Creating shortcuts for commands 1

[TiagoFigueiredo]

I all,

I want to create some shortcuts, for not having to click on toolbar every time I need to use a command. I've defined the want shortcut, but I'm quite disapointed with the result. In CATIA for using once the command, we click the command just once. For keeping using it we need to double click it! And with shortcut I'm not able to do it. At least I didn't found of how to do it.

One command that I'm trying to do it, is the "constraint".

Any tip?

What shortcut would you like to create, what is the use of it?
Give us an example....

I'm guessing he'd like to create a shortcut that enables the Constraint command and keeps it active. In the way you double click on it.
I have my 3dconnexion cadmouse side button set to Constraint and Offset but I need to activate every time I want to use the command. It would be helpful if there would be a "sticky" shortcut.

Hi, unfortunately its not possible to keep active function from shortcut and you have to run it again. It would create some loop in catia because of other than sketcher shortcuts which also would be kept.

CATIA.StartCommand macro assigned to command with loop and possibility to press Esc to exit command?

I'm trying to make a shortcut with keyboard. If I assign a shortcut with keyboard, every time i need to use I need to repeat the keyboard's shortcut. With mouse, if we double click the command, it always remain active. Not with keyboard...

ferdo posted solution for you, without macro (which i understand you dont want to use) it not possible. You can make keyboard shortcut also for macros...

Would you do it With a macro?
I know how to do with macro. I was looking, if it was possible within software capabilities.

So how would you do it?
Being honest I'm not seeing how to implement Ferdo's idea.

"CATIA.StartCommand macro assigned to command with loop and possibility to press Esc to exit command?"

Will it work the same has double click?
