Thinking about doing a LDCad 1.7 version

[Roland Melkert]

I'd like to see a configurable keyboard shortcut that would open the part bin display filter regardless of where the mouse is.  I'm usually finding parts by entering a part number in the filter, and having to mouse over the parts bin to open the filter feels slow.  Thanks for considering it!

F3 works while the mouse is inside the bin instead of just the filter text box area.

And if you want a global key you could make that happen by writing a small macro, like:

Code:

function runBinSrc()
  local act=ldc.action('partBinWin_filterOpen');
  act:run()
end

function register()
  local macro=ldc.macro('Global bin src')
  macro:setEvent('run', 'runBinSrc')
  macro:setHint("Open the filter dialog of the last used part bin.")
end

And then assign F3 to that macro using the hotkey configuration dialog (right click on the tool bar).
