Can I "Activate" a plugin-tool without manually clicking inside the viewport? (For plug-in lets me assign hotkey to saved views)

[AdrianL]

I just learned about plug-ins, and use "VRestore" to restore view (2D, 3D, IFC export etc) and assign a hotkey to this. (with Stream Deck)

Unfortunately, once I activate a view using this method, I still need to mouse click inside the viewport to activate it. Is there something I can add to the script, some additional key etc which allows me to skip this step?

If you make a Saved View of a Viewport in Edit Annotations mode, when you restore the view it will again be in Edit Annotations mode.

 

Does this do what you need? 

If not, what do you mean by "click inside the viewport to activate it"?

It would be helpful to see the script. You should not need to click in the document when running a plug-in menu command but you will need to click in the document if you have create a plug-in tool.
