Hello,

I have been recently trying to do some work using the split-view setup. Everything looks good, except I can't figure a way to quickly select a viewport I want to work with. I found two ways to select the viewport: (a) by using the display context menu, and (b) by using the “n” shortcut key, which would be fine, if it weren't necessary to position the mouse in a very small area, where the context is right and the key works.

Is there a way to force the viewport-select shortcut key to work all over each viewport area, rather than just over the display & cam menus?

And, is there a config option to activate each view in the split-view layout automatically, upon clicking/performing any action with the mouse in a given viewport? This is the behavior typical to other 3D apps, so I'd assume that SideFX must have had a good reason to decide for a more explicit viewport selection - I wonder why this way?

Thanks,
Greg

In the past, it was space+x over the split viewport to select one to be made active.

Thanks,

Nowadays x (and space x) seems to be snap to grid.

I've discovered that clicking a mouse anywhere on the display/cam menu also selects the viewport WITHOUT marking it active (i.e. no change of color of the display/cam menu). A bug?

There appears to be a bug in recent 10 builds w.r.t. viewport selection. ‘n’ and space-'n' should always work anywhere in a split view.

the ‘n’ hotkey should be fixed in 10.0.303… sorry about that..

Thank you! Now it works great.

This has also fixed quite annoying issue of the hand-cursor in the network pane - now the pointer reverts back to an arrow 8)

Thanks again,
Greg
