Katerina Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Hello busy VectorWorks people again I wish . . . . . . The Esc key could have the option ( somehow ) to exit out of a group or symbol ( if tapped twice or something ) Quote Link to comment
0 Katerina Posted August 21, 2003 Author Share Posted August 21, 2003 must add that I already use the select command on the ecs key, so I couldn't do more than one command as of yet. if I created this wish with vector script I have to click somewhere in the drawing to activate command.

0 Kristen Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 You might already know this, but there's a keyboard shortcut already for exiting groups & symbols. On a mac it's Command + ]. I'm not sure what it is on a PC; probably Control + ]. Quote Link to comment

0 jan15 Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 On my computer, a function key - F7 - does that (exits from a group or symbol). It's a real time saver. Other function keys issue other commands that I use often, like Undo, Cut, Paste, Paste-in-Place, Group, Ungroup, Join, Rotate-Left-90, Add-Surface, Clip-Surface, Send-to-Front, Send-to-Back, and Fit-to-Window. Of course, not everyone uses Exit Group or those other commands most often. Each user has a different set of commands they use most often and would like to assign to single keystrokes. So what's really needed is a built-in custom keyboard-macro handler. Then we could each assign whatever commands we want to single keystrokes, instead of being forced to choose between time-consuming pull-down menus and painful Ctrl-key combinations.
