Got a Mac. Have a full size Mac keyboard as is necessary.
I'd like to set up some shortcut keys as renderworks styles so I can quickly preview in the design layer. Obvious thought was to use Modifier + Numpad Number. Doesn't seem possible?
Stock keyboard shortcuts:
Regular 2 = Line tool
Num-pad 2 = Front
Command+regular 2 = orthogonal
Command+Numpad 1 = orthogonal
While the numpad without modifier is it's own shortcut, any modifier key used with a numb-pad key isn't treated as unique. So you can't reassign Command+Numpad 5 to be your own shortcut.
So in this example, if I try to assign Command+Numpad 5 to "Custom Renderworks" it says there's a conflict with the 2D plan shortcut. Hmm. Stranger still, if I go to find that shortcut to reassign it, here's what I get:
So maybe I should try using a different modifier, like fN for example. Oh there's no way to add additional options for modifier keys. So that won't work.
So maybe I should try to use unassigned function keys, like F16 for example. Vectorworks doesn't even recognize when I press it. Or if I press FN+F16.
woo boy found a thread about in 2008 with some unfortunate news from Pat
Guess I gotta go the extra mile and press an additional modifier key lol

Unless it's changed in 13 years?
