Hotkeys modification

Crocodilum

Hey again.

I was trying to modify two hotkeys.
(Thing is, I have to restart Spine in order to make the new hotkeys work. Not sure if bug or not).

I've red that when you add two single quotes around a letter, it makes the hotkey being repeated.
But it doesn't seem to work with this one:

Draw Order Down: 'MINUS'

I got an error, Spine doesn't seem to like the single quotes around MINUS. Is that wanted? I can not have a repeated key for the draw order? Cause at the moment, I'm like hitting dozen of times my minus key to move an object (I know I can move it with my mouse directly in the tree > Draw order).

When single quotes are used, it is actually looking for a char. Try '-', that will work. Also note there are hotkeys like Draw Order Down (5), for jumping by 5.

Crocodilum

Oh cool. It does work indeed, but not with the '+' unfortunately. Only the '-' is working.
I was thinking maybe it's the single quote itself, so I copy/paste it from another working hotkey, but same error, something isn't working well.
I'm under Spine 3.4.02 by the way.

So, you think it's a bug for the '+' one?

Besides, I can't manage to make another work. It's switching between Setup/Animate Mode. It's by default cmd + TAB, but on MAC, it just toggle the whole computer application choice, so I tried F3, ctrl + TAB, it never worked. Any idea?

I didn't change my Spine version, but for some reasons, F3 is now working to switch between animation and setup mode.
But the '+' still doesn't want to work.
The '-' is ok.

What kind of keyboard are you on?

This one, the iMac Retina keyboard:

Cool, is it a QWERTY, QWERTZ or something else?

Crocodilum

An AZERTY 🙂

Try changing the keyboard in the settings to AZERTY. This didn't work for some time, but was fixed in a recent 3.5 version.

Crocodilum

Yep, I did change this some times ago, to have proper shortcuts.

Nate

Ahh. I think what you want is shift + EQUALS. I think the PLUS key name refers to the plus key on the numpad. Sorry this is confusing!

Crocodilum

Hmm actually, I do want the plus key :p
I want the 2 keys PLUS & MINUS on my numpad.

Here's what I actually have in my hotkey file. And 2 shortcuts are not working.
By the way, I'm now in Spine 3.5.41
The keyboard layout is on AZERTY (French).

What I'm interested in is the possibility to keep my finger on the key, like the '-'

Nate

Strange. I don't see why that wouldn't work. You may need to wait until we had a UI for setting hotkeys. :S

Crocodilum

Yeah, I should be able to live without this, until this next feature 😉
