How to list all Sketchup.send_action?

Pixero

I know there is a way to list all SketchUp's send_action but I seem to have forgotten it.
Can someone enlighten me?

Unknown to me... the Ruby documentation have a list though.

Here's one but it won't work for me.

We have long had a snippet list of the actions strings in this forum:

Be sure to read down the thread for updates, omissions, new actions found, old ones retired etc.

@thomthom, I'll file an issue to update the official docs using this thread as a reference.

I have used a command line utility to scan the executable for strings ending in a colon. Something like this:


> strings sketchup.exe | grep -e ";$"

@ Dan: Thanks, but how do you retrieve those string and numeric lists?
Surely not by manually entering all numbers between 1 and 21560?

I don't know where the numbers come from, but the docs say they aren't guaranteed to work anyway.

Yeah, but I'm not going to make any public release of my script. It's purely for me.

I can get some command ID numbers from menu items and buttons etc. by using a resource inspector utility. Currently I am using one named "Inspect Object" that comes with Microsoft Windows SDK, that can inspect GUI objects in realtime of all running applications.

P.S. - command ID integers only work on the Windows platform.
