Okay, I officially love you guys now. I'm looking forward to getting home to trying this one out... but I'm wondering, can keys for masks and other controls like them (using Shift-Alt right click, etc) be remapped to something simpler?

[Svengali]

HotKeys! Hot Script! - Hot Dang! Way to go Marcus!

Okay, I officially love you guys now. I'm looking forward to getting home to trying this one out... but I'm wondering, can keys for masks and other controls like them (using Shift-Alt right click, etc) be remapped to something simpler?There are some hotkeys that can not be altered. These include navigation keys and CTRL+Shift combinations for hiding and showing parts of a mesh. The Hotkey Editor will tell you which keys these are.

marcus - very very awesome editor. however it seems that changing the hotkeys for your drawshift, focal shift, and int shift scripts under ZPlugin, break the scripts and cause them to no longer work. At least for me any how

[SolidSnakexxx]

Nifty tool and gonna be very convenient :) :tu: :tu:

[marcus_civis]

Thanks for the comments, I hope you find the Editor useful :)

--E--,
Yes, when I wrote those plugins I didn't allow for changing the hotkeys. :o
I've posted an update which will allow you to change the hotkeys to what you want : Draw Size/ Focal Shift/ Z Intensity Sweep update (http://www.zbrushcentral.com/zbc/showthread.php?p=299577#post299577). Note that any new hotkeys you assign will only be available after re-starting ZBrush.

Cheers,

[bicc39]

how about instead of zbrush, we call it marcusbrush.

Thank you.

[Sergio Santos]

One of the things that I really missed!

Thanks!

[Reactor]

There are some hotkeys that can not be altered.

Aww, that's a shame. I'll have to hope that gets sorted out in a future version, because altering all of Zbrush's keys would be very helpful. Still, I sure appreciate being able to edit anything!

[N8]

now you will see the power of zbrush interface! hotkeys hot damn!\

[Dezz]

very nice!
some essentials hotkeys were not usable by default (shift+I for brush intensity for example), I've always wished I could edit those.
thanks a lot for this free plugin

[virtuousart]

Just when I thought the zbrush process couldnt get any faster.... Much appreciated!

[ryankingslien]

One of the cool things about the Hotkey Editor is that it allows me to create my own hotkeys that can put several actions into one press of the keyboard. :)

For example, Right now if I want to put a model in edit mode I do the following steps:

I drop out of Edit for the current tool
Clear the canvas if anything is on it
Draw it on the canvas
Go into Edit mode
and scale it to the size of the canvas
If I know those are my steps I can write a zscript to do them for me. I use the zscript to place a button in the interface with all those steps in it and then use the Hotkey Editor to assign a hotkey to it. :)

Below are the zscript commands for the steps I outlined above:



[IUnPress,Transform: Edit]
[IPress, Layer:Clear]
[CanvasClick,320,240,320,340]
[IPress,Transform: Edit]
[IClick,Transform:Move Edit]


Now, I just package those steps into a Routine that I can call from a button:



[RoutineDef, AutoDraw,

[IUnPress,Transform: Edit]
[IPress, Layer:Clear]
[CanvasClick,320,240,320,340]
[IPress,Transform: Edit]
[IClick,Transform:Move Edit]
]

Now I create the button:



[IButton,
Zplugin:Misc Utilities:AutoDraw,
"Automatically draws your model on the screen and places it in edit mode.",
[RoutineCall,AutoDraw]
,0
]


The final text file looks like this:



[RoutineDef,AutoDraw,
[IFreeze,
[IUnPress,Transform: Edit]
[IPress, Layer:Clear]
[CanvasClick,320,240,320,340]
[IPress,Transform: Edit]
[IClick,Transform:Move Edit]
]
]
[IButton,
Zplugin:Misc Utilities:AutoDraw,
"Automatically draws your model on the screen and places it in edit mode.",
[RoutineCall,AutoDraw]
,0
]


Once I have the button in the interface I can use the custom tab of the Hotkey Editor to map them to any key I want. In my case I mapped it to the F key. So now anytime I want to draw a model on the canvas I just press F!

