Hi guys,

Let's share our MoI keyboard shortcuts. Maybe we can discover some new scripts, new commands and/or clever key bindings.

I'll start off with mine (copied from my Moi.ini configuration file)

Hi everyone,

Here's my current hotkeys.

P.S. I don't think that these hotkeys would be very helpful for anyone, because a certain number of hotkeys refer to my very personal customized Moi's UI
(thread http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=8122.1).

Anyway...that's it :

Have a nice day,

- Marco (mdkm)

Thanks Marco!

Very interesting to see this. Keyboard shortcuts reflect a lot of one's workflow.

I didn't know the Open Add new style dialog script yet. Going to use that too, thanks!

You are welcome Metin!

Hello Marco (mdkm),
What does Alt+F9=ToggleTransparentDisplayAutoSel do?

Hi Mindset,

I effect its name it's a little confusing.

Essentyally these scripts do these things :

1) ToggleTransparentDisplayAutoSel
Essentially this script toggles the DisplayMode of a (non hidden) GeomObject between two state : Normal or FaintWireframe.
If something is selected it works only on selected otherwise on all non hidden objects.
Now I have assigned it to F9 shortcut.

/* Toggle Transparence Display Mode AutoSel*/
var gd = moi.geometryDatabase;
var objs = gd.getSelectedObjects();
if (objs.length == 0) {
	objs = gd.getObjects();
}

for ( var i = 0; i < objs.length; ++i ) {
	var obj = objs.item(i);
	if (!obj.hidden) {
		var dm = obj.displayMode;
		obj.displayMode = (dm == 1) ? 0 : 1;
	}
}

Here's a brief video of F9 (the last showed by the video is ResetTransparentDisplay Alt+F9)

http://take.ms/kUv0C

2) ResetTransparentDisplay
This script resets the DisplayMode to Normal state for ALL objects (included hidden ones).
Now I have assigned it to Alt+F9 shortcut.

/* Reset Transparence Display Mode*/
var gd = moi.geometryDatabase;
var objs = gd.getObjects();
objs.setProperty("displayMode", 0);

So, I post here also my updated hotkeys.

Best,

- Marco (mkdm)

THANK YOU Marco!
Wow, what a great community.
I appreciate you very much!

Its always interesting to see how others work.....a bit like seeing a trip through someone elses camera!

James E

Thanks for sharing, James. The toggle grid display is an interesting one. I'm going to lend that from you, thanks.

Hi Metin,

Glad to be of help........always interersting to discuss others workflows!

Something else that I have done that improves work flow dramatically is to move the input box from the bottom left bar to the top right hand corner...please see attached image!

James E

Interesting! Never thought of that possibility before.

HI there

there are a few double ups as I get sloppy sometimes so I apologise in advance.

There is a screen shot of my setup , I have merged construct and transform so I don't have to switch between
Most commands I have a key for also

cheers
shayne

Hi shayno,

and good morning.

> Shift+L=script:var a = moi.command.lastCommandRevisionStart; var b = moi.command.lastCommandRevisionEnd; var objects = moi.geometryDatabase.getObjects(); for ( var i = 0; i < objects.length; ++i ) { var obj = objects.item(i); if ( obj.databaseRevision> a && obj.databaseRevision <= b ) obj.selected = true; }

Very useful script which I didn't know.

I just included it into my current config, thanks.

Best,

- Marco (mkdm)

Hi Marco, there's also a newer wrapper for that: moi.geometryDatabase.selectLastCreated(); , it can also take an optional parameter for whether to deselect other objects or not, the default is false, not deselect existing selection.

But that script you mentioned does the same thing manually, find objects that were created by the last run command and select them.

- Michael

Hi Michael,

and thanks for the tip.

I'm going to use it.

Have a nice day,

- Marco (mkdm)

Hi Michael,

I'm noticing that geometryDatabase.selectLastCreated(); as well as its manual counterpart, is very "sensible" to some situations.
That is, it does not select anymore last created objects if some situation occurs.

For example :

1) If I move the last created object
2) If I delete any object other than last created one
3) If I make a point editing on any object other than last created one

I didn't test different cases but I want to ask you if this behavior it's normal, and if so, what is the inner mechanism that produces this behavior.

Thanks.

- Marco (mkdm)

Hi Marco, well all those things you are describing are running new commands, so the result of your action there will now be the object generated by the last command instead.

For #1 or #3, moving an object or an edit point using Transform > Move uses the Move command, or moving it by dragging uses the internal Drag command. #2 deleting an object runs the delete command.

Basically anything that modifies the geometry database will be done through a command so that command pre- and post-processing will run and do things like generate undo units for any objects that are being removed or replaced by new versions, and have any UI for the command cleared, etc... It is possible to modify the geometry database outside of the context of running in a command but none of the regular actions you do in MoI will do it that way because you won't get undo units for example and there would be various cleanup steps the script would have to do manually on its own. That's the whole reason there is such a thing as a command instead of everything just running direct script code all the time.

I have some ideas on maybe changing this in the future to try something like generate undo units for scripts that modify the geometry database without running in a command by clustering modifications that happened within some tight time frame of each other into an individual unit, but I'm not sure yet how reliable that will be. It's much simpler to have one "command" generate one undo unit.

Sorry maybe I'm not understanding what you are asking about though.

Hi Michael,

> Sorry maybe I'm not understanding what you are asking about though.

You've made it abundantly clear.

I'm a software developer so I fully understand your explanations :)

Best,

- Marco (mkdm)

Hi Marco, the part that's a bit tricky is that there are just a few things that run as a command by calling an internal C function in moi_lib.dll rather than executing a script in the commands folder. If I remember right this is limited to drag, edit frame transform, scale on unit system change, drag/drop of a file onto the window, undo and redo.
