2013 / 2014 custom shortcuts
-
In previous versions of sketchup, my shortcut to toolbar Layer was Alt + L but in 2013 and 2014 versions i am not able to assign shortcut.
It's possible create shortcuts to toolbars and custom toolbars? How?
-
Not natively, but a plugin could be made to add the toolbar names to a menu, and then you could assign shortcuts to the menu items.
Like this plugin, for example.

Hi Jim!
It's possible assign shortcut, for example, for roundcorners toolbar?
I have to edit ruby file? -

You do NOT need to edit anything.
Use the SketchUp menu's [Window} Preferences > Shortcuts
In the 'filter' enter part of the menu name you are looking to shortcut to - e.g. Round...
and you get a reduced list, select the appropriate menu item and assign a key or key-combo of your choice, if it would overwrite an existing key you are warned...
If a tool is context-sensitive - e.g. Texture, Reverse Faces, Orient Faces etc - you need to have something selected that would put that item in the context-menu - e.g. in the examples above a 'Face' - then it will appear in the filtered list when you open the Preferences > Shortcuts... -

I like enable and disable toolbars all the time, use shortcut and choose some of the options available .
As you have mentioned, i will have many shortcuts and i need just one.
Roundcorner is just one example, i could use Bezier_Toolbar which has many options. -
You cannot [or at least should not!] change shortcuts in Ruby code.
I fail to see what the issue is here.
There are plenty of keys available [A-Z,0-9,F1-F12 etc]and when combined with shift/ctrl/alt make more that enough for most users

I think he wants a shortcut for the toolbar not the tool.

Well, he can't have it !
Toolbar states are not shortcut-able.
He could write a script to toggle the toolbar on/off and then shortcut to that script's entry in a menu...
But he needs to find the toolbar to do that...
There are a few better methods for v2014, but it's still not easy...