Remember to learn more about ZScripting use the command reference here (http://pixologic.com/home/z2coderef.html)and the developer corner of the wiki here (http://www.zbrush.info/).

Have a great weekend. :)

[pao008]

Thanks! :) this will speed up our workflow

[marcus_civis]

For anyone wanting to have a hotkey for a series of actions my ZPlugMaker (http://www.zbrushcentral.com/zbc/showthread.php?t=29561) makes it easy. You simply record a zscript of the actions, load the recording into ZPlugMaker and it will create a plugin button for you. You can assign a hotkey within ZPlugMaker or afterwards using the Hotkey Editor.

[kestas]

anyone tried to map some hotkeys on navigation keys ?
i tired to do it via custom menu but once i press the hotkey **boom** zbrush crashes

[zady]

Now this I can get used to now :D

The ultimate Custom zbrush .... How sweet can it get

[marcus_civis]

Yes, you can't use a Custom hotkey on the navigation buttons - they don't work like an ordinary button as you have to click and drag on the button (rather than simply pressing). I should have excluded them from the Custom hotkey set up and will do so when the editor is updated.

[Anatom]

:D Thanks so much dear Marcus.

I found out 8 conflicts, but your plugin helped me to correct them.
A marvelous addition to the program.
Now enjoying newer keys.
What are there yet in your plans?
Lookin forward,

Anatom

this is what i get after installing and clicking hotkey editor button. any help plz?

[wckedsunny]

Man now this is something very intrinsic :)


Thanks Ryan :tu:

and I almost forgot marcus ;)

[Moochie]

Thanks Marcus .. very cool and useful plug! I think it may be necessary to introduce a little convention that those producing tutorials, modeling ZScripts or, in the (hopefully not too distant) future ZBroadcasts, only use default settings, or it's going to get very confusing. I presume one can store personalised settings as a separate text file, so reverting from default to personalised settings will be a snap?

[marcus_civis]

abraXas,
It looks as though you have not installed the plugin correctly. You need to make sure when you unzip the zip file that the folder and contents are preserved (some unzip utilities do not do this automatically).

The installation of the Hotkey Editor should look like this:

C:\Program Files\Pixologic\ZBrush2\ZStartup\ZPlugs

containing:

HotKeyEditor_verA.zsc (the plugin file)
Hotkey_Data (subfolder)

Contents of the Hotkey_Data subfolder:
Ibutton.psd
Rbutton.psd
UI.psd
Xbutton.psd
Zlogo.psd
Zkeyboard.dll
Zkeyboard.lib
endhtml.dat
html.dat
tables.dat
Zlogo.jpg
ign_data.zvr
ign_dataclear.zvr
cursor.zmv

HTH,

Moochie,
Personal hoteky set-ups don't affect zscript recordings. (Neither do plugins, by and large). So this shouldn't be a problem.

Cheers,

[crossbones]

For some reason when I extract the plugin to the correct folder, it doesn't want to install or show up in the zplugins menu. If I manually add the plugin and chose save all it crashes when trying to save out the pref file.

[Lucky_1]

Crossbones,
I had the same problem... I guess you left the files into the subdir ZStartup/ZPLugs/HotKeyEditor_verA.The solution was to place HotKeyEditor_verA.zsc and the Hotkey_Data folder into the root of the ZPlugs dir.

Goo luck

crossbones,
Make sure that you have the plugin installed in the

C:\Program Files\Pixologic\ZBrush2\ZStartup\ZPlugs folder

with the subfolder and contents as above. If this is the first time you've installed a plugin you will probably have to create the ZPlugs folder (as it's not created during ZBrush installation). Whatever you do, you must not put the plugin (or anything else) in the ZData\ZPlugs folder.

If you still have problems let me know.

As mentioned earlier in the thread, these keys can not be altered as they are hard coded into ZBrush. :)

wow cool! the way zbrush is going it may be the main way i illustrate.


build it and they will come.

