How to unbind a key?

MOSFET

I redefined the 'S' key to the geScroll command by adding the following line to my .cdsinit file:

 hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "<Key>S" "geScroll( nil \"s\" nil )")

 The new binding works fine when I am in Virtuoso and don't have anything selected, but once I copy an object and am moving the copied instance around to place it, my S key binding doesn't work anymore.  Instead, whenever I press 'S', I see the command "schSnapToConn()" appear in the CIW.

 I then clicked on Options->Show Bindkeys in the CIW and saw that the S key was bound to other functions.  How can I unbind the S key from the other functions so that it works exactly like the down arrow key does?  I searched through the documentation but couldn't find any unbind function.

     When you are in a move command, you are in what we call an EnterFunction. So you need to define another bindkey that is specific for EnterFunction. We allow bindkeys to be set independently for EnterFunction.

     

    In this case, please also set:

      hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "<Key>S EF" "geScroll( nil \"s\" nil )")

     The extra EF tells the sytem you are setting a bindkey for EnterFunction.

     

    The default bindkey file you might have loaded is in $CDSHOME/tools/dfII/samples/local/schBindKeys.il . If you look into it, you can see that the EF version of "S" is set to schSnapToConn.

     

     

    Thanks, that worked perfectly.
