Bindkeys

1kewlcat

I am new to using skill and I have been trying to customize my bindkeys.   I have been struggling trying to get the syntax correct to use the lowercase letter "g" to turn the grid on and upper case "G" to turn it off.  I have been trying to wade through the documentation but for a newbie it's like trying to read the health care bill.  Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

  • Display options update properties on the window object. They are typically seeded from a cdsenv setting - so for example:

    layout drawGridOn boolean t

    is the .cdsenv file entry, which can also be set using:

    envSetVal("layout" "drawGridOn" 'boolean t)

    However, that doesn't impact existing windows. Also, the envSetVal is the last resort for the lookup when opening a new window - it also looks for properties on the cellView, then falls back to properties on the library, then technology library, and finally the cdsenv.

    So what you're doing in this bindkey is retrieving the drawGridOn property from the window, inverting it (the !) and then setting it again. So this will toggle the current drawGridOn setting on the window.

    Does that help?
