The shift+Z keys toggle on and off spotlight but the Z key alone does not toggle on and off the spotlight dial. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Have you assigned ‘Z’ as a hotkey to anything else? That’s the only reason I can think as to why it would not be working - it’s fine for me.
Good call Marcos, I think that may be the problem.
How can I get that key or any key assigned to get that spotlight dial to toggle without being able to see the dial to click on it to set a “custom” hotkey?
Hi EZRA52,
If your on PC, what you can try is, go to C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\ZBrush Data\ZStartup\Hotkeys and open your custom hotkey TXT file. Look for the line that is using the Z key, and at the start of that line, put 2 forward slashes (//) which will just make it a comment (without deleting it) and won’t be used. Save the file, restart ZBrush and try Spotlight again.
You can do as zber2 suggests (thanks zber2 
), or you can assign a new hotkey to the Spotlight dial. Assign the hotkey of your choice to the Transform>Edit Spotlight button (see attached image).
