How to set a bindkey dsSearch() and let Zoom to object turn on as default

TonyTang

I want to set a bindkey to turn on "Zoom to object" while active Schematic Find form.

hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "<key>s" "schHiFind() schSchFindForm->schFindZoomButton->value= t") is not work if only click bindkey one time. 

  • hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "<Key>s" "hiEnqueueCmd(\"schSchFindForm->schFindZoomButton->value= t\") schHiFind()")

    Will do what you want. The challenge is that the schHiFind() function is blocking, so setting the form after it's run will have no effect the first time you run it. You can't simply set the form field before you run it, because the form is created the first time the command is invoked - so we need to enqueue the command to turn on the Zoom setting instead.

    There is a cdsenv setting which is supposed to set this field, but unfortunately it's been broken for a very long time (there's a long-standing change request to get it fixed; it's just not been prioritised yet).

    Regards,

    Andrew
