Hi Will, I've now updated that shortcuts info page (http://moi3d.com/wiki/Shortcut_Keys) with the new stuff.

The new info added:

------------------------------


Shortcuts related to Styles for v2:

On a scene browser color swatch, Ctrl+Left click will pop up the color picker as a quick way to edit a style's color.

On a scene browser color swatch, Ctrl+Shift+Left click will assign the selection to that style without altering the visibility or locked state of the objects to match the current style.

On a style color swatch (either in the scene browser or in the dropdown from the properties panel), holding down Shift while clicking on the swatch will assign the style to the parent object without modifying any sub-objects. The parent style is used when brand new faces are created in a solid for things like the Fillet command, when the new fillet surface is bordered by multiple different styles.

In the Edit styles dialog, right-clicking on a style works as a shortcut for selecting it and pushing the "Edit" button.

On the properties panel, right-clicking on the style line will pop up the Edit style dialog and let you edit the name and/or color of that style.


Other scene browser shortcuts:

Ctrl+click on a browser item's status icon (where the eye icon is normally displayed) will toggle Lock on or off.

Clicking on the name part of a scene browser item is used for selection, if you hold down Ctrl while clicking on it it will work for deselection instead of selection, and if you hold down Shift while clicking on it it will only select currently visible objects instead of selecting and showing all objects that belong to that slot.

Hi Michael,

>>In the first beta release with styles it did not change the visibility,
>>but in a discussion here on the forum someone complained about that behavior

ok. I must have missed that message. And your explanation about changing that behaviour to be more predictable is rational and clear.

Hi Petr,

> ok. I must have missed that message.

It was back in this discussion thread:
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=2619.11

That feedback from Pitrak made me aware that someone who was really used to layers would expect to have the visibility of the object altered when it got assigned to a "hidden layer".

It has been a goal to try and make the Styles section of the browser feel at least somewhat familiar to people who are used to traditional AutoCAD-ish layers.

It's kind of a balance though - by not just doing an exact clone of layers it lets things have a lot more flexibility since there can multiple sections of organization methods used in the scene browser. With traditional layers it is not very easy to have things like a named object list with independent visibility control from the layers, because with traditional layers you can't just turn on one object all by itself without also turning on its whole layer.
