How to remap bindkeys only when a certain command is active.

Mithun Adiga

Hi,

Does anyone know how to remap a bindkey only when a certain command is active. For example my mouse roller button zooms in and out when I roll it up and down but when the move command is active I want to remap it to flip horizontal and flip vertical so how do I do it only when the move command is active.

All the help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Mithun.,

  • Hi Mithun,

    Yes, you need to append "EF" at the end of the key definition for the bindkey so that it defines a different action while an enter function is active (e.g. Move, Copy etc.).  Something like this:

    
hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "None" "hiZoomInAtMouse()")  ;; e.g. your original definition
hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "NoneEF" "schHiRotate(?nonmodal t)") ;; rotate during enterfunctions

    Something like that (I've not tested the above too much) - you would probably need a different command than the above to perform the rotation.

    Hopefully this helps at least to answer your question...

    Regards,
