Bindkey for raising CIW problem

Hello,

First of all, I am quite new to programming in SKILL. I've tried to raise the CIW window by using a bindkey F3 by using this code:

procedure(raiseCommandInterpreter()

    applicationList = list("Schematics" "Layout" "Artist" "adexl")

    foreach(application applicationList

        hiSetBindKey(application "<Key>F3" "hiRaiseWindow(window(1))")

       printf("Bindkey <F3> set for raising CIW window for %s. \n" application)

    )

)

The bindkey works in schematic and layout, however, in ADE(X)L is does not raise the window... Is there something I missed?

Kind regards,

Nicolas

Hi Nicolas,

For ADE L you need to explicitly call:

hiRegisterBindKeyPrefix("Artist")

as described in my article: How to define bindkeys for the ADE L window

For me, I tried adding that and then the bindkey works in all four applications (I think ADE XL would have worked anyway).
