How to create bindkeys that open the descend form with different options

ayayla

Hi,

In schematic, I am trying to descend in a cell and what I want to do are two things.

First one is to have a bindkey let's say "e" and press it to open the descend form in read mode in current tab. Second one is to have another bindkey let's say Shift+e and press it to open the descend form in edit mode in new tab. I think "descendCanvasType" is the way to change where to open but how I can set the open mode: read or edit . I think to comment, I want to still see query window since I want to do this for different views like symbol, schematic and others.

Thanks

yayla

    There are two different functions for the different modes, so your two bindkeys would be:

    schSetEnv("descendCanvasType" "current tab") schHiDescendRead()

    and

    schSetEnv("descendCanvasType" "new tab") schHiDescendEdit()

    so as a bind key definition, this would look like:

    hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "<Key>E" "schSetEnv(\"descendCanvasType\" \"current tab\") schHiDescendRead()")
    hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "Shift<Key>E" "schSetEnv(\"descendCanvasType\" \"new tab\") schHiDescendEdit()")
