if you want to create a fullscreen mode, "just like toxik" --and i think there are no direct shortcut for that, u can do it using this code:
window -e -titleBar 0 $gMainWindow;
you can back to ur default maya "normal view with the titlebar"; use the same code, BUT:
window -e -titleBar 1 $gMainWindow;
or you can check the box in prefrences > interface [] show title bar in main window..
u can create a shelf button to toggle the operation above..
plus,
- to hide the maya main menus hit < CTRL + m >
- to hide the viewport menu press < SHIF + m >
- CTRL + spacebar but, you need first to point the mouse pointer on the view port then hit (ctrl + space)
** now the next shortcut is completely new in maya (2011):
if you have a lot of nodes in ur scene and you want to select one of them rapidly you can view them like a menu of nodes using this simple trick:
in the attribute Editor you will notice that ur nodes are listed as a tabs, and there are to arrows to scroll ur nodes , NOW DO THIS:
while scrolling --keep ur left-mouse-button on.. then press the right-mouse-button (both at the same time).. u will see then the whole list of used nodes as a menu..
nice day 🙂
