Defining Custom Shortcut Keys on OrCAD Capture CIS v17.2

i have do it , my be you could reference code below

###########################################

# asume shortcut key set as Ctrl+W
##########################################
proc shortcutSetInit { } {
set shortCutArray {
{"select Entire Net" "Ctrl+W" {MenuCommand "14844"}}
}
shortCutSetAll $shortCutArray
}

proc shortCutSetAll { LshortCutArray } {
#puts "gos scs do"
set shortCutArray $LshortCutArray
set shortCutLength [llength $shortCutArray]

for {set i 0} {$i < $shortCutLength} {incr i} {
set shortCutElement [lindex $shortCutArray $i]
shortcut_RegisterActions $shortCutElement
}}

proc shortcut_RegisterActions { shortCutElement } {
set lEnableDS 1
set shortcutName [lindex $shortCutElement 0]
set shortCut [lindex $shortCutElement 1]
set shortCutCommand [lindex $shortCutElement 2]
set enable $lEnableDS
RegisterAction $shortcutName "::shortcutSet::shortcut_Enabler" \
$shortCut $shortCutCommand "Schematic"
}

proc ::shortcutSet::shortcut_Enabler {} {
# Get the selected objects
set lEnableDS 1
return $lEnableDS
}

shortcutSetInit

Hi Tenny,

Much thanks for your reply.

I have other questions:

1. Where do I locate the file which I will edit to include the reference code?
2. Is there a list of commands possible for remapping?
   For example, MenuCommand "14844".
   If I want to make a new shortcut for another command, how do I know which menu command number/ index to use? (ex: "14844") 

1. you should rename the file  shortcut.tcl. and put it in capautoload directory

2. you should turn on the command display in command window use follow command , then you will see the menucommand when you operate.

SetOptionBool Journaling TRUE

SetOptionBool DisplayCommands TRUE

Thanks Tenny!

I have set both Journaling and DisplayCommands to TRUE and now able to see corresponding MenuCommand indexes, like "14844" when using the "Signals" function.

I created a file named shortcut.tcl under the folder C:\Cadence\SPB_17.2\tools\capture\tclscripts\capAutoLoad

But I get the following error at startup of Capture CIS:

Loading C:/Cadence/SPB_17.2/tools/capture/tclscripts/capAutoLoad/shortcut.tcl
Error loading C:/Cadence/SPB_17.2/tools/capture/tclscripts/capAutoLoad/shortcut.tcl: invalid command name "proc ::shortcutSet::shortcut_Enabler"
while executing
"proc ::shortcutSet::shortcut_Enabler {} {
# Get the selected objects
set lEnableDS 1
return $lEnableDS
}"
(file "C:/Cadence/SPB_17.2/tools/capture/tclscripts/capAutoLoad/shortcut.tcl" line 34)
invoked from within
"source $lFile"

Here is line 34 of shortcut.tcl:

Thanks again in advance.

Look like namespace issue.

Add below at the begin of .tcl file.

namespace eval ::capMenuUtil {} 

Update: Don't try this way, capture22.1 crash everytime when i press ctrl +W.

Look like you have you have namespace shortcutset but you have not used for proc shortcut_RegsiterAction? Try porc shoructset::shortcut_RegsiterAction also for shortcut_Enbale pass try to pass argument "args" only.
