How to bind a custom function to a specific action?

ingalfo
Hi, I’d like to execute a specific function that I defined whenever a certain action is performed. For example, I’d like it to run println("I selected a net") every time I select a net in the schematic. What’s the most effective way to do this? I know, for instance, that the schSingleSelectPt() function is executed on a mouse click—how can I hook my println to that function once it’s been called?

    procedure( mySelectNet()


    let( (selectedObjs)


    schSingleSelectPt()
    selectedObjs = geGetSelSet()

    foreach( obj selectedObjs


    when( (obj~>objType == "line" || obj~>objType == "path")


    printf("I selected a net. (Net Name: %L)\n" obj~>net~>name)


    )


    )

    t

    )

    )

    hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "<Btn1Down>" "mySelectNet()")

    There's no general method for doing this. In some cases triggers are provided (although not for selection - the layout editor has a selection filter trigger which can sort-of do this, but not the schematic) - I would have suggested the bind key change as given above by
