View Toggle

Postby druban » Thu Jul 15, 2010 6:56 pm

Hi Everyone! This is in reference to using a keyboard shortcut to toggling the view from normal to outline and back, (having to toggle through other views is fine too). Currently this is ctrl keypad 5, but since I (and I expect at least a few others ) am using a laptop this option is not usable. I would like to rebind this but the command is not one of those that have a binding available, or I can't find it...
Any helpful hints ? Other than compiling my own build!
Your mind is what you think it is.

as long as i know shortcut the toggle view is just Ctrl + Keypad 5.
The other option maybe you have to buy Keypad. ;)

default keymapping/verbs for 'View > Display mode' menu items (Inkscape 0.47):

Code: Select all

  <bind action="ViewModeNormal"/>
  <bind action="ViewModeOutline"/>

  <bind key="KP_5" modifiers="Ctrl" action="ViewModeToggle" display="true" />
  <bind key="KP_Begin" modifiers="Ctrl" action="ViewModeToggle" />
Edit the file 'keys/default.xml' in the Inkscape share directory or use a user keymap file (%APPDATA%\Inkscape\keys\default.xml) to override the default bindings (I have remapped all 3 verbs to be able to quickly toggle between outline and normal view).
