geReturn

Helena
You can either use geReturnToLevel() or geReturn() to go up in a layout hierarchy. Is there any way to go directly up to the top level in your layout with a Cadence bindkey, like the user can do in a schematic (where schHiReturnToTop() exist)? Thanks, Helena

  •  Hi Helena,

    Not to my knowledge, but you can call leReturn() (or geReturn()) exhaustively until you are at the top, and you could encapsulate this in a function if you wanted.  For example I just tried:


    

procedure(myReturnToTop(@optional verbose)
  let( ((cnt 0))
    while(leReturn() 
      cnt++
    )
    ;; verbose is 'nil' by default
    when(verbose
      printf("Returned %d times\n" cnt)
    )
    t  ;; return 't'
  ); let
); procedure

myReturnToTop(t)
=> t
Returned 2 times    ;; printed output (not returned)

myReturnToTop()
=> t

     So you could set a new bindkey to the above function (or something similar) for this behaviour.

    I hope that this helps!

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
