2 Stroke bindkey or state machine bindkey application

bharath2k4

Hi ,

 

 I remember using 2 stroke bindkey previously in IC5.14. Now I have moved, and currently using IC6.1.5 version Will the state machine  or 2 stroke bindkey work?

example of a 2 storke bindkey:

1. Press key<a>,

2. It expects one more key/stroke to complete a bindkey operation

 

Press key <a> and

if we press  <q> - say move

if we press <w> - say  copy

<e> - say rotate and so on..

 

like wise , This is not pressing 2 keys at a time, but one after the other 

<q><a> - rotate;

<q><s> - operation2;

<q><d> -operation3;

<q><f> -operation4 

 

I am not sure if I am understandable, Pardon me if I am not. I can explain again.

 

Thanks,

Bharath

  •  Yeah, I'm sorry for any lack of clarity.  It was unintentional. I was afraid it wouldn't work.  And yes, a strange request, I agree.  I have an unusual keyboard that I'm trying out.  It places the numpad to the left of the alphabetical portion.  The thought was I could minimize having to take my hand off the mouse, and reduce left hand movement over the keyboard by customizing the keypad to handle the most common bindkeys.  The idea works great with the exception of my "strange request".

     Guess I'll have to devise another plan.

     Out of curiousity, is it a limitation of Cadence, or is something hard coded in the keyboard hardware that prevents the change?  We have a Cadence AE here onsite, and he said it couldn't be done, at least that he was aware of.  I wasn't prepared to give up so easily.

     

    Thanks for looking anyway.

    Cheers,

    EDIT:   PS, Now I wonder, could the functionality of a Shift+MiddleMouse in a Move or Copy command be bound to 1 key?  Say I use M for move, and THEN press KP_0 to mirror the selected data, and each key press toggles/cycles through each orientation.  Would that work?
