas and winprocs.pas has been replaced with windows.pas (since a long time). You should use Unit Aliases to replace all wintypes with windows.

PHPDoc type hinting for array of objects

In the PhpStorm IDE from JetBrains, you can use /** @var SomeObj[] */, e.g.:

/**
 * @return SomeObj[]
 */
function getSomeObjects() {...}

The phpdoc documentation recommends this method:

specified containing a single type, the Type definition informs the reader of the type of each array element. Only one Type is then expected as element for a given array.

Example: @return int[]
