Is there a way to create custom hotkey.csv files for different desktops? Or maybe assign a hotkey to change hotkeys? I wanna be able to change my custom hotkeys to grooming tools when i do grooming and terrain tools when i do terrain. Is it possible to do this?

Yes you can do this easily, you just have to create different CSV files and implement the logic to load different ones based on some mode that you can store for example.

Check utility_hotkey_system.py

def __load_actions():
    if showstatus:
        print ("Reloading hotkeys...")

    global __actions
    __actions = defaultdict(lambda: defaultdict(list))
    with open(hotkeysfile) as f:
        reader = csv.DictReader(f)
        for row in reader:
            for context in ("OBJECT", "SOP", "VOP", "DOP", "COP2", "CHOP", "SHOP", "DRIVER", "TOP", "LOP"):
                if row[context] != '':
                    __actions[context][row["Key Name"]].append(row[context])
__load_actions()

this.fs_watcher = QtCore.QFileSystemWatcher()
this.fs_watcher.addPath(hotkeysfile)
this.fs_watcher.fileChanged.connect(__load_actions)

showstatus = True

Perhaps OdTools also override the nodegraph hooks? That would be my guess.

Is it possible to use overlay menu in network view list in lists? I wanna create a list that includes 
mn:[('op:heightfield', 'H')]
then create heightfield noises list with 
mn:[('op:heightfield_noise', 'N')]
in the heightfield menu that i just created.

I'm trying something like this but no luck
mn:[('Heightfield', 'op:heightfield', 'H'),
('mn:[('Heightfield_Noises', 'op:heightfield_noise', 'A')]', 'N'),
('op:heightfield_blur', 'B')]

Hey there, I've been really enjoying the addon so far.

Just one question I haven't been able to figure out yet. In the Advanced UI Customization video you mention the ability to use shortcuts to toggle open/close some of the other panes, like the geo spreadsheet. Are there default shortcuts you have created to do that or do I need to set them up myself?

Also, is it possible to set the network view overlay to toggle off/on without having to hold down the spacebar to see the 3D viewport? For example, press spacebar once to turn off the network view overlay and show the 3D view, and then another spacebar press to bring it back?

Thanks!

You mean different configurations of the same node? If so yes, you can invoke presets from anywhere include the menus.

My latest H key is like this where Group Highlight is AttribWrangle preset.

H,,"mn:[('op:groupcombine', 'C'),
('op:groupcopy', 'Y'),
('op:groupdelete', 'D'),
('op:groupexpand', 'E'),
('op:groupexpression', 'X'),
('op:groupfindpath', 'F'),
('op:groupfromattribboundary', 'B'),
('op:attribwrangle(Highlight Group)|Group Highlight', 'L'),
('op:grouppromote', 'P'),
('op:grouprange', 'A'),
('op:grouprename', 'R')]","mn:[('op:bbox', 'B'),
('op:relbbox', 'R'),
('op:primuv', 'P'),
('op:primnormal', 'N'),
('op:intersect', 'I'),
('op:intersectall', 'A'),
('op:minpos', 'M'),
('op:xyzdist', 'X'),
('op:displacenml', 'D'),
('op:surfacedist', 'S'),
('op:ingroup', 'G'),
('op:texture', 'T')]",,,,,,,

These hotkeys I configured using Supercharged shelf buttons that was created. So you can assign your own hotkeys if you are not using my overrides, where some of the tools are:

    <memberTool name="toggleOverlayNetworkEditor"/>
    <memberTool name="toggleNetworkEditor"/>
    <memberTool name="toggleDetailsView"/>
    <memberTool name="togglePerfMon"/>
    <memberTool name="toggleParameterEditor"/>
    <memberTool name="toggleSceneView"/>
    <memberTool name="toggleSceneRenderView"/>

The default key for toggling the overlay network editor is ` (tilde) key but you can assign Space too. Because Space key is a special volatile key. So if you want to do this, open up the HOUDINI_USER_DIR/animatrix/overlay network editor/python3.9libs/pythonrc.py and change this line:

useVolatileSpaceToToggleNetworkEditor = True

to:

useVolatileSpaceToToggleNetworkEditor = False


Hope you enjoy it!

Both actually. I want to assign a hotkey for opening a menu like this

-- Press the menu hotkey H --

--Heightfield_Nodes, H
--Heightfield_Presets, P
--Heightfield_Noise Presets, N

-- Pressed P --

I--Heightfield_Noise_Default, H
I--Heightfield_Noise_Low_Freq_Preset, P
I--Heightfield_Noise_High_Freq_Preset, V

A menu that opens another menu that opens another menu with custom node presets.

Image example attached.

I see what you mean. By default the built-in menu system only supports one level. It would likely need to be extended further to support multi-level menus. You can edit the performAction and executeActionString functions inside utility_hotkey_system.py for this.

Is it possible to add ALT key as a volatile key for viewport instead of space key for overlay network view?

You can use the setVolatileKeys(keys) function:
https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/hom/hou/NetworkEditor.html [www.sidefx.com]

I have a feeling just the modifier key by itself might not work but it's worth a try.