And About time too:)

Marcus you're a star!!!

[cyfer]

i think this will seam rude , but i totally think it is usefull

having custom presets for MAX ,Maya , XSI
would be the ultimate ....

i'm sure its not only me who gets tired from the different uses of the same keys between diff. programs .

when i say this i by no means lessens your efforts MARCUS

you did a wonderful job , no dought

[Zmith[21]]

hey :) ,

very coooool_iwant a hotkey for pitching_

"i'm sure its not only me who gets tired from the different uses of the same keys between diff. programs"

well, i think that the difference between hotkeys in programs is
a good thing_it sometimes takes 5 mins to get into the flow...

i dont want max hotkeys in zbrush or photoshop...
i dont want my mixer to have a steering wheel:>

[feureau]

Hooray! Finally, a loooooong belated I expect from a high end (imho) software like zbrush!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!

Now, if I can only get max and blender to use maya's hotkey. (hey, XSI did it!!)

It's not nice to have a mixer in place of a steering wheel.:P

[Moka]

:tu: :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu:

I have just a problem :(
I can't print the Hotkeys....... it's write " Hotkey list will now open on your web browser" and that does append anithing :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

WHYYYYYYYYYYY !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway-----the plug-in is great, thak you for that. :)

[marcus_civis]

Moka,

If you have the ZBrush window maximized then it's possible the browser window is hidden behind it. If that's not the case then you can open the html file directly, either from within your browser or by double clicking on it. Look for
the file ZBrush_Hotkeys.htm which in a standard Windows installation will be in:
C:\Program Files\Pixologic\ZBrush2\ZStartup\ZPlugs\Hotkey_Dat a\.

HTH,

[Moka]

OK
I've found the HTML file.
I think that's why i use a Mac and not a Windows (the browser doesn't open).

Thanks a lot :D

[damageINC]

I keep getting a Script Note error when I launch Zbrush with the hotkey plugin installed. I've made sure that I placed it in the proper folder and maintained the file structure outlined in a previous post.....but every time I start it up the popup appears. Any ideas?

[marcus_civis]

damageINC,
Sorry to hear you're having problems. Can you post a screenshot of the message? That way I'll have a better idea what's going wrong.
Thanks,

[pao008]

Thanks! this will boost my working speed :D

[rimasson]

I'd really like to change navigation keys, and use different mouse + alt combos ..
Maybe in a future version ?

[marcus_civis]

Hi rimasson,

Yes, I would have liked to give people this option but it's not currently possible in zscripting to address the mouse action combinations or satisfactorily [believe me, I tried :) ] the navigation. Perhaps the update will give more options for this, as I don't suppose you're the only person who would like it!

Cheers,

[deletedSoul]

Hi all,

I have been setting up my tablet PC to work with all my 3D apps and have been using Auto Hotkey www.autohotkey.com (http://www.autohotkey.com) It's really cool and you can reassign pretty much any key to whatever you want including multilple keystrokes mapped to a key, remapping joystick/mouse, etc. There was another thread in ZBC that talks all about it (http://www.pixolator.com/zbc/showthread.php?t=28681). I use it with a external bluetooth keypad and remap those keys to the wasd, ctrl/shift, etc. keys.

Now if we can get native tablet PC support in Zbrush 2.5, that would be killer! The wacom driver on my toshiba works partially. I would be VERY happy to beta test. :D

Thanks for the great hot key editor and I hope this info helps those looking to remap the ctrl shift alt keys, etc!

[DarkEdge]

first off, let me say thanks for developing this!

now second, i can't see it! lol!
i created a folder like you suggested @
c/program files/pixologic/zbrush2/zstartup/zplugs

extracted there, restarted zbrush go to zplugin don't see anything thats close to hot key editor there (?). i guess i am a dolt. what am i doing wrong!?

[marcus_civis]

Hi DarkEdge,

You've probably got an extra folder in there by mistake, called something like 'HotkeyEditor_verA'. Just move the contents directly to the ZPlugs folder, so that ZStartup\ZPlugs contains a file called HotkeyEditor_verA.zsc and a subfolder Hotkey_Data (which has other files inside it). Restart ZBrush and all should be well.

