Thanks so much for stopping by :)
There...Hi Daniel!<br />Thanks so much for stopping by :)<br />There are couple ways to add the shortcut. You can add it to your shelf or make a Hot Key.<br />I made a Hot Key for this script.<br />Here is how to create a hot key for this script:<br />- In Maya, Go to Window> Settings/Preferences > Hot Key Editor<br />- Once the Hot Key Editor window opened, on Categories, scroll down to User, this is a space where you can put your custom Hot Keys.<br />- On the mid, right hand side, click New.<br />- Here you can fill the name of the Hot Key command.<br />eg: Name: Ticker Colour<br />Description: change ticker colour<br />on Command line: fill it in with:<br /><br />$now=`currentTime -q`;setKeyframe;keyframe -time `currentTime -q` -tds 1;<br /><br />- Now go to the right hand side of the window, find Assign New Hotkey.<br />- you can set it to any hot keys you want. You can also click Query to check if the hot key that you assign is available or not. I set it to control+Shift+s on my mac.<br />- Once you feel comfortable with all the settings, click Save.<br />- The hot key should work now.<br /><br />Another way to do it is to put the shortcut on your shelf. I got this method from one of the mentors during make up q&a. This is how to do it:<br />- First, open the shelf tab that you want this script to be put on.<br />- Open Script editor.<br />- Go to Edit > Clear History. I would recommend you to clear the history first to avoid confusion.<br />- On the script editor, make sure that you are on MEL script tab and then copy-paste the script there:<br />$now=`currentTime -q`;setKeyframe;keyframe -time `currentTime -q` -tds 1;<br />- highlight the script<br />- Go to File > Save Script to Shelf. There is a short cut button for this, it is under the script editor menu bar, the 4th icon from the left.<br />- Wait for few seconds..The script should be on the shelf now.<br /><br />There is probably a better way to do it, these are the 2 methods that i know :)<br />If you know a simpler way to do it, i'd be more than happy to hear the new tips! I hope this answer your question and hope it helps. Please kindly inform me if the method did not work D:<br /><br />Cheers,<br />CarlinaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05840291036326211728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244684831573093201.post-49875933677377918552012-05-03T08:31:14.034+10:002012-05-03T08:31:14.034+10:00woah. I read beau´s way to do that, so it´s great ...woah. I read beau´s way to do that, so it´s great you both worked on that script.
