  • hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "<Key>1" "load(\"/path/usr/test.il\")")

    Better would be to define a function inside test.il and then your bindkey can call it and not keep loading the file each time.

  • Hello Rahim,

    Its quite simple, at first check if you have a .cdsinit file in the library (the folder in which you run virtuoso), if not create one/add the following lines:

    load(prependInstallPath("/path/test.il"))

    So, the script will be automatically loaded, now in the script, use the bindkey command so that the particular function is loaded whenever you press a certain key.
    eg.: bk("Layout" "<Key>up"   "geScroll(nil \"n\" nil)")

    [This will bind the graphics editor (ge) function to scroll with the 'up' key.]

    Let me know if you need any further help.
