Alias code help

vmartins

Hi to all,I looked around for this codes but finally I decided to ask.

I'm a very basic skill coder but I want to learn more so first if someone could send me a link on where to start I appreciate.

Secondly, I was trying to setup a alias to togle between two callbacks functions I set up in other script that is loaded before in the setup.

what is the code line expression!!??   list( "Ctrl<Key>KEY"     "....")

 

For last, I was trying to set up a alias to toggle "sidewyas" and "upside down" option in a move or copy command.

how do I toggle functions inside option forms!!

 

Thanks very much for the help in advance and best regards

Vasco

    Take a look at these older posts that tell you where you can learn more about Skill programming.

    I'm assuming that you are referring to bindkeys rather than aliases. the command you want to use is:

    hiSetBindKey(
    [t_applicationType]
    [t_key]
    [t_skill_cmd]
     )
         => t | nil
    Binds a SKILL command string to a keyboard key or a mouse sequence for an application.

    Reference above comes from the Cadence Skill Finder utility. You can start it from a shell command line using "cdsFinder" or from your CIW using "startFinder". You can then use it to find commands and a brief description of their arguments. More information is in the Skill Reference guide.

    Here is a simple example for a bindkey to run the Layer Tap command:
    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "Ctrl<Key>t" "leHiLayerTap()")

    Lastly, if you are using the built-in Cadence commands for move/copy/stretch, then typically the right mouse button or middle mouse button will rotate the item you are moving, and a shift and the mouse button will flip sideways or upside down. Here are the bindkeys used in 6.1.5:

    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "None<Btn2Down> EF" "lxCmdOptions()")
    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "Ctrl<Btn2Down> EF" "cmdCtrlOption()")
    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "Shift<Btn2Down> EF" "lxCmdShiftOptions()")

    Notice the "EF" designation. This indicates that the command will only work during an "Enter Function". In other words, when you are in the midst of a "move" operation, this key will work. If no commands are active these key bindings won't be used, You could actually have a different command bound to these keys without the EF designation that would be used when no command is currently running.

    Take a look at the default bindkeys by going to the CIW->Options->Bindkeys menu.
