How make transparencydisplay toggle

[ht23624]

How make transparencydisplay toggle keyboard shortcuts in cui? For example F1 key work  turn on off.

To me It looks difficult make toggle micro.

like this Toggles Polar Mode

^P'_.autosnap $M=$(if,$(and,$(getvar,autosnap),8),$(-,$(getvar,autosnap),8),$(+,$(getvar,autosnap),8))

Hi,

in tooltip you see the variable in question: TRANSPARENCYDISPLAY

in help you the valid values [F1] -> 0 off, 1 on

and also how DIESEL function IF works.

All together, you can create a Macro like this: ^P'_.TRANSPARENCYDISPLAY;$M=$(if,$(and,$(getvar,TRANSPARENCYDISPLAY),1),0,1) 

The part about keyboard shortcuts

You can create your own key-combinations or re-define an existing one.

(I wouldn't redefine a standard, but that'S your choice)

^P don't show the steps in commandline

' do it transparent - so a running command will not cancel by this macro

_ it follow the engl. commandname (this way, the command works in all language versions)

. use the original command (it is possible that plugins re-defined the normal command, the period forcing the original one)

TRANSPARENCYDISPLAY is the commandname (the englisch one)

; Semicolon is an ENTERhit in menumacros, to send the input to the program

$M= like send feedback to Acad/commandline / here starting a DIESELexpression

$(if, IF

$(and, AND

$(getvar,TRANSPARENCYDISPLAY), feedback/value of TRANSPARENCYDISPLAY variable

1 is 1

), end of AND expression, which is a test for "all values are 1"? to verify if transparencydisplay is currently set to 1 (or not to 1)

0, send 0

1 send 1

) end of IF expression

HTH

I found convenient to redefine Fx keys, those are most efficient toggles. BUT I would discourage from F1 specifically, just because it's the trouble one. There is some bug which prevents full HELP redefinition.

👍also redefine CTRL+C/CTRL+V CAN run into problems.

So, the simple rule is: Do not redefine standards.

The other side of that simple rule of thumb is:
Do you know how the program works in the standard version?

Can you help yourself?

Then do what you want 😊

Thank you very much. I think I can apply it in the way you told me. I always have trouble pressing the middle mouse button and panning. The middle mouse button is too hard. There is no suitable mouse. I would like to hear your valuable opinion. Should I do a lot of middle finger exercises?

I would further search for a suitable mouse, there are thousands.
