Some command lines not executing

[liderbug]

I can type "LI", click, move, click and I've got a line. Or "RE", click, drag, click - box. But I can type "DZ" all day long and nothing. I have to go into the menu [top], Mod., Bk&Seg. now I have "DZ". There are several other command line options that don't work either. It's just so easy to: right hand mouse, left on keyboard, zip-zip, whip-whip - then - stop, ... menu, back, back, sel, sel, click. Am I doing something wrong? not avail? a ... feature?

Thanks
Chuck

Hi,

just to be sure - we are talking about "Break out Segment" = D2 ...?

[andrew]

The key code for "Break out Segment" is indeed D2 (D like 'Delta' and the number two). The tool was previously called 'Divide 2'.
Which other key codes do not work?

@andrew
Just curious. Why are not all shortcuts listed in Application Preferences / General - Shortcuts and Commands? e.g. Modify is complete missing ....

Woops, my bad - DZ # D2 When I did the mouseover the icon it saw "Breakout DZee" upon closer exam......

... and why I can't use the command line for e.g.

Unknown command or invalid coordinate or value: 'gy'
Unknown command or invalid coordinate or value: 'gb'
Unknown command or invalid coordinate or value: 'gv'
Unknown command or invalid coordinate or value: 'gp'
Unknown command or invalid coordinate or value: 'gl'
Unknown command or invalid coordinate or value: 'gc'
Unknown command or invalid coordinate or value: 'gm'
Unknown command or invalid coordinate or value: 'gs'

Command: za, Command: li etc are fine working
What I'm doing wrong ...?

Been thinking about this and just hitting the key codes works fine to activate these window dialogs, the command line is not needed here.

Thanks Clive,
Now I figured out that the Command line doesn't takes any of my mentioned key code
Just hitting the key codes - yes works with lower case letters but not with the upper case letters.
If I use the command line for other key code like DH it doesn't matter lower or upper case. Confusing!

[andrew]

Basically keycodes and commands are independent settings.
Most tools can indeed be triggered through a command that is identical to the keycode but for some tools that is not the case. This has been fixed for the next release, so that all tools can be triggered through a command that is identical to the keycode.

Nice! Thanks!
