Thanks. So it sounds like it's not possible to reset the currently selected parameter-dial to its default MinValue, via a script. I assume it's made impossible because Poser does not casually 'know' what the currently selected parameter-dial is, and requires a script to explicitly name the dial or else hook it via a ParameterByCode command?
Which means the alternative fallback for the user would be the "two-click, no-keyboard" way, rather than Alt + click. While at or near the dial, use the dial's tiny "Reset" arrow-button (which sits at the end of each dial panel). I assume this "Reset" command can't be hooked up to a script either, which would at least have enabled one-click button-ization of it. Tests show that the user cannot multi shift-selected dials, then reset them all by using just one "Reset" arrow-button.
Incidentally, I discovered that Crtl + E will reset all dials within the currently-selected body part. These are reset to the defaults for each dial, not 0.0. Sadly it also resets morph and scale dials, and does not restrict itself to body-part rotation dials. But perhaps a script might memorise all dials on the currently selected body-part, Ctrl + E it, and then restore everything except the rotations?
For partial resets of duff poses the Dial Manager 2015 addon is another option. It can select and zero/reset multiple dials at once. Which provides a way to partially back out of a failed attempt at a pose, without having to Alt+Ctrl+F (memorize figure) & Ctrl+Shift+F (restore figure) or Crtl + E (reset all in body-part) or the nuclear option of a full figure reset. But it appears that Dial Manager is no longer sold, even though it still works in Poser 11.2. Possibly the new Lockmaster addon for Poser 12 (only) will come in time to do much the same thing for Poser 12 owners?
