[Cadence Virtuoso] bindkey, bind pageup pagedown keys

kenu84

Hi,

how do i bind the pageup/page down keys?

hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "<Key>PageUp" "hiZoomWindowAtPoint( getCurrentWindow() 1.4 hiGetPoint(getCurrentWindow() ))")
doesn't work

in fact, is there a list of all the valid bindkey key strings?

  • Hi kenu84

    Would you please try this?

    === For pageUp ===
    hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "<Key>KP_9" "abc")

    === For pageDown ===
    hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "<Key>KP_3" "xyz")

    Usually I check ciw:Options->BindKeys" for the string. I don't think that there is such a list. COS solution 1143269 might also be useful for you.

    Best regards
    Quek

     

  •  Thanks quek, your post really helped!

    (although i didn't quite need to go so far as to xmodmap some modifier keys)

    I was browsing the net about xmodmap, and found out that in X, it calls "PageUp" "Prior" and "PageDown" "Next"
    http://fixunix.com/x/19506-how-remap-keys-xmodmap.html

    So doing,
    === For pageUp ===
    hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "<Key>Prior" "abc")

    === For pageDown ===
    hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "<Key>Next" "xyz")

     Gives me what i want.
