Hi All,

Pleased to attach v1 (.21) of 'Command Palette' .

I really like this script when assigned to the 'accent-key' directly above tab and below escape...
as i find it then totally complements my workflow and works with moi not against it,




You can assign then open the script from any shortcut key. Once opened simply type straightaway.
Partial or fuzzy searching allowed. Press enter to run. Also, up/down keys work nicely. Hit escape twice to exit..

No need to remember all those more obscure shortcuts with this or call up long
script or command names in full. You can type shorthand or remember things like 'boo-lean or rude, extrude,
fi-llet.








many thanks to Michael for sorting out the loop to get the search box nice and responsive..

This tool originally started in autohotkeys, but i wanted it a lot more responsive or moi-integrated


All / any feedback is welcome.

-------------------------------
Edit
#1 uploaded slightly tweaked version works ok with dark theme ref - Phiro
#2. Resources:
Install scripts
Assign shortcut keys via options/shortcuts
#3 Zip file now includes script js + htm and base64 icon for anyone using max's customui.

Very nice.

A problem for me.
The highlighted line is quasi white on white with dark theme.

The color is hardcoded


.cp_btn_selected {
font-weight: bold;
background-color: #d9e8ff;
}

Hi Phiro, as I work in 'grey' defacto theme - i did not test that, i can likely try fix that (see below for interim to test - replace the entire block
you gave with this below,

code:

.cp_btn_selected {
	font-weight: bold;
	background-color: #2f6fad;
	color: #ffffff;
}

cheers Stefano

EDIT: my first post has now had command palette.txt updated with the code above / darkmode friendlier
https://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=12014.1

If you use Max's Custom UI
I attach my icon that should work, simply put in the startup commands folder.
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Moi\startup

Rename: 85 Command Palette.txt to .js

looks ok in dark mode ⚡, might do a line art version - another day.

This is nice..
maybe an idea here

In Nvil3d you have the tool search option as well and you can assign it to a letter or number which is displayed on your screen right side...
a single one can have more than one command and can be quickly added or removed.

Dont have to try to remember the shortcuts.

Hi Matedem, noted and thanks a lot for the feedback - appreciated.

Are you sort of person who prefers to work by association eg.
C-key for curve tools, that goes through all those tools one by one?
or L might give you line tools and all scripts related to "lines".
or S might give you every single filesave type...

That's another idea maybe worth exploring as is ways you can alias
or rename scripts...(effectively grouping them as you may prefer).

Cheers

Stefano

I do not use allot of shortcuts probably 6 on a regular basis. but have a few installed specific to my case.
the problem I have and seems its going to be resolved...when I need a script...I do not know if I have it installed already or not and I am wasting time
looking at my shortcut list trying to find it.

so I think if you have the search option you could basically install all the available Moi3d scripts (maybe download all as a package instead of one by one).

Me personally keep it as simple as possible.
In Nvil3d an example ... you highlight a plane/mesh section...go to the letter C I had setup on the screen and this will circulate the selection.....but this does not mean that the shortcut is assigned to the letter C on the keyboard.
there are other way to setup streamlines tools/shortcuts but the current setup works good enough and I did not want to complicate things.

so you have more space to setup your used commands.
to me this is a very nice setup and you can setup shortcuts from the tool search.
I always wished something similar in Moi.

Tnx!

Hello, why is it like this?

@ stefano - it looks like the .htm file is there accidentally twice, CommandPalette.htm and then same file again under CommandPalette.txt .

For forum attachments it should be ok to post files with .js file extension, it isn't sensitive to having .js files like e-mail attachments tend to be.

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
