Full Version: Command Palette ⚡ Keygroups (new)

Show messages:  1-9  10-28

好的，我习惯性的将txt后缀改为.js然后按常规方法安装脚本。现在我将其中一份删除了，请问该如何安装并使用呢？（Okay, I habitually change the .txt suffix to .js and then install the script using the conventional method. Now I have deleted one of them. How can I install and use it?）

---

Hi SUIYAN, the same file was accidentally uploaded twice.

CommandPalette.txt which should have the .js content is instead another copy of CommandPalette.htm .

You won't be able to set it up until Stefano fixes it.

hi matedem. shortlisted is looking at aliases and preset groups which i think can do exactly what you want.

But this stuff needs to be held back a bit, mainly as im learning a bit about moi3d powerful 'json' or "key: values"
in user data area before I get closer to another round of changes...

All this means we might soon be able to give you something flexible...likely be V2.
I do this in my 'spare time' - and likewise i've deliberately asked for feedback like
yours as it might help me know where (or where not) to concentrate further tweaks.

If anything else comes to mind, plz keep posting!

Cheers

Stefano

thanks michael and sorry to all...will post .js in future. For now to avoid any confusion i will update the original post
with a .zip file and it will include the 'icon' if anyone needs it for max's custom ui.

---

hi suiyan, .zip file is now in the original post and hopefully works.... cheers stefano

---

Wow that's a very useful tool !

Thanks

---

Cheers for the feedback Marc, hope it comes in useful at times...

Following a key moment of inspiration, the Command Palette has been updated.


The big addition is Key Groups, where the llama group button creates and activates custom tool panels..




Command Palette 1.45 with KeyGroups

Key Groups are user-defined tool sets for creating custom command panels. They can contain commands, launch scripts, support workflow-specific tool sets, and be triggered directly by MoI shortcut keys.

The new Group button creates, edits, and accesses Key Groups using a toggle mode.


Left-click: create/edit Key Groups (Function 1)
Right-click: switch between Command Palette and Key Groups (Function 2)

To create or edit a Key Group simply left-click the Group button, enter its name,
then press <Enter>. to build or modify.

Using an existing name edits that Key Group; a new name creates one.

Names can be a letter, word, phrase, or abbreviation.

Example Keygroup names, might be:

>My Top Scripts
>Smirnov Top 5
>Drawing Tools
> "F" for file menu and save tools
>Dimension Kit

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preview:





Command line / shortcut syntax:

commandpalette
Opens the standard Command Palette.

commandpalette keys
Opens directly in Key Groups mode.
Not often used as tool remembers last toggle state now

commandpalette <yourkeygroupname> (no spaces)

Assign keygroup: My Top Scripts to a Moi3D Shortcut (options>shortcuts)


Key zero opens that specific Key Group page called "My Top Scripts"


OTHER:
A pinned Key Group can be set as your favourite, becomes the default group when Key Groups are activated.
A pinned Key Group is also used for an experimental Export feature*.

Advanced / Experimental
All your KeyGroups are auto-stored in a single text JSON file:

`%AppData%\Moi\CommandPalette.KeyGroups.txt`

! Please take care when naming Key Groups. Rename and delete functions are not yet available, although Key Group names can be edited manually in the CommandPalette.KeyGroups.txt file. .

*
>KeyGroup Export
Shift-left-click Group button to export the active pinned Key Group as a small shareable text file. (Function 3)
Filename example:
CommandPalette.KeyGroup.mytopscripts.20260502-1749.txt
in location: `%AppData%\Moi\

>KeyGroup Import Ready (Function 4)
Shift-right-click Group button checks for a future `CommandPaletteImport` / `CommandPaletteTools` command.
Not available at moment, shows a "Llama" message.


Summary v1.45

• New Key Groups.
• Toggle between Command Palette and Key Groups.
• Create user-defined Key Group panels.
• Build custom command panels for frequently used tools and workflows.
• Pin your favourite Key Group for quick access.
• Remembers the last active mode.

• Direct launch of Key Groups from MoI shortcuts.
• Export pinned Key Groups as shareable JSON text files.

Hope you enjoy...as much as i did building it for all you inspirational people...

just installed this...a great time saver!

question how would one deal setup with a script like this?

