hello

is there any way i can create a shurtcut key for turning on "All on" and "All off" on the Find Filter?

also i would like to be able to select "vias" only on the Find Filter by typing one shortcut key.

    The layer visibility has the easiest button clicks for turning "ALL ON"/ "ALL OFF". Pretty simple. You need to start experimenting with the tool and find out all the goodies.

    "Vias" - what's simpler that "all off" "vias on" in the find filter???

    thank you for your reply.

    what i want is to assign "all on" to one shortcut key.

    is it possible?

    i assigned a command like "via assign net" as funckey 2 "via assign net" on the env file so that i can simply type 2 to display the command.

    try typing scriptmode +e at the command line followed by a return then invoke the command you want, the command line will report back the actual command you used, in this example try funckey x QtSignal ColorVisibilityPane CVPGlobalVisOff clicked

    below is what I got to work in 16.6 using <Ctrl>Pgup and <Ctrl>Pgdn keys:

    funckey CPgup '(axlShell "setwindow form.find;FORM find all_on;setwindow pcb")'
    funckey CPgdown '(axlShell "setwindow form.find;FORM find all_off;setwindow pcb'
