Shortcut Runner

Post by clintonman »

ShortcutRunnerPanel.jpg

The Shortcut Runner will display a list of all available shortcuts, including widget shortcuts. The shortcuts are run using the buttons on the left. The list can be sorted and filtered. This is useful for finding the shortcut you rarely use and for learning the shortcuts that would be helpful to you. Some of the shortcuts do not have any corresponding toolbar button, so they can only be run via shortcut keys... until now. :)

The panel closes by default after running the shortcut. This is because some shortcuts will change the state of tS possibly making the list of shortcuts invalid. For example if you are in a 3D window and you use the Link Editor shortcut, the LE window will be active and the list of 3D window shortcuts won't be valid, except for the Global shortcuts which are valid all the time. Uncheck the "Close On Run" to keep the panel open and use the Update or sort by buttons to update the list.

This was mostly created for the Unofficial Updates which have many shortcuts. The base tS does not have nearly as many so this set of scripts may not be useful for it.
There are a lot of shortcuts. The image above shows close to 200 active shortcuts when in point edit mode. In reverse order for this case there are the PE shortcuts, the View widget shortcuts, the 3D window shortcuts and finally the Global shortcuts. The global shortcuts are at the top of the list and the most specific shortcuts are at the end. If different modes have the same shortcut assigned, the more specific shortcut will be the one that will appear in the list.

The documentation is not complete at this time.

I see the switch problem. The xml file has "%WIN_ID%" Need to change to the active window id in the runner. Fixed for next release.

Undo, that's a funny one. Had to make a special case that runs it twice. Fixed for next release.

Redo, can't do it. Made an alert for saying it cannot be run from the shortcuts runner.
