[FEEDBACK] Please include Tab key into Keyboar Rhino Options

[AlanMattano (Soaring Stars lab)]

Dear Awesome Rhino Developers behind a pile of TODO things. And with coronavirus probably working at home with little boys jumping over it,

I use often TAB key in other software to toggle between points on and off (Blender). Or fullscreen in Photoshop. So useful because it is a big button and very close to the left-hand position.

If possible, please includes the “Tab” key into Rhino 7 keyboard options.
Thanks

Agree, looks like it’s being targeted as SubD toggle in V7.
I am hoping this could be optional and we can configure the TAB to whatever it needs to be. On our end we will not be using SubD heavily so hard-coded TAB will not be very handy. In fact, it will get in the way of some in-house plugins we are currently using.

TAB key in V7

Hi Guys, is the TAB-key going to be hard-coded for SubD display toggle? Asking since we are using bunch of scripts that currently have TAB press coded as different functions and now in WIP it also results in the SubD display toggle. I am trying to figure out if there would be a way to temporarily disable TAB SubD switch for the scripts runtime, or better yet, have TAB fully customizable as Function keys, could be SubD switch as default toggle ? thanks, –jarek

Hi - I’ve added this to the open feature request (RH-3534) - “More definedable hotkey”.

From RH-55227, though, it sounds like that was evaluated and discarded for now, in favor of having the TAB key toggle SubD appearance in addition to the long-existing direction-locking behavior in a getpoint situation.
