In the latest RhinoWIP, we have fixed a bug that caused some of the default Grasshopper keyboard shortcuts to override some critical macOS keyboard shortcuts (think Command+Q).
Most of the keyboard shortcuts remain the same, but a few have changed. Here is a list of the changes with the new shortcuts in bold on the right:
| Shortcut | Windows | Mac (Old) | Mac (New) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Preview toggle | Ctrl+Q | ⌘Q | ⌘` |
| Mesh Edge display toggle | Ctrl+M | ⌘M | ⌘4 |
| Document cycling | Ctrl+Tab | did not work | ⌘0 |
| Preferences | Ctrl+Shift+P | ⇧⌘P | ⌘, |
| Redo | Ctrl+Y | ⌘Y | ⇧⌘Z |
| Find | F3 | F3 | ⌘F |
| Recompute | F5 | F5 or ` | ⌘R |
| Send to back | Ctrl+B | ⌘B | ⇧⌘B |
| Bring to front | Ctrl+F | ⌘F | ⇧⌘F |
| Move backwards | Ctrl+Shift+B | ⇧⌘B | ⌥⇧⌘B |
| Move forwards | Ctrl+Shift+F | ⇧⌘F | ⌥⇧⌘F |
| Bake selected | Insert | did not work | ⌘B |
| Show Radial menu | Ctrl+Space | ⌘click or ⌥space | ⌥space |
| Export Quick Image | Ctrl+Shift+Q | did not work | ⌘I |
| Deselected selected component | Ctrl+Click | did not work | ⌘click |
KEY
- Command (or Cmd) ⌘
- Shift ⇧
- Option (or Alt) ⌥
- Control (or Ctrl) ⌃
- Function or Fn
Wait! Why are these not working?
If you have already run Grasshopper in the RhinoWIP, Grasshopper remembers this. We have not (yet) overwritten the your previously saved shortcuts (just in case you’ve already modified them).
To get the new shortcuts:
-
In Rhino, run the
GrasshopperFolderscommand. -
Select the Settings option. A new Finder window opens.
-
Find the grasshopper_menushortcuts.xml file and drag it to the Trash (or elsewhere).
-
Quit and restart Rhino and start Grasshopper
The new keyboard shortcuts should now work.
