I have a popup tool bar I use a lot. IT’s called “CNC Colors”
I had a keyboard shortcut for it setup in Rhino 7, which was simply:
-PopupToolbar “CNC Colors”
I imported the toolbar into Rhino 8. I put it in a container with the same name.
The keyboard shortcut now doesn’t work.
But when I right click after attempting the shortcut, thus repeating the command, the toolbar pops up like it was supposed to when I hit the keyboard shortcut.
Any advice on how to make it just work?
hi Max, I could not repeat that behavior here. I tried both with toolbars from the default as well as with a custom toolbar / rui
Which shortcut key are you using?
Pls also run _Systeminfo and post back the results.
I’m using ctrl-q which worked fine in rh7 (is there something about it normally being tied to “exit” that’s a problem? I get rid of hotkeys for “exit” to make sure I don’t exit with a typo when I’m tired)
The other weird thing is that when the toolbar does pop up, by repeating the command, the buttons in the toolbar don’t work. In Rhino 7 they work fine. All they do is change object colors to a bunch of pre-chosen high contrast colors. I use this to streamline RhinoCAM toolpath making.
The commands in the buttons look like this:
noecho
! _Select _Pause _Pause
-Properties O C O
254,254,254
Enter Enter
_SelNone

that’s odd,
I will dig into this more tomorrow, but so far I see that Ctrl and Ctrl+Shift + keys don’t work well
I get to see a flash of the toolbar at first, and then it pops up normally.
hmm, that I cannot repeat here.
thanks. I realize overhauling the whole toolbar/container system was likely to produce some glitches that took a while to catch. I did see another post about ctrl causing issues, but I didn’t fully understand it.
