Re: ShortCuts
I moved the default shortcut from W to Shift+Q key combination. To invoke the ShortCuts overlay feature.
P.S. To set custom key combination use the ShortCuts module.

Re: ShortCuts
Thats nice, Ive just made short footage on YT illustrating the issue.
I wish shortcuts customization was working in a predictable manner, otherwise theres no way
to make use of FC in regular workflow, IMHO.

@zbigg
It's up to you to use some existing solution. In this thread in general please report issues related to shortcuts manager provided by ShortCuts module for FreeCAD. As you can already use it to set global or per-workbench shortcuts for FreeCAD command. And if that isn't working on your side please report the issues you are experiencing.

Re: ShortCuts
Hi,
Ve been trying to define some shortcuts BUT:
Is it possible in FC to assign same key(s) for two different commands?
I.e. to toggle switch between Ortho and Persp mode?

Re: ShortCuts
By using shortcuts manager (provided by ShortCuts module for FreeCAD) you can assign the same (local) shortcut to commands located in different workbenches. Therefore you can for example use shortcut "A" in more workbenches (once per each workbench). And in each workbench a different command can be triggered.
This are two separate commands and therefore you can't assign the same (global) shortcut to both. This is not FreeCAD specific as this is just how software in general works. What you would need is a toggle command. And to assign a global shortcut to it. Likely a macro based command could be created. To offer such functionality. If you are interested let me know and i can take a look.I.e. to toggle switch between Ortho and Persp mode?
Re: ShortCuts
Hi,
I just thought of such functionality that eg Blender has: you can toggle between EDIT and OBJECT mode with TAB key.
In FC it could be also *ORTHO and PERSP mode for example, reduced number of possible key combinations w/out limiting functionality I think
SPACE works in such mode already afaik.
*(Of course there are more than one type of ortho representations in euclidean geometry but we shall stick to one only.)

Re: ShortCuts
Yes there i guess could be a toggle command available in the future by default. Just like tons of other small adjustments.
P.S. For now the mentioned commands are separated. Therefore you will need 2 (default or custom set) keyboard shortcut combinations to make it work.

Re: ShortCuts
Use Case
Customize keyboard shortcut combination used to invoke command panel.
Customize keyboard shortcut combination used to invoke command panel.
- Command panel module should be installed.
- Run shortcuts manager located under Tools -> Accessories -> Shortcuts global menu entry.
- We want to set global shortcut and that is why Global shortcuts entry is selected from the drop down menu.
- Search for "invoke command panel" command.
- Double click on the shortcut cell and set desired custom key combination.
- If valid key combination was entered that will be reflected in the cell (after exiting the cell edit mode).
- Close the shortcuts preferences dialog and test the new key combination.
