Shortcuts to modified tools: can one do it?
-
assigning shortcuts to tools one can reach through menus and contextual menus is easy enough. but what about actions that are triggered by a modifier key? for one, is there a way to assign a shortcut to move-copy (Tools-->Move + alt(option)?
-
Interesting, but I don't think its possible. I was thinking that a ruby could be written that just accessed the move tool and forced SU to think that the ctrl hey was being held down, but I am not sure that SU can tell a tool that a key is being held down. I think it can only check to see if a key is being pressed.
I new copy tool could be coded and then assigned a shortcut. But thats not quite what you were looking for,

hm... I think you can send Win API calls from ruby, which I then think it would be possible to send a "Ctrl" key stroke. If I'm not wrong, there was a thread doing that to allow a script to open a group or component.
Though, not sure if there's matching feature for Mac...

Chrisi would not mind that as long as the copying got done.
