Quick question: I would like to start to know the keyboard shortcuts for several of the functions I often use. Now I could google it every time to find it out. but I was wondering if there was no option to see the shortcut (maybe in the bottom of your window or something) when you activate a function through the gui or by typing a command. Is there something like this? Like the help command that always shows the ‘help documentation’ for the function you’re currently using.
*Edit: I meant the keyboard short cuts (like join = ctrl+J)
I had assumed that such a question would come from someone who has not dug too deeply into Rhino options, then a Rhino Help page on Default Shortcuts would probably help.
That works of course, however it’s a bit cumbersome that you always have to browse towards it when you want to look something up. Take for example pycharm: In their menus they show the shortcuts. This is very handy to quickly learn them. It’s not a big deal but it is something useful. But if it doesn’t exist in rhino, then this is the end of this question I guess. Thanks anyway!
Just thinking out loud here…
From a development and localization point of view, this might be a tremendous amount of work for marginal benefit. Most users that setup keyboard shortcuts and aliases, will likely remember the customization they created.
Rhino is localized to 9 different languages.
This could get pretty ugly pretty fast.
Also, the pull-down menus are not easily edited by non-developers.
Why would it be language dependent? ctrl+J is ctrl+J in french, english, spanish and dutch…
The customization they created… What if you don’t customize it? I mostly use the default shortcuts as most developers spent a lot more time thinking what would be good shortcut combinations then I did. No idea how many people use the default shortcuts though.