K script:moi.geometryDatabase.getObjects().getConstructionLines().setProperty( "isTemporary", false );

---

thanks for your feedback Matedem,

when you say set up that script, i think maybe you copy it all into a notepad text file
save it a name you like "ConstructionLines.js" or "MyCLines.js"

Put it in the commands folder.

Use the Command Palette to find it or add it to a keygroup.

is that what you mean?

---

Yes exactly.

One more thing
I have a shortcut
shift+b Boundingboxcenterindividual

but if I search I do not find it.
If i search ...bounding
I get
Boundingbox
Boundingboxcenter

If I search individual I get
Scaleindividual

but not
Boundingboxcenterindividual


Tnx!

---

check if that command (as a .js script) is here:

C:\Users\<yourusername>\AppData\Roaming\Moi\commands (windows)
or
C:\Program Files\MoI 5.0 beta Apr-27-2026\commands (windows)

maybe get it here:
https://moi3d.com/forum/lmessages.php?webtag=MOI&msg=10065.2

and put it into your app data commands folder...
command palette will see it then...

or FIRST:
if it already working for you from a shortcut, then 99% sure
you might have it already. So search your computer drive first
for the filename, then move it to the apps command folder ;o)

Bleemin' windows?




V1.5 New Features:
modals & more...



First, my MOI3D Shortcut:




Now here's the new:

1. RMB toggle:
A right mouse click toggle, works almost everywhere over the panels,
allows very quick switching from Commands to Keygroups.




2. New Modal feature

Launch your keygroup panels from moi shortcuts as floating windows.
Use command line or create MOI3d key shortcuts, like:

commandpalette modal
commandpalette keys modal
commandpalette <yourkeygroupname> modal





3. "Pop to Modal"

If opening the command palette or a keygroup into MOI3D UI area
a small pop out icon is top right, click it and you will get
a modal version of it from there.



Modal keygroup panels can of course be resized or do auto-size
when very long >9 buttons. Takeaway: Big 'tool lists' are better
in modals, but we are kind to design, less is usually more.

Try call your big keysgroup panels up with:
commandpalette <yourkeygroupname> modal

4. Four-function MAX ɯooɹpɐǝɥ Custom UI ICON
My Command Palette Lightning-Bolt Icon, has these functions:

Left Click = Command Palette
Right Click = Command Palette Keys
Control + Left Click = Command Palette Modal
Contol + Right Click = Command Keys Modal







Other:
Try using arrow keys sometimes, its fast.
Keygroups: <>
Command Palette: up down.

In this round of 'dev' I simplified panel names. Tested autosized modals for compactness
but in the end made them fixed height modals because this allows "prev-next" buttons in modal keygroup panes to not resize
or jump around (unless you have built a very large panel)....

Few more images...




Hope you enjoy, no more revisions for a bit now...

New users or new to command palette, advised to read from post#1

HI,In moi v3 and v4, the popout button pop-up window is blank（在moi v3，v4中 popout按钮弹窗是空白的。）

Hi Suiyan, thanks for your feedback, I just tested on my V4
and I currently use windows...

Takeaway: Will fix it if i can of course, right now
not sure what could be the issue now - see edit

Cheers

Stefano

EDIT
V4 - Works for me but i have only done this one test so far..

Are you using MAC or Windows might be my first question...

优秀，在v4中popout弹出成功了，原因是之前我把脚本文件放在了Program Files\MoI 4.0\commands而不是\AppData，那么这个问题在v3中有解决的办法吗？我的伙伴仍将V3作为主要版本使用，而v3没有\AppData路径吧？谢谢，非常优秀的脚本。（Excellent, popout worked in v4. The reason is that I had previously placed the script file in Program Files\MoI 4.0\commands instead of \AppData. Is there a solution for this issue in v3? My partner still uses V3 as the main version, and v3 doesn't have a \AppData path, right? Thank you, this is an excellent script.）

---

Hi Suiyan, Thanks for the feedback and glad you got something working.
I also have V3 and saw nothing worked there...I can maybe find out if its viable
to make it work there but so far i did all my testing in V5.

I have some other plans that will maybe want to use V5 new feature-set
but ok - let's see whats possible...and keep this as "open ticket" for now.

Cheers again Stefano

edit:
currently you can get a buggy version of CP1.5
in V3 put the two files commandpalette.js and
commandpalette.htm

in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\MoI 3.0\commands

Modals do not work but a partially working
panels keygroups and command palette
works in the MOI UI area...
