Hi,
How to set hotkeys for tab menu items(factory tab tools)?

Thanks!

Hi,

If it's a few items you want to assign hotkeys to, you can create simple template script in Python, drag this onto the shelf, and assign a hotkey to each of these items which could be limited to a pane like the network editor if desired, or invoked globally.

If you want something more sophisticated, I would recommend looking into this:

This is also how I created my context-sensitive rule-based hotkey system that allows me to customize all kinds of arbitrary actions, including creating new nodes, with a ton of custom behaviour for automatically connecting inputs/outputs, placement, layout and just general workflow improvements.

I shared some of the insights here, though it's a bit outdated now:

Thanks for your ideas!

Right click the tool in the shelf, and select edit tool.

Then go to the Hotkeys tab and click the edit button associated with the target pane type.

No need for a science project.

It is more simple. Thanks!
