addy Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 HI All Can anybody help me with adding a shortcut to the Interactive scaling tool. If there is an existing short cut, what is is ? Im using VW 12 on a MAC Thanks Quote Link to comment
Ken Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 By default, 12 seems to have left out the Zoom Out Tool and its corresponding keyboard shortcut of V (where C is still good for Zoom in). Or vice versa I forget. Adding it back using Workspace Editor was one of the first things I did. Do you also know about the U key to toggle the mode for each tool? Upon each VW launch, I always set Zoom-Out to be Interactive (pressing V, then U) while I'm wiggling my tush to get more comfortable in my chair. (Zoom-in stays Marquee, and the two becomes immensely more useful) I've been asking for a Vectorscript procedure to control the Mode buttons for the longest time. Are the VS developers reading this?

dunsterville Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Zooming is simple with a scroll-wheel, give it a go . . . I bought the cheapest and most basic 2-button mouse with a scroll-wheel recently, it works flawlessly on my old PowerBook (with no tedious 'Wizard' set-up either). Don't worry about the so-called 'integrity and simplicity' of Macs . . . if Apple co-founder Woz, can admit he might have been wrong to go with just one button on the mouse -he was into the Bauhaus ethos at the time- I'm certain it'll be OK.

addy Posted July 1, 2006 Author Share Posted July 1, 2006 U is the key i was looking for thanks. I have loooked in the work space editor but i can not find where to change the default keyboard shortcut from U. What is the tool called or what menue is under i am stumped..... Quote Link to comment
propstuff Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 It's in the Misc Keys section of the W/S Editor. Note that the U key toggles through the first mode group options for all tools. I,O,&P do likewise for the 2nd,3rd etc mode group options. If you want to change the shortcut it would probably be a good idea to leave them all together in a "set" like they are.
