Keyboard shortcut for right-click menu items?

[bretwieseler]

Hello.

Is there a way to set a keyboard shortcut for actions like polyline/spline fit, or other such right-click items?

Thanks in advance.

commands that require a second prompt response to carry out unfortunately cannot in and of themselves be added in as a shortcut. But if you have a lisp function then that can be added in as a shorctut.

For example for Pedit Spline a simple lisp function could be:

(defun c:spf ()(if(ssget "I" '((0 . "LWPOLYLINE")))(command"_.pedit""_Spline""_Exit")(princ"\nNo Pline Selected."))(princ))

Now you can save this as spf.lsp & load it (load"spf") then you can add SPF as shortcut:

FYI, you can also place the lisp function into startup suite to load automatically:

Hi @bretwieseler ,

Why not to use one-letter key for selecting options inside such commands:

_pedit
Enter an option [Close/Join/Width/Edit vertex/Fit/Spline/Decurve/Ltype gen/Reverse/Undo]:

S+Spacebar for Spline,

F+Spacebar for Fit,

etc.

@paullimapa: Unfortunately, we used AutoCAD LT, so the LISP solution isn't an option.

@maxim_k: Ideally I would select the polyline and key in the shortcut without having to type anything else in.

Thanks for the ideas though!

Start CUI command:

Now select polyline and use Option+Command+S shortcut to Spline it.

The limitation is that only one polyline object can be selected at a time.

Thanks Maxim!
