They don’t require you to hold a single key. No problem to utilize all possible commands types:
Holding a key for more than a set amount of time in milliseconds (typically 250-300 ms) OR taping it once and not doing anything else in the following moment (typically 250-300 ms) activates a quick alias, no matter of there is an active command or not.
Typing one or more letters activates a regular alias (outside an active command).
Typing the first letter of a possible Command line option during an active command, followed by Enter or RMB click, activates the corresponding option.
@Trav did you manage to identify the issue as to why OptionsImport freezes Rhino and never resolves loading the options?
E: I’ve let Rhino process OptionsImport from a R9 (WIP) Export to R9 (WIP) for close to an hour now, to no avail. Importing from R8 is near instant.
I sure did, thanks for the files I could easily repeat the issue. RH-83873 I’ve got a ticket going and we’ll get the aliases importing working with the new changes.
@Trav here is a vid to help you reproduce the issue in (9.0.24261.12305, 2024-09-1) :
Notice that the Instant Alias for Join now seizes to work:
Also, please add the option to check all Aliases to be instant. Since the majority of my Aliases can be converted to be instant, this saves me 200 or so clicks.
You can use OptionsExport in Rhino 8 and OptionsImport in the WIP, to import your aliases. The only thing that isn’t working is OptionsImport of a WIP OptionsExport. Note that the Alias Import and Export functions in the options menu appear to be removed.
