Context Menu - Add User Defined Command List

  • 1.  Context Menu - Add User Defined Command List

    Posted 01-29-2021 17:50
    Enhancement request for the development team.

    Instead of only showing the recent commands in the context​ menu please consider adding some method for a user to "pin" commands to the context menu list.

    Good luck on getting any enhancement requests implemented. I use a G602 programmable mouse and Logitech or AutoHotkey macros to accomplish this.

    You may want to try something like this as well. https://www.elgato.com/en/gaming/stream-deck

    You can buy there product or download an app for a mobile device.

    Patrick, I've never understood why anyone would pay 150 buck for a device like that. Can those do something a $15 Bluetooth 10 key and AutoHotkey /Pulover can't?

    I see the advantage with the icons. Yes you can muscle memory a 10 key pad but it starts to get daunting. I am personally using the app because it is $3 a month and mobile friendly when I am in the field. Sometimes it all boils down to preference.

    The nice thing about the stream deck is you can customize the buttons with texts, icons, and layers commands. I find it easier than spidering around a keyboard but thats just me.

    Stream Deck looks really cool.  So with TBC, you map the keyboard shortcuts and screenshot the command images to use with the Stream Deck?  With the mobile app, does it connect to your PC via bluetooth?

    Correct. Allows you to map to more complex sequences too. 

    It connects via WIFI. Petty sloid. No real delay.

    Pat, I am probably going to get one of those.  Do you actually have one that you've been able to successfully use with TBC.  I assume it would work with TBC, but you never know what snags you might hit until you buy it.

    Even if it turns out not to be more useful than the gaming mouse with 17 buttons, at least just having on the desk might make other people think I'm smart lmao

    Wayne,

    I have just used the app on my phone but I cannot imagine the hardware would give you any issues. The only difference at that point is it is hardwired vs WIFI connection.  They do sell them through BestBuy and BestBuy is great about returns.

    I use a Razor programmable keypad. Here's a list/review of gaming https://guruverdict.com/best-gaming-keypad/

    Would love to justify a SpaceMouse https://3dconnexion.com/au/spacemouse/

    Don't forget you can add toolbars in TBC:

    Hi Rob,

    I use a SpaceMouse Wireless and I can assign free commands to each key. Just record the string as you would type it in TBC: F12+command

    Unfortunately the mouse does not work to navigate in the 3D window.
