Shortcuts Plugin Possible?
-
The two files in the zip file are SU_Clearer and SU_Training. Is that right?
For some reason, after looking at the registry and attempting the moves from your other thread I am now getting Bug Splats upon closing SU. I was going to uninstall it all and reinstall but now I wonder if your cleaner should be run instead.
-
Actually, I ran your cleaner and then went back and reset SU manually. that got rid of the bug splat.
-
..fantastic - i just went and tried it on a 'new' pc - it all worked..
and on my daughter's laptop! all my settings, cuts, rubys... everything........my sketchup portable
-
So, let me see if I understand this. If I open SU and set the shortcut I want to add scenes and then export the entire SketchUp registry [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Google\SketchUp6] and save it as dave.reg, I should be able to double click on dave.reg and then open SU to find that shortcut is still active?
What confuses me is that with SU closed the the Registry, under Settings shows there is a shorcut set for Pageadd: but when I open SU the shortcut doesn't work.
-
that's strange because it does on mine...i mean all the others..let me try with add scenes..
who knows maybe a bug
wow, just tried (twice) the add scene doen't work
mine is F12 i will try a different key -
The SketchUp folks acknowledged awhile ago that there were a few user set shorcuts that don't stick after setting. Add scenes was one.
That is why I was hoping for a Ruby script that would run at SU startup (like the one that calls the Select tool instead of the Pencil) and set the shortcuts by reading the preferences.dat file that is generated when you click Export in the Shortcuts setting dialog box.
I use Alt+A to add a scene but it won't stick ether.

got it - the problem is that it saves the key as 'add page'
instead we need it under 'View/Animation/Add Scene'i have added it to the registry manually (saved the key) now it works
what key do you normally use?
-
Hmm. So how does that look in the Registry. In other words, what would I type to add that to mine?
The curious thing is that I have U set to updatescenes and it shows in the Registry as pageUpdate: and no reference to scene.
-
Ha! I got it! I edited the entry changing it from pageAdd: to View/Animation/Add Scene and now I have a shortcut.
Woo hoo! Thank you sir. Now we need to tell the world.
-
that's right, @last folks must have forgotten to let google people know..
here's a ruby script that will tell you the proper name, you just have to write that over the unusable one.
-
I think I have that one. I need to look.
Thanks again.
-
the CadFather strikes again!
EDIT: one more bug, if you go and enter a new (or the same) key for 'add scenes', 'update scenes' etc
it will overwrite your tweak - however it will work as long as once you have set it you leave it alone.and that is the end for tonight
