Can I add custom keyboard shortcuts to Boolean operations?
-
What would be the easiest way to add custom keyboard shortcuts to some of the boolean operations?
-
@Boldline
View > Customize > Keyboard Shortcuts
Then, In 'Actions' section go to Object> Combine. Select an operation and add it to shortcuts.
-
@Boldline Here's how:
- choose 'Keyboard Shortcuts' from the VectorStyler menu;
- choose 'Multiple Selected Objects' from the Context menu;
- expand the 'Object' folder in the column on the right, then its 'Combine' subfolder;
- choose let's say 'Union';
- click the 'Add Shortcut' button;
- click the right side of the new entry, under the 'Shortcut' column;
- press the key combination you want to assign;
- click 'OK'.

@encart shows where to find keyboard shortcuts customization on Windows and I show where to find it on the Mac.

@b77 Oh I forgot @Boldline is on a Mac and there can be differences. Apart from that, your way is better because it relates directly to the context.

@encart @b77 Thank you to both of you! I appreciate the help. I was having trouble tracking them down for some reason

@Boldline It looks like if you add a shortcut with Option, you’ll get a composite object instead, so don’t use that if you want normal combine operation.
