Command Key Shortcuts for Editor Tools Free, Straight, Parabola, etc.

Post by LaudMusic »

Has anyone figure out a way to create keyboard command shortcucts for the Editor Tools states: Free, Straight, Parabola, Spline, etc. I've been putzing with Keyboard Maestro mouse clicks and can seem to get it to "kinda" work, but if it's not on the 1st (free) state, then it doesn't work.

I'd be much interested myself, does anybody found a way to shortcut them?

When we built one with keyboard maestro years back, needed a different one for each screen due to differing resolutions. (1080P, 4K etc) And once scaling was added to DP (which we LOVE!) we had to keep the scaling the same to accommodate the click drag points in the DP menu.

Right. I tried a demo of KM some time ago. It seemed to me that if your workflow included screen layouts and resolutions changes, KM doesn't do anything you can't do with the usual DP and macOS shortcuts.

Did I miss something?

Hey there Bays... Unless something has changed which i missed, DP and MacOS shortcuts cant pull down those types of internal app menus for the specific tools. But Keyboard Maestro can do that.

Thanks. I’ll have another look at it.
