CamBam Shorcut Keys

[EddyCurrent]

Just an update of shortcut keys ( hot keys), please add additional ones if you know any, thanks.
I was thinking this would be useful for plugin writers so as not to clash with existing ones.

Hi Eddy
Thanks for the effort, If I can think of any more I'll add them.

Hello Eddy

In regular CB shortkey, space is missing (toggle activate/desactivate)

for plugins

CTRL SHIFT U -> select unused objects
CTRL SHIFT I -> invert selection
CTRL SHIFT T -> select by object type OR texturize plugin
CTRL SHIFT P -> flatten polyline
CTRL SHIFT M -> nummove

ALT C -> centroid
ALT P -> polygon
CTRL ALT P ->polygon settings

There is a duplicate shortcut for CTRL SHIFT T that is also used by texturize plugin

I'll free at least 2 shortcuts for the dimarrow plugin as soon as I add a toolbar (or a tool window)

I don't have ALL plugins installed, maybe some shortcut are still missing

There is a second collision between   Ctrl+I -Convert to Region and the InvertSelected.dll.

Edit: Thank you for the new version David, I found them between.

Most windows programs have the "customize" option where the user can assign own key combinations to menu items. And this is the best solution IMHO.
For example I have customized the CorelDraw workspace with my shortcuts which are easy to enter with one hand.

Fly,
I know that option exists, and I use it, also.  But I have a problem with using that technique that has to do with our documentation.

Eventually, we will get the API documented enough to be useful to all comers.  At the same time, we should be reviewing scripts and plugins for key usage, and adjusting them to fit one-another.

Yes!  Another labor-intensive task!  But "clean" is a prerequisite for "reliable".

I believe we should strive to collectively remove the conflicts for shortcuts, wherever they exist.

(And yes, I understand that some useful scripts were written by users no longer here, and for which we do not have the source.  That's an inconvenience, to be sure.)

I'd seriously like a "Place a Tab" shortcut key.

"MeasureXYZ" plugin.

Added shortcut keys, SHIFT+M
