Keyboard shortcut

[loicseg]

Hi there,
I'd like to know if it's possible, and how if it's is, to add to keyboard shortcut to a user plugin in the api.x64 path

Thanks in advance

Hi Loic,
I found this topic explaining how to bind the APIx64 folder to function keys : #146

For the non french speakers, the command is "Tools/ExternalProgram" :

Yes, indeed but my wish was to know if it was possible to use any touch like "A" for instance and launch a specific script.
Here you get a list of all the script and then you have to click or type the first letter on the keyboard then press "enter"...
see what I mean, it's pretty useless, click the button script is faster in this case...

You can not bind a script to a shortcut.

Only possibilities are

modifier = cadwork.shortcut_key_modifier.ctrl
key = cadwork.shortcut_key.F1

uc.execute_shortcut(modifier, key)

What is your use case ? When do you need to run that script ? What interval ?
Have you checked out https://docs.cadwork.com/projects/cwapi3dpython/en/latest/auto_attributes/

In fact that's a script that is used with a button not "auto-attribute" : it creates "mortise tenon" between two panels,
you select two panel and automatically create and cut part, the idea would be to select them then shorcut this "function"
do you understand ?

Yes, i understand. Unfortunately, this is not possible.
