eagle.scr command question

[e.arckens]

In eagle.scr there is an option to use key stroke commands: what keystrokes are needed for this (example) command:

# Turn off everything but the unrouted airwires
Assign C+H 'DISPLAY NONE; DISPLAY 19;';

[e.arckens]

...might this be "ctrl+H"?

Maybe you are not understanding what eagle.scr is for.

You can assign multiple commands to a single key or key combination.

In eagle.scr there are different sections for the schematic Assigns (SCH:), board routing layout assigns (BRD:) etc.

To add your command edit eagle.scr, find BRD: and under it put the command(s), then save the file and those commands will be assigned to the key.

Your eagle.scr should contain the new assign and look something like this....

BRD:

Assign C+H 'DISPLAY NONE; DISPLAY 19;'

To activate it inside the Eagle Board Editor hold CTRL and H

This assign only works in the board editor. If you want other assigns in the schematic editor add them under the SCH: heading in eagle.scr.

btw you might also want to add an assign for showing all the layers again or a subset.....

BRD: 

Assign C+A 'DISPLAY ALL;'

Assign C+S 'DISPLAY 1;DISPLAY 16;DISPLAY 17;DISPLAY 18;DISPLAY 19;DISPLAY 20;'

Activate these with CTRL A or CTRL S

You can also use the UI to make assigns in the top menu Options / Assign.
