      Cool! But $2400US. 😲

      That would be really neat in conjunction with that tablet I'm eying.

      I was thinking a bit lower tech. Like a keyboard with transparent key covers that could be removed and little icons printed on paper inserted.

      ThinkGeek shows it at $1600US but not available.

        That could be cool. I see your point but you could make it so frequently used keys are bigger or in easier to reach locations.

        Even the Aux which appears to be only a prototype would be good.

          It can display video on its surface. ...so maybe a 3d model...?

            That would be neat.

            I was looking at the Project Blog and there's a compact keyboard in the works with larger displays on the keys (64x64) and expected to sell for under $1000US. Of course that was from June. Who knows what's really going to be available.

              I had thought it would be a nice interface to assign keyboard shortcuts to have a keyboard image that you could just drag tools into vs. the current method. Another thing that would be nice (short of improved GUI to assign keyboard shortcuts) is a plugin that would generate a keyboard shortcut screenshot based on your current settings.

                David, those are great ideas. There's a plugin to generate a list of the assigned keyboard shortcuts. I wonder if it is possible to make a plugin that would paste PNG images at specified coordinates over a drawing of the keyboard.

                  Drumming up an old thread....but is there anyway to access a list of assigned keyboard shortcuts and perhaps export them as .csv? I'm teaching my wife Sketchup and want to get her used to the shortcuts I have setup, but am being too lazy to write them all down.

                    There's a plugin that will create a list of the assigned shortcuts. I think it is called shortcuts.rb. I'll see if I can find the link.

                    Here you go: http://rld.crai.archi.fr/rld/plugin_details.php?id=373

                    You can then copy the shortcuts from the list and paste them into whatever sort of document you want.

                        i have my standart modeling tools assigned to mouse buttons in combination with "shift", "strg" and "alt" (the mouse buttons no.3-5 have assigned the function keys "F3", and "F8" and "F10" assigned)
                        I can select them without thinking. It's more like finger gestures that happen automatically.
                        The resulting combinations are at the moment:

                        F3..........................pointer/select
                        F3+shift.................push/pull
                        F3+ctrl...................mirror selection (plugin)
                        F3+alt....................line
                        F8..........................move
                        F8+shift.................rotate
                        F8+ctrl..................scale
                        F8+alt...................rectangle
                        F3+shift+ctrl..........tape measure
                        F3+shift+alt...........circle
                        F8+shift+ctrl..........fredo scale - box scaling
                        F8+ctrl+alt............follow me
                        F3+shift+ctrl+alt....paint bucket
                        F8+shift+ctrl+alt....offset

                        and some keyboard only:

                        ^............................reverse face
                        X............................toggle x-ray
                        Q............................remove all materials
                        H............................toggle hidden geometry
                        G............................make group
                        G+shift...................make component
                        v............................field of view
                        z............................zoom extends

                        T+shift+ctrl............uv-frontface to backface
                        T+shift+alt.............uv-backface to frontface
                        T+shift+ctrl+alt......delete backside material

                        and some standart shortcuts like
                        shift+ctrl+v............paste in place
                        T............................top view
                        .
                        .
                        .
