Ability to modify shortcuts for functions inside Extend, Step Build, Optimize

Ability to modify shortcuts for functions inside Extend, Step Build, Optimize

Currently there are shortcuts for the extend, step build and optimize commands. However inside of them the: create a polygon, drag edges, move vertex etc etc etc, they all have pre - assigned shortcuts that cannot be changed in any way. Confirmed by Autodesk.

 

These are very hard on the fingers and the wrist in the long term usage. These are tools that are used for retopology by every modeling user out there, countless of times a day. Try pressing ctrl alt shift 10000 times a day to move vertices.  It is very damageable for the health of the artist.

 

We want to be able to assign custom shortcuts for these functions as with every other command out there.

 

Thank you for voting this up. I think this is a serious and important issue that can be easily fixed.

I should go without saying that every command/tool should be assignable to a keyboard shortcut.

 

This should be part of Autodesk's 'programmer's styleguide for consistent user experience and workflow' - hope they have such a thing! ; ]

Has this been looked into anymore in 2019? I just started retopologizing again and after only one day my hand and wrist are all kinds of messed up.

As a handicapped, it's to me difficult to used the default hotkeys... That's will be awesome if this new feature could be added to 3dsmax.
