Listing Shortcuts

sketch-gary

Hello,

I am a Sketchup newbie - I now have v2013 Pro. Since v8 free I have been trying unsuccessfully to be able to print all of the assigned command keystrokes. I know that I can print the standard sheet but I want to know what are the assigned keystrokes that I have assigned so that I can print them, as my memory isn't the best.

There is a utility at the bottom of the Windows/Preferences/Shortcuts screen to export the assigned commands to file called Shortcuts.dat. I have added a bunch of command keystrokes and deleted a couple of the standard ones. Before I just reinstalled Pro 2013 I only got a file with 20 keystrokes when I exported Preference.dat. I just imported that same file from the beginning of July 2013 and then exported it with no changes to the keystrokes and I get 33 keystrokes commands back, most of what I assigned but only a few of the standard ones.

Is there anything out there that would allow ALL OF THE COMMANDS to be exported to a file. Then the keystrokes could be changed or added and sent back to SketchUp?

This would allow us to have control of what keystrokes we have and what commands are available. Apparently SU is working on this problem, as the 33 keystrokes showed up from the 20 loaded back - I assume that the data file for the keystrokes was kept even after I uninstalled and reinstalled v2013 Pro. This just seems so simple for them to do. So far I only have about 30 changes and additions that I would like to make. I am amazed at the available commands listed in that screen and the power that they offer. As it is it would take days to go through the commands just to find out what's there and how to add or modify them!

I hope that this is not too far off topic.

Copy the following into the Ruby console and you'll get a list of all the shortcuts whether they are default or you created them. You can copy the text from the resulting window and paste it in your favorite text editor for printing.

UI.messagebox(Sketchup.get_shortcuts.join("\n"), MB_MULTILINE)

You can see what it looks like here.

Thank you so much!

Is there also a way using a form of this command to display ALL of the commands whether they use a keystroke or not?

I'm not sure. One of the Ruby gurus can probably answer that.

I have been waiting for this for 5 years! Thanks a bunch!

Currently the Ruby API only has that one method to list assigned shortcuts.

Dave R

Will you be changing that?
