All i see are buttons for loading/saving hotkeys. But how do you actually assign them to stuff ?
And what does the ‘SetOldMoveMode’ macro do ?

Hotkeys: hold down Ctrl and click on the button or interface item you want to assign a hotkey to. A message should appear in the Notebar saying you can assign a hotkey. Press the key combination of your choice. To make sure that the hotkey remains available you must Store or Save it in Preferences:Hotkeys. Store is for Startup, Save for Custom.
SetOldMoveMode simply selects the new Move Brush. Move is the new Tweak.
Ahaa ! Thanks for clearing that up…

Wish they’d make up their minds about what to call it already, it’s making my head hurt heh
Is there a way to assign hotkeys to the navigation?
what about the grow and shrink of the brush size, [ ] ?
Scratch that, its working now, i reloaded the startup hotkeys.
No, I’m afraid there isn’t. Apart from changing the Edit Move hotkey from F to what you want.
Yes, you can change these. Ctrl+click on the <<Brush & Brush>> buttons in ZPlugin:Misc Utilities.
i assumed it were gonna be made possible based on this response to the ’ opinion poll - navigation ’ thread. maybe next time a
Thanks for the quick reply Marcus. That’s unfortunate about the navigation but at least the other tools are hotkeyable which is a major plus!
As far as I know, the ‘scripted smart UIs’ are still in the pipeline. Whether the intention is to include the oft-asked for navigation options I don’t know but be assured that if it’s possible it will be considered. I simply don’t know if there is a technical restraint on this - there may well be.
This message is not appearing for me… All I get is the info for the buttons… and yes, I have 3.1 installed…
Hold ctrl + left click on buttons… nope, doesn’t seem to be working…hmm
Hmm, no idea why this should be. How many hotkeys do you want to change? If it’s no too many list the buttons & what keys you want and I’ll write the file.
Thanks. It’s not a big deal really… All I wanted to do was to set standard/smooth/move/lazytool hotkeys so I could work faster… Do you think I should install 3.1 again?
EDIT: something like ALT+ qwer or CTRL+qwer would be good, thanks
This will assign:
Alt+Q to the Standard Brush
Alt+W to the Smooth Brush
Alt+E to the Move Brush
Alt+R to switching Lazy Mouse on or off
Save the file to your ZStartup\Hotkeys folder.
HTH,
All you need to make the hotkey feature to work. Just exit ENABLE CUSTOMIZE mode (Preferences:Enable Customize)… Once you have exited the mode, Just follow Marus instructions…

Hi,
is there is any hack to changes the camera/navigation control into
alt+LMB = rotate
alt+MMB = pan
alt+LMB+MMB = zoom
literaly the way maya has them?
if there is anyone knows how to hack this please let me know.
i don’t understand why pixol don’t just implement a tools to customized their navigation, just like what modo, and mudbox has.
any headsup will be appreciated.
best
There isn’t a hack but if you press the Preferences:Interface:Top Popup Transform button (store the config to keep the setting - Shift+Ctrl+i ) you can then do this:
Press Spacebar to bring up the quick menu, then
LMB = rotate
MMB = pan
RMB = zoom
Hi, i set LazyMouse to “i” and then loaded this script in via the Zstartup\Zplugs folder
[IButton,“Zplugin:Sliders:Draw Size Up”,“Increases Draw Size by 3 units”,
[IFreeze,
[ISet,Zscript:Show Actions,0]
[ISet,Draw: Draw Size,[IGet,Draw: Draw Size]+3]
]
, ‘l’]
The ‘k’ one is working, but the ‘l’ one isn’t. It keeps just switching the Lazymouse on and off. This script worked in 3.0. Is there a way i can get this to work with these keys in 3.1? Or is there a way to get that function outside of the script at all?
please help, thanks
The simplest way to do this is to take the hotkeys out of the code altogether, then assign the hotkeys you want to use to the plugin buttons using the ZB Ctrl+click hotkey method. As long as you save the new hotkeys they should work ok.
