Bindkey for turning off the "Cross Cursor" in Layout

Arokia

Hi Team, 

May I please know how to turn off the "Cross cursor" in Layout using bindkey

I've tried the below, but it does not work for me

hiSetBindKey("Layout" "ctrl<Key>z" "leDisplayOptionsForm->options->cursorShape->value =  nil")

I've also tried the below 

hiSetBindKey("Layout" "ctrl<Key>z" "leHiEditDisplayOptions(\"options\;cursorShape\" nil \"Objects\")")

But still nothing happens. 

Thanks 

Arokia

  • Hi Arokia,

    If you are adamant about turning "Cross Cursor" off, this should work:

    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "ctrl<Key>z" "hiGetCurrentWindow()->cursorShape=nil")

    Keep in mind that this is just a window-specific setting. If you want a global setting, you may want to add a setting in the .cdsenv to automatically keep Cross Cursor off. 

    Of course, as a devout Andrew Beckett fangirl, I would be remiss if I did not warn you of a caveat when using the envSetVal. It is what he has referred to as "the last resort" for the lookup when opening a new window. Priority is the cellView's properties; if there are no relevant cellView properties, then the library's props are priority. If there are no relevant library props, then the technology library's properties are priority; if those are non-existant, then the .cdsenv finally gets to shine.

    Good luck - I'm cross-(cursor)-ing my fingers that this works for you & that you have fun exploring customizations!

    Wow, this worked, but when I tried the same for the dimming option it did not work Disappointed

    I tried the below.

    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "<Key>F12" "hiGetCurrentWindow()->enableDimming=nil")

    Thanks,

    This worked though 

    hiGetCurrentWindow()->dimmingOn=t

    or

    hiGetCurrentWindow()->dimmingOn=!hiGetCurrentWindow()->dimmingOn

    But now I wonder how to turn on Automatic dimming checkbox?

    Tried the below but did not work

    hiGetCurrentWindow()->dimmingAutoEnable=t 

    Thanks
