Customize Keyboard Shortcuts

Please implement a way to bind keyboard shortcuts to tools. The developer tool that did this prior to its unfortunate removal was a huge help, and increased productivity immensely.

    This functionality returned in builds 4525+

    We had to remove the previous method for customizing shortcuts because it was part of a developer-only tool whose use could cause issues in the software. It has since been replaced with a better method for creating your own shortcuts:

    1. Go to the Measure Options dialog.
    2. Go to the "Customize" section.
    3. Click "Keyboard Shortcuts".
    4. In the dialog that appears, you can type text to search for a command or scroll down the list of functions until you find the one you want to create a shortcut to.
    5. Click the "Specify a Shortcut" dropdown menu and choose any available key binds.

  • I'm aware of the current supported shortcuts, but please re-implement a way to customize them.

  • This is not a way to customize the available shortcuts, but is a way to use the available shortcuts much easier.  I use a Razer Tartarus which is a sort of like a small keyboard with fully customizable keys.  It allows me to bind multiple key presses into one.  For example SHIFT + CTRL + C (close room shortcut) is just pressing one key instead of all three for a normal keyboard.

  • Bring this back:

    This is the menu that used to pop up when you would right click on an action. The "customize" tab would let you assign a hotkey/keyboard shortcut to the action. Helped speed up commercial bids a ton.

  • So frustrating when you use something as part of your "toolbox" and then somebody takes it away! I am used to what I do, and this does not affect me but I can totally understand why you want it back.
