  • 1.  Keyboard Mapping in XPression

    Posted 08-10-2023 06:28

    I can save a keyboard mapping, but when I recall one in a different project, nothing happens. At least, I can't see the specific keyboard shortcuts I've made in the other project which I also want to use in the new project...

    I'm wondering about the use of being able to save the mapping?

    So you need to save a mapping profile rather than project for example here I have one called RED.

    Anything you add to this global key map rather than project will always be on that machine. 

    Currently these are saved in the installed folder as kbd files. 

    I know the product team are working on adding a feature to make these easier to move between machines.

    So, anything I've put in the "Projects Shortcuts" can't be recalled in a new project? That's a pity and I hope the project team can work something out to make it work...

    Anything in projects will only be in that project, correct. 

    Within Rocket Surgery we keep a base projects with shortcuts we regularly use and use that as the starting point for our projects so we always have them.

    Rob - if you move your mapping to Global shortcuts they will work no matter what project is loaded. 

    Currently the plan on the roadmap is to add keyboard map export/import to XPression as well as add it to Project Server Publish/Deploy.

    Is there a pre-existing hot key or is it possible to create a shortcut to open CLIP BROWSER?

    I would expect it to be in this list but it is not.

    It also has its own menu but doesn't seem like there is an option to open the menu

    That's correct Simon. Something simple, it would be nice to have this option available.

    If you highlight Clip Browser, there's an option to "Run all children actions when group triggered" but I don't want to trigger anything I just want to be able to Open and Close the Clip Browser faster.

    Hopefully Ross can later add this option.
