Keycodes

Post by Circle » Wed Jul 28, 2021 12:33 pm

How does one customize the 'Keycodes"?

While searching the forum for this question, I came across a topic where someone was saying that you cannot use single letter keycodes. For example if you use the letter 'L" for line it would wipe out all keycodes that are for example "LW" for line weight. Makes sense, as the L would be activated before you get to the W. If you have Command L, would that suffice as a two letter?

Thanks.

Hi,
One can test that quite basic.
Go to Application Preferences .. General .. Tool Settings.
Select a method, any, and tryout your shortcut key under Shortcuts.

Close App.Prefs with 'Cancel' :wink:
