Cant alias this bindkey command

howardhaoracle

Hi..

Can you please tell me what is wrong with this bindkey setting:

 hiSetBindKey("Layout" "Shift<Key>n"   leSetFormSnapMode("orthogonal"))

at the CIW prompt ,it returns t

But when I tried to use this bindkey, I got the error  *Error* toplevel: undefined variable - orthogonal

 

However, if I change the synctax from orthogonal to anyAngle, it works fine.. (Why??)

Thank you very much for your help

Howard

    Hi Howard,

    You seem to be missing some quotes and escapes for embedded quotes, though I'm not sure how the "anyAngle" version can work...

    Here is what it could look like when corrected:

    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "Shift<Key>n"   "leSetFormSnapMode(\"orthogonal\")")

    Hopefully this helps you.

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