Cheers,

[DarkEdge]

marcus_civis,

yep, that was the problem.
sorry if you have already stated that 100 times before, i read everything but scripts are somewhat of a mystery to me. :rolleyes:
everything works great, thanks again.
you da' man!

just one little note, i got this at startup...but remember everythings works fine.

[Buckie]

Wow, Pixologic have managed to release something... ;)

[marcus_civis]

DarkEdge,

I'm glad you got it working. :)



just one little note, i got this at startup...but remember everythings works fine.

I've come across this before and only just realised what was happening. :o
The plugin counts the installed plugins as it loads and I never tested it without any other plugins. Oops. Thanks for the pointer!

Unzip and install this file in your ZPlugs folder and it will solve the problem. :)

Buckie,
You just woken up? This was released some time ago, and another plugin has been released since. :)

[Buckie]

Buckie,
You just woken up?

I wish, became a dad about 6 months ago, haven't slept since... :confused:

Not been around much at all, need to do some digging... ;)

[pixelsoul]

interesting hope i can change the zoom shortcut with this :)

[marcus_civis]

pixelsoul,
It depends which zoom shortcut you're talking about. Any button that involves dragging the mouse (such as the Zoom button) is best left as it is. However you can change the Zoom In and Zoom Out hotkeys (+ & -) if you wish.

Buckie,
All is explained. :tu:

Cheers,

[testure]

nice plugin, works like a charm.

I was kind of hoping it would let me fix the hotkeys up so I dont have to get into 'zbrush mode' after coming from max.. every time i import an object i start trying to pan/rotate around with middle mouse :lol:

Yes, it would have been good to add in mouse functionality but it's not currently possible using zscripting.

[Smoluck]

got a Repeatable Bug ....

I import an ABJ object on the canvas , and go to Edit Mode ( launch the Hotkey Editor and assign in the Custom tab, the Move Edited Object to "B" hotkey, and Save that.

I've tried to Assigned "B" hotkey to Move Edited Object (as other tool like Scale & Rotate edited object) and I got a fatal Error, when I press my new hotkey "B".... did you got the same Bug ?

how can I fix that ?

If that bug will be Fixed I will be A wonderfull Plugin ;^)

Thanks for the comments and I'm glad you find the plugin useful ... apart from this error. ;-)

As it says somewhere else in this thread, hotkeys cannot be changed/assigned for the navigation buttons. As you've found, doing so will throw an error. I should have coded to avoid people trying to do this :o and will do so when I update the plugin.

In the meantime, simply disable the hotkey by starting the Hotkey Editor and switching to the Custom tab. Find the entry for Move Edit, press the 'X' to the right of the hotkey to clear it then press 'Assign'. Then press 'Save All' before closing the Hotkey Editor.

HTH,

[Smoluck]

ok thanks.. I've wanted tio define my own hotkey config, because I use an additionnal Keycontroller ( Belkin Nostromo N52 pad ). :lol:

With all those brushes available it'd be gRRRREAT to have all them hotkeyed. I used to hotkey the std inflate etc to 1, 2, 3,4 for easy access along the qwer key.

Hello Christian, :)

Yes, it should be possible to assign hotkeys to macros / brushes. On changing the brush size, you can use the [ and ] keys to adjust size. (I did write a plugin for ZBrush 2 with which you could adjust the brush size by moving the mouse - I will update this for ZBrush 3 if it is possible.)

--E-- thanks for the script. I tried it but it's not "parented" to the keys that I'm comfortable with.

Anyway, I dig my Z2 Zscripts and put together my own. Now, don't credit me for it because parts of the codes are from someone else's zscripts which I can't recall who or where I got it, but I rip them apart and put together this little "Hotkey" script. Attached is the source code, it serves as a lowly ductape patch while we wait for marcus' hotkey plugin.

