Print Shortcuts found
-
Hi All
Small payback.
I was cleaning up my plugin hoard and found this long lost "gotta have" plugin.
printkeys.rb
All the shortcuts that you have forgotten show up as a URL in your browser and then can can be printed or saved.
Works for me in SU 8 Pro and SU 2013 Pro like magic.
See attached.

I bought an X-Keys programmable keyboard and had to make shortcuts for all of the commands I wanted to make into key selections. This really helped.
Interestingly, I have a plugin called "options.rb" which has two plugins on its toolbar called "center selected" and "zoom selection extents". They both work fine, but when I try to find them to create a shortcut I cannot find either of them!!
If an object is selected it will zoom to that object: if no object is selected it will zoom to the model extents just like the SU version (Camera/Zoom Extents).
To make matters more elusive, both of these plugins exist in C:\Program Files (x86)\SketchUp\SketchUp 2013\Plugins\Toolbars\Files\Sketchup\commandsThis is the zoomExtents.rb:
cmd = UI::Command.new("CameraZoom") {
if Sketchup.active_model.selection.length <= 0
Sketchup.send_action "viewZoomExtents:"
else
Sketchup.send_action "selectionZoomExt:"
end
}
cmd.large_icon = "../images/zoomExtents_lg.png"
cmd.small_icon = "../images/zoomExtents_sm.png"
cmd.tooltip = "Zoom Selection/Extents"
cmd.status_bar_text = "Zoom to selection, or model Extents if no selection."
cmd.menu_text = "Zoom Extents"
#cmd.set_validation_proc { tool_validation_proc("CameraZoomWindowTool") }
@cmd = cmdBut the tool tip for the Camera/Zoom Extents doesn't say that. It says, "Zoom the camera in or out to show the extent of the model".
Can anyone tell me how to make the two plugins in the Command file active? (Putting them into the Plugins folder doesn't do it.)

Bob,
You could set the shortcut for the native "Zoom to selection" by first making a selection to zoom to. The native Edit/Item/Zoom Extents that actually zooms to the extents of the selection is then in the list of shortcuts.
It should work the same way for the plugin. I've never bothered with a plugin for that since it is available natively. -
Thanks, Dave. I use the zoom-to-selection icon a lot. I have a SpaceMouse at work and in complicated models I sometimes "spacemouse" myself to the place that I've lost contact with the object I'm working on. I just hit zoom-to-selection and get back on track. Since I use it so much I definitely wanted it as a key on my X-Keys programmable keyboard.
Thank you very much for your help.

this is indeed a great plugin. what is great, is you can command + F to search your lengthy list of shortcuts. I have an older versionprintkeys.rbas unfortunately this one did not work for me. however on mac it outputs in weird hieroglyphics, but in Firefox, if you pick View, Character Encoding, UTF-8, it will appear correctly.
