Hi Christian et al,
I'm not aware of any shortcut (keyboard, flag or any) for speeding up the reinstallation of a REPO module once the XQ file is being updated when working in the GUI.
At the moment I always reinstall from the preference menu but when developing in continuous it's a bit tedious and often I forget it and have to switch back from my test environment to reinstall.
Is there any way or could you think of any good shortcut to (at least partially) automate the reinstall procedure after updating the .xqm module in a GUI tab?
Thanks,
Marco.

Hi Marco,
Note that you can directly edit the files in your repository. In this case, there will be no need at all to use the REPO commands.
If you prefer to edit the files outside the repository, you could type the REPO INSTALL command into the input bar on top of the GUI and execute it every time after you’ve updated your files.
Hope this helps,
Christian

Ok, thanks Christian.
I'll go with the second option because we use to develop on the git repo and then transfer the code into a deployment area which contains the repo. Maybe one could extend realtime execution to the command input bar or add a shortcut for re-executing the command bar content like ctrl-enter for the editor area?
Regards,
Marco.

I guess that could be fairly dangerous because a command would always be executed whenever you type in a single character.

If you enable the "Realtime mouse focus" in the GUI Preferences, it’ll be sufficient to move the mouse cursor over the command field and press enter. Another option is the F6 shortcut, which focuses the command bar (with F12, you can jump back to the editor panel). Maybe this helps?

F6 + F12 sounds good enough!
Thanks for the hint.

Fine. Check out our Wiki [1] to learn more about additional shortcuts that are not documented in the GUI menus.
