Redefine the Delete key?
-
Because I'm also making an Eraser tool - similar to SU's native Eraser tool.
-
Aah !
How about something like shift+E, ctrl+E or alt+E[rase] to erase individual ones ?
However, I think thatBackspaceis a good compromise withDeletebeing unavailable to you...
-
Backspace works well I think.
In 3dsmax, delete and backspae server different purposes, but both delete things. I think people with max background will have no problems getting used to it.
-
I just realised that using the Backspace would interfere with the VCB input - as users can use Backspace to erase input they've entered...
-
How about Ctrl+Backspace or Ctrl+Delete ?
-
I'm thinking that I might leave this for the user to configure.
-
just a thought, can you not remove it from SU shortcut list when your script starts so you have access then return it to SU when your script exits?

No - You can't even redefine it from the SU UI. It won't let you.

i removed it from the edit/delete shortcut and i couldn't even reassign it. had to open another copy of SU. -
?
So one can remove the shortcut? But not reassign it? Nor even restore it to the SU default? 
-
you can remove it through preferences>shortcuts, by highlighting it and hiiting the - button. but no i couldn't reassign to edit>delete after
-
i tried to fool it with ascii, no luck.
btw, how is your script coming along?
-
Starting to shape up. I'll be making a post about it this week.

Hi Thom
Have you tested for compatibility on the mac. Remember that the default key in the mac to erase stuff is backspace, not delete.
-
No - not yet tested OSX.
