pyrochild Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 In the Paint.NET source, I noticed that there used to be (or at least it looks like there used to be) the ability to make Adjustment Effect plugins have shortcut keys. Just wondering why this was and if there's any chance of it making a comeback in a future version of Paint.NET. Thanks! Pyro.

barkbark00 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I know that some of Ed Harvey's plugins allow for a Shift key constraint on his angle dialog... Quote Take responsibility for your own intelligence. 😉 -Rick Brewster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrochild Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 I know that some of Ed Harvey's plugins allow for a Shift key constraint on his angle dialog... That's easy to implement, actually. I'm talking about a shortcut key that would open my effect's dialog from the main pdn form. (Like Ctrl+L opens the Levels dialog) Quote ambigram signature by Kemaru [i write plugins and stuff] If you like a post, upvote it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Shortcut keys are not allowed for plugins anymore because it is too easy for them to stomp on the shortcut keys that are either already in use, or that we would want to use in the future for anything else. You'll note that only adjustments have shortcuts now, but that the adjustment itself does not specify its shortcut key. This is specified in the AdjustmentsMenu class. So, think of it like this. What if every plugin registered for the same shortcut key? It's just not a system that scales.