Inside you'll find the z3 brushes ready to hotkey to the key you want it to load to. If you don't want a button to be hotkeyed, just delete the whole set, or put // before it. Also, it's supposed to work with svengali's psnap installed for them quick saves. Also quick document resize.

I'm not very good at coding, but at least I can give back some little scripts after leeching all those great zplugins.

is there ANY way whatsoever that these can be un hardcoded? developers?

by any chance has this been addressed in 3?

It is possible to call the Zintensity, like you do while pressing U, with macro to assign it on an other Hotkey, while waiting for this plug-in?

[marcus_civis]

It is possible to call the Zintensity, like you do while pressing U, with macro to assign it on an other Hotkey, while waiting for this plug-in?

You can use a macro to change the hotkey but you will have to run the macro after you have started ZBrush - it won't run automatically (though you can give the macro a hotkey too, if you wish.)

Here is the code:


[IButton,???,"Hotkey macro",
[IConfig,3]

[ISetHotkey,Draw:Z Intensity,0]//this disables the current hotkey
[ISetHotkey,Draw:Z Intensity,'k']//this sets the new one

[IPress,Macro],,1,/*hotkey for macro here*/,,]


The above code sets the Z Intensity hotkey to K. Change this to what you want but be careful to avoid choosing something which conflicts with other ZBrush hotkeys. Use this form for the hotkey code:

'k' for letter or numbers
CTRL + 'q' for modifier combinations - SHIFT, CTRL or ALT
note the single quotes ' ' only go around the letter/number

Although you can use this method for setting other hotkeys there are some situations where ZBrush will return an error if the state of the UI means the particular item is unavailable.

[PrayingMantis]

Thx marcus, it works fine.
I put the same hotkey for calling the macro and for my new hotkey and it works fine.
It loads the macro the first time I press the hotkey and after that it call my Zintensity.

[jinchoung]

hmph,

it didn't work for me in 3.1 (flicker like crazy and then when i release, the cursor did not change) so i just kept going with the regular non sticky key method.

UNTIL...

i discovered that holding down SPACEBAR nets me a result very close to what i wanted in the first place! it's a sticky key and the SIZE slider is pretty much right under my cursor when i bring it up!

so another option.

[Abyssis]

is there a difference between spacebar and RMB-click?:o

I think you can assign the spacebar to things without it affect the RMB.

[goodrichm]

If something is already assigned to a key and you unknowingly assign the same key to something else, is there a warning message telling you that the key is already assigned?

I'd like to assign things to diff keys, but I'm afraid I'll mess up the default key assignments or the plugin key assignments...MG

Currently, only if you've used the key in one of your custom assignments (although I think this may change). But don't worry, any changes you make and store are simple to fix if you discover you've overwritten something by mistake. Just change the hotkey or delete it by Ctrl+clicking then pressing the Delete or period '.' key. Store the new hotkeys and restart ZBrush; the default hotkey that you overwrote will be restored.

drondron,

There's no need of an update of this for 3.1 - there is already a hotkey option built in. Simply hold the Ctrl key and click on the button you wish to assign a hotkey to. Then press the key combination you wish to use. That will assign it to the button. To make sure your new hotkey is available in future ZBrush sessions, be sure to save your hotkeys by using the options in the Preferences>Hotkeys submenu.

I'm getting an error after correctly installing and trying to run/print the command list out, has this plugin been verified to work with zbrush4r2 I thought it was my graphics driver at first because the screen where you add your own shortcuts is greyed out/white or fuzzy like static. Not sure how to get it to print the master command list? And its hard to see all the commands on the screen correctly. would love to fix it, any ideas? Im running windows 7 64 bit:(

This plugin is not for ZBrush 4 or Zbrush 4R2. To assign a hotkey simply Ctrl+Alt+click on the interface button and then press the hotkey you want to use. See here:

I am new to the zbrush community, but have created a color coded master list of all the keyboard shortcuts, that is why 3 weeks ago I was researching the hotkeys :)
I have also created a special zbrush keyboard sticker set that corresponds with the master list!

Please give me feed back and spread the word!
