solved - find all currently assigned shortcuts?

[TheMarkster]

It will show only those commands which have shortcuts assigned. I get this output after a fresh restart and without loading many workbenches.

>>> commands = Gui.listCommands()
>>> shortcuts = [f"{c} -> {Gui.Command.get(c).getShortcut()}" for c in commands if Gui.Command.get(c).getShortcut()]
>>> shortcuts

It will show only those commands which have shortcuts assigned...

Thank you !
That does indeed begin to look like what I was after
I will try it tomorrow

[TheMarkster]

I can break it down a bit further.

commands = Gui.listCommands() creates a new list of strings called commands which contains all the commands available, example: 'Std_AxisCross' which is the command for toggling the axis cross.

shortcuts = [f"{c} -> {Gui.Command.get(c).getShortcut()}" for c in commands if Gui.Command.get(c).getShortcut()] is a bit more complicated. It create a new list named shortcuts. f"{c}" is a formatted string in python. Here c is the command, e.g. 'Std_AxisCross'. The -> bit is just " -> " added to that string, so you would have Std_AxisCross -> to which gets added the shortcut in {Gui.Command.get(c).getShortcut()}. The for c in commands means to do this for each command in commands, which we refer to as c. Then finally "if Gui.Command.get(c).getShortcut()" means we only want those that have a shortcut.

just out of curiosity (and for my education, please) what is the difference between (for example) 'Z and Z' ???

You misinterpreted the result.
It gives you a list of all shortcuts, each enclosed in between single quotes.

[bambuko]

... each enclosed in between single quotes.

now that you mention it, the confusing picture is clearer
thank you

Thank you Mark,
tried it today and it works exactly as advertised/
The output is long, single line string which I ended up copying and pasting into word document to format it into something more readable.
It has helped me with what I was trying to do!

Not a judgment, just notice that Mark's method only gives you shortcuts assigned to commands.

...Not a judgment, just notice that Mark's method only gives you shortcuts assigned to commands.

Oh I know, but it's probably my ignorance in not asking precise enough question in the first place
and getting the answer that suited my needs by lack rather than judgement
i.e.

Std_3DViewPreselection -> V, Q',
'Std_ActivateNextWindow -> Ctrl+Tab',
'Std_ActivatePrevWindow -> Ctrl+Shift+Backtab',
'Std_AxisCross -> A, C',
'Std_BoxElementSelection -> Ctrl+Shift+E',
'Std_BoxSelection -> Shift+B',
'Std_ClipPlaneDragger -> C, D',
'Std_CloseActiveWindow -> Ctrl+W',
'Std_CmdHistory -> R, R',
'Std_Copy -> Ctrl+C',
'Std_Cut -> Ctrl+X',
'Std_Delete -> Del',
etc,
etc,

When I tried:

Code: Select all

from PySide import QtGui
[act.shortcut().toString() for act in Gui.getMainWindow().findChildren(QtGui.QAction) if not act.shortcut().isEmpty()]
[act.key().toString() for act in Gui.getMainWindow().findChildren(QtGui.QShortcut) if not act.key().isEmpty()]

I got a list of shortcuts but without info about what are they assigned to (no criticism - it was what I apparently asked for )

i.e.

'Alt+F4',
'W, 1',
'W, 2',
'W, 3',
'W, 4',
'W, 5',
'W, 6',
'W, 7',
'W, 8',
'W, 9',
'F1',
'Ctrl+N',
'Ctrl+O
etc,
etc,

Both answers are useful and especially when used in combination?
So, I am grateful to all contributors and can only apologise for my sloppiness

this is brain damage level for me
I have run the command, copied output into word and I am formatting it to compare.

It's like a foreign language to me, this Python thing I never cease to be amazed by you guys...
