I'm trying to customize the default keyboard shortcuts in the Viewport Tools section. For example, I want to permanently change the Node tool to just the single keystroke "V" and "R" for Rotate and "T" for translate, and so on. In other words, I don't want to have to press any modifier keys. Just the single letter key.

It works but only in the currently active document. Somehow the revised shortcuts are not being saved. Anyone else experience this issue? Mac OSX 10.7.5, DS Pro 4.6.1.17.

TIA

They should be saved to the actions.dsx file, which on the Mac is possibly in a folder like pListsDAZ 3DStudio 4 but I'm far from certain of that. If you can find that file check its last changed date. It's possible that DS is crashing on exit, though I'd expect you to get an error then - you might want to try Window>Workspace>Save Layout as... after setting your shortcuts.

Thanks, RHaseltine. As an experiment, I tred editing the actions.dsx file in a text editor. I removed all of the instances of "Alt+Shift+" in these lines:

So then, after editing, the above lines looked like this:

I saved actions.dsx like that, but after opening DS4 again, the keyboard shortcuts were not changed, and all of the instances of "Alt+Shift+" were put back into the actions.dsx file as if I had never deleted them.

So it seems as if simply re-opening DS4 recreates the default actions.dsx file. Any thoughts on that?

Thanks very much for your help.

 

Oh and I did try Window>Workspace>Save Layout after setting my shortcuts. Didn't work.

It may be that it won't allow non-modifier shortcuts. I would report this as a bug - if it's meant to be that way you will be told, and we'll know.

Thanks. I'm waiting for Daz Tech Support to reply on this issue.
