Using + and - to scale regardless of tool selected

Problem is, you'll conflict with other tools that require VCB input - often one need to enter a negative number.

and the period and comma keys.

PageUp and PageDown might be good choice, though they are already assigned to something. Maybe that would be an ok pair to overwrite.

Thanks again guys for steering me in the right direction. I think I've got it sorted out.

What about the up and down arrow keys instead?

Chris Fullmer

up and down (well, up for sure) are used in inference locks. Up forces inferencing to the blue axis. Maybe add a ctrl to it? So ctrl-up ctrl-down? That could be nice.

on mac they have been re-allocated to create new pages, annoyingly when you want to lock the blue axis...

This doesn't sound right... Sure it's not on your system?

it's not right, but possibly since M3, it's been driving me nuts..

I certainly haven't added it anywhere and it happens with
Plugins on or off,
Developer Tools on or off,
Advanced Camera tools on or off,
Dynamic Components on or off,
All off or All on...

open a drawing new or old...
click up-arrow result new scene
click down-arrow result delete scene

open a drawing new or old...
draw a rectangle select move tool grad a corner, start a move
click up-arrow result new scene
click down-arrow result delete scene

but, It was and I found it,
View/Animations/Update Scene
View/Animations/Delete Scene
View/Animations/Add Scene
View/Animations/Previous Scene
View/Animations/Next Scene

All had Shortcuts I've never assigned, using the arrow keys, must be a plugin I tested?

so cheers TT, I just got pissed off and didn't look, as I have never changed those...

Could be an animation plugin or scene manager... If it is, then it's bad manners from the developer.

I test all 'Custom Toolbar' type rubies I find, to see if they work fully on mac and one of them probably set shortcut keys for some reason... I only dig deeper in ones that show promise...

So my advice to the OP is please inform you users if you assign/re-assign 'shortcut' keys for them.

Or rather, give them the option to decline such change.

Violating this rule should be grounds for quarantine, IMHO.
