Custom keyboard shortcut for view modes

EvanReeseEvanReese Member, Mentor Posts: 2,186 ✭✭✭✭✭

I love this mode for making edge selections through objects.

I want to set it up as a keyboard shortcut. I hope I'm wrong, but it seems like I may need to set up two to hit in sequence to get what I'm going for ("unshaded", and "hidden lines visible"). Anyone know if there's a way to get this in one keyboard shortcut?

For now I can settle for "Translucent" mode but I like this one more.

    Have you tried setting up a command for each to be something like shift+; and shift+' or some pair of adjacent keys then when you want the view you can hit all three keys at once? This seemed to work on my end consistently so hopefully it will work out for you as well.

    hmm yeah that does seem to work, not ideal, but I'll probably get used to it and forget I ever cared. Thanks!
