Keyboard - Alt for Plugins not working
-
Hi, I've lost the ability to do alt pto get the plugins dropdown (all other menu dropdowns are working fine) - has anyone else had this and how did you solve it?
-
To find out what command is assigned to "ALT+P":
(1) Open the Ruby Console.
(2) type:
puts Sketchup.get_shortcuts.find {|ks| ks =~ /\AAlt\+P\t/ }
Then (3) open the Preferences dialog,(4) go to the Shortcuts panel,
(5) navigate to the command that was displayed in (2) above,
(6) highlight the "Alt+P" shortcut,
(7) click the "-" button.
Close the Preferences dialog.

Hi Dan, when I put that string into console I get this returned -
nil
nilI get the same return if I enter swap in F for file
-
Just to be sure the
findfilter is not working.. let us list them all:puts Sketchup.get_shortcuts.sort.. and see if there is a command set for Alt+P ?
-
Results from - puts Sketchup.get_shortcuts.sort [strange there's only one alt instance - my other alt shortcuts work - I reinstalled last week to see if I could get functionality back and still no change]

Next I would check your system wide keyboard accelerators for something set to ALT+P.

Thanks very much Dan, That was it - I use a shortcut tool called Clavier and I'd set Alt P to do something specific, and I now see that with Clavier I can set limits on the extent of that system change.
