Can you remap ZBrush keyboard shortcuts?

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

With an increasing number of 2d & 3d applications to keep track of, I’m trying to remap them all to a common set of keyboard shortcuts. Is there any way to remap/alter zbrush’s keyboard shortcuts?
Regards

I would assume so. All keyboard shortcuts are mapped out in the interface zscript (interface.txt) which I believe can be found in the zbrush root directory. That is the extent of what I know on the subject. Good luck with it! I think a good way would be to open the text file, and use “find” to find each button you want to change. Just enter the button caption and it should bring you right to the kep mapping.

ATronic has the right idea. :slight_smile: Alter your default script (in the root of the ZScript directory) and add buttons with shortcuts. Because you only want to change shortcuts, you don’t need very hard code. This will do:

This code creates a button in the script. It is labeled “Render”, and its popup is “Render the Scene”. When pressed, the button will activate the Best Render button in the Render Palette. Its keyboard shortcut is CONTROL and R. You can alter this to select/do anything! :slight_smile:
