Windows Key in Softimage

[Falam]

I realized that there is one keyboard command that is not in Softimage Keyboard mapping, that is the Windows Key. If the Windows Key could be part of Softimage Key Mapping it would open up a whole new keyboard short-cut world I don't know if this has been mentioned before, or if I'm the first It would be beneficial, maybe only to me, I dunno

I think the whole concept of key assignment has aged like many other features have been. It should be way efficient if the developers make something like Maya and cinema 4D. For example C4D allows assigning any key to any command. In this way many possibilities would be opened for the users.

I have a big autohotkey script running for everything that's so not quite configurable in Windows.
You could map things like Win+mousewheel up to frame forward, win+mousewheel down to go a frame backwards. etc

You can't map internal Softimage commands with AHK.

Not directly no, I meant using obscure keyboard combos you woudn't otherwise map like ctrl+alt+shift+pos1.. pretty useful especially the mousewheel to scrub the timeline

I could assign the Windows key to a Softimage add-on using AHK, if so, very interesting, I have AHK installed, how would this be setup ? (It is a nice tool to have, I know you agree RRay) Mouse wheel to scrub the timeline, not bad

Especially using a mouse where you can switch off the wheel's mechanical snapping ))

I have startup.ahk file with everything in it in myDocuments folder and put a link to it in Windows Autostart, should be all that's needed. Inside the script, write something like

#q::Send !+{F9}

which sends ALT+Shift+F9 when Win+q is pressed. There's some syntax too which makes it active only in Softimage, but I don't remember this right now.

If you can remember, I would appreciate it. If I hunt down 'active commands for Softimage" within the AHK docs I won't find, anything

If you take a few seconds to look at the AutoHotKey FAQ, you'll find something that looks very much like the answer.
It took me 10 seconds to find it. I spent longer typing this message

I'll look again I'm just heading out the door so I rushed

just remebered ;) .. top of script write

#NoEnv
#MaxHotkeysPerInterval 5000
#SingleInstance force

SetTitleMatchMode 2
SetBatchLines -1
SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

bottom:

#IfWinActive, Softimage

^WheelUp::Send !+{Right}
^WheelDown::Send !+{Left}

and two scripts to move the timeline slider without logging...
