New front end editor problem

[Former Member]

I'm quite new on this forum, so don't be so angry if I'm asking about something that someone else was asking for, by i didn't found answer on my question.

So...

In my company, administrator made some updates in 4.7, after that updates new front end editor is avalible (this with code colorin, code hinting, code folding etc).

But I have some problem with keyboard mapping scheme. When i try to save my own setting or change keymapping to another one, SAP stop responding (it's not a crash with short dump but simple aplication freezing). I tried to find some solution to this behaviour but I didn't found it yet.

My question is:

1) Did someone else have the same behaviour as I?

2) Where to find SAP notes about front end editor?

Thx in advance for any help

Have you tried to edit them manually via XML editor?

The config files normally located to c:\Documents and Settings\<username>\ab4_data\.

Have you tried to patch your GUI or try to completely reinstall it?

changing manually values doesn't help beacause I still can't switch between Keymapping settings (one with default setting and one with my extended shortcuts).

Of course I can replace it manualy and change them name and there should be everthing allrigt but this is not a solution.

About reinstalling. I'm programmer (developer) and I don't have permission to make any change in SAP configuration (any installations, updates are performed by administrator).

I already send them a ticket with request to solve this problem but for now he didn't found the solution. So i decide to find it on my own way.

Keymapping settings in file:

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\ab4_data\keymap.xml

You should also check the following dir:

c:\Program Files\SAP\FrontEnd\SapGui\ab4_data\

During patch installation this dir is overwritten, and during the first use of the new editor, the files from here copied to the <username>\ab4_data dir, where you can change them.

Might be permission problem, I can imagine, that if you have no authorization to change these files, the GUI starts hanging or chrashing.
