Full Version: Share your MoI keyboard shortcuts

Show messages:  1-16  17-36  37-56  57-76  77-78

Need a Keyboard Shortcut for the command "Area" to change the view rotate midpoint. This is the most important view function for me, it should works just with Ctrl+Shift.

---

Hi MPSchmied, you can set up a keyboard shortcut for Zoom Area by using this for the command part of the shortcut key:

script: var v = moi.ui.getActiveViewport(); if ( v ) v.interactiveViewChange('zoomarea');

That will trigger the area zoom on the viewport that the mouse is over.

But you can't set a shortcut just for ctrl+shift on their own, those are meant to be used as modifier keys that can be used in addition to another key.

This is great!

Even better than Ctrl+Shift and mouse area in Rhino, because here the zoom area can be precisely selected.

Hello.

Can we assign shortcut keys for ortho view that is work vice versa?

So if I press Ctrl+Numpad1, It will go to FULL FRONT VIEW (assume that I'm not in the Front View beforehand).
If it is already in Full Front View, then it will go to FULL BACK VIEW (the exact opposite of Front View) when I press the same shortcut.
Next, if I press the same shortcut key again, it will go to FRONT VIEW again. And so on.

This will also Works for RIGHT-LEFT and TOP-BOTTOM, with different shortcut key for each.

Hope I make myself clear in this, and please pardon my English.

Thank you very much in advance for any help.

:)

Hi Elang, there are some view setting shortcut key scripts listed here:
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=3808.2

Are any of those close to what you want?

- Michael

Hi Michael

I tried the script from your link. I expect that if i tap the hotkey, the view will be change to the opposite direction from the current one.
So if it is in Front View, then tapping the same key will bring it to the Back View. Tapping it again will bring me to the Front View. And so on.

The script is not doing that for now.

Thank you.

Hi Elang, try these ones:

Set Top/Bottom view:

script: /* Set Top/Bottom view */ var vname = 'Top'; var vp = moi.ui.mainWindow.viewpanel; if ( vp.mode.toLowerCase() != vname.toLowerCase() ) { vp.mode = vname; } else { vp.mode = vname; vp.reverseView( vname ); }

Set Front/Back view:

script: /* Set Front/Back view */ var vname = 'Front'; var vp = moi.ui.mainWindow.viewpanel; if ( vp.mode.toLowerCase() != vname.toLowerCase() ) { vp.mode = vname; } else { vp.mode = vname; vp.reverseView( vname ); }

Set Right/Left view:

script: /* Set Right/Left view */ var vname = 'Right'; var vp = moi.ui.mainWindow.viewpanel; if ( vp.mode.toLowerCase() != vname.toLowerCase() ) { vp.mode = vname; } else { vp.mode = vname; vp.reverseView( vname ); }

It works, Michael.

Thank you very much!

Hi All,

I have a quick question that I hope one of you can help with:

Using much of the fine information in this thread I have sorted out most of my shortcut key wishes, however, I can't seem to find out what the shortcut key is for editing the "size" (x,y,z size dialog box) of a selected object. I probably have missed it but would one of you know what it is?

Best regards & wishing you a pleasant day!

Jesper

Scale, Scale1D, Scale2D ;)

http://moi3d.com/4.0/docs/moi_command_reference11.htm#shortcutkeys

But for that you want exactly no need shortcut it's direct! :)

---

Hi Pilou,

& thanks for your feedback ;-) ... However, I am not sure we are thinking about the same - at least when I insert e.g. Shift+Q=Scale(1D, or 2D) into the Shortcut keys list something else than what I was intending seems to happen ..

Just to clarify: In the "properties panel" description in this link: http://moi3d.com/4.0/docs/moi_command_reference11.htm#shortcutkeys (approximately half way down the page) I would like #4, i.e. the "Edit Size" dialog to open up so that the "cursor" is immediately placed e.g. in the x-axis size dialog box. I hope this make sense ... ? BTW I use the MOI3D V3 version - maybe that makes a difference?

Cheers,

Jesper

Hi Jesper, see here for a script that you can put on a shortcut key for opening up the edit size menu:

Hi Michael,

& thanks for your prompt & helpful reply ;-)

However, when I try your script I get an error message saying that " Typeerror: Result of expression 'moi.ui.findElement' [undefined] is not a function. " ... I have attached a screendump of what the moi.ini looks like an the error message. Maybe I need to change something somewhere to make it work ... ?

Cheers, Jesper

Hi Jesper,

re:
> However, when I try your script I get an error message saying that " Typeerror: Result
> of expression 'moi.ui.findElement' [undefined] is not a function. "

The script uses some infrastructure that was added in MoI version 4, but you're using MoI version 3, so that's the problem.

Try this instead, it should work ok in v3:

script: /* Show edit size menu */ moi.ui.showMenu( 'EditSizeMenu.htm', moi.ui.sidePane.PropSizeContainer, 0, 0 );

- Michael

---

Hi Michael,

Thanks again for helping out with this - I have copied the script to my .ini list and it works fine! ... Much appreciated ;-)

Jesper

This topic saved my life..
Now I works too fast, thanks to all!

Recently reinstalled MoI after moving back to a Mac, and revised my keyboard shortcuts, with an emphasis on interoperability with Blender.

Here's my new list of keyboard shortcuts for commands and scripts. Some commands require a plugin or script to run. A search on this forum usually suffices to find the plugin or script.

You can copy the list (or parts of it) into your MoI.ini text file, under the [Shortcut Keys] section.
Keep in mind that I'm using a Mac keyboard, which has some differences with a Windows / Linux PC keyboard. For example, a Mac keyboard includes a Command key.
If you've switched between PC and Mac, like I did, your MoI.ini file might have two Shortcut Keys sections: [Shortcut Keys] and [Shortcut Keys Mac]. This can be confusing, so if you're currently using a PC, I'd advise to remove the [Shortcut Keys Mac] section, and if you're using a Mac, remove the [Shortcut Keys] section.

In case there are better / newer commands or scripts that could replace entries from my list, I would much appreciate it if you'd let me know, thanks in advance…

@ Metin Some useful for fan or Mac, Pc, Blender!

Personnaly i have only 5 shortcuts ...for make Subdivision inside Moi! :)
More is out of the possibility of my own old memory!
K : _subdiv_beta9
B : _sbridge
E : Extrude
P : _ssplit
S : _sscale

---

Nice, Pilou! I need to explore subdivision modeling MoI as well. Am used to it in polygon-based editors like Blender, but forget it's also possible in MoI.

---

Sure it's so more rustic than Blender...but...
So don't miss this thread! ;)
