Keyboard-Shortcuts for Manage, Edit Params etc

Hi there,
are there any Shortcuts for the new “manage” option and things like “edit parameters”, “export component” etc.?
In cornerstones help these parts are not mentionned.
If there are not, this is a feature request :wink:
Best regards
Uli

Probably some of them already exist? In WD Magic video #4 at 3:55 the speaker describes the different ways to open the “manage element” popup and says that he did setup a keyboard shortcut (CMD+E) to open it.
Does anyone know how to setup this shortcut? As I use windows, I can’t check if CMD+E works by default …

Hi Uli,

There is no option to set up a new shortcut, but you can find all the existing shortcuts in the following article.

Thanks

Hi tristup, unfortunately your answer does not help.

In cornerstones help these parts are not mentionned.

In the page you linked, there’s only one sentence about shortcuts:

You can see the list of keyboard shortcuts in Cornerstone > Help > Keyboard Shortcuts.

As I already wrote, the “manage element”, “edit parameters” etc. are not mentioned there - at least in my version 6.1.5.

Could you please have a look at

WD Magic video #4 at 3

and then tell me, how opening the “manage element” popup via shortcut can be done? Or ask the author of the video?

It seems that this is now the third case (UI Icons, additional font parameter videos), where things are mentioned in WD Magic videos, that do not exist (or do not exist for me). I am really not happ about that, it takes time to check all this and is quite frustrating to see, that things that look really cool in the videos are not available in real life.

Hey Uli,

In Max’s video about Web Design Magic, Kory created a custom binding to open the Manage Elements and Tools. In order to create your own shortcut, please follow the steps below:

First, you need to enable the dev tool kit under preferences.

Once the dev toolkit is enabled, go to Tools and edit the preferences:

To open the Manage Elements, you can use this code : "open:element-manager": "shift+p", you can set the key binding whatever you want.

To open the Dev toolkit, you can use this code : "open:dev-toolkit": "mod+shift+d", you can set the key binding whatever you want.

The preferences code should look like this one:

Hope that helps.

Hi Marc,
that’s exactly what I was looking for. And with this, I can copy / paste my settings to new projects. Great!

Is there any documentation of the syntax?

Will I have to define extra codes for WIN, as there is no mod / option key?

Can I use function keys here? Will “open:dev-toolkit” : “f13” work?

Best regards

Uli

Hey Uli,

I tested f1 and f12 and it worked.

Just for completeness, you need to Apply Changes and reload the builder.

If you take a look at the defaults like the Save action, mod is just the equivalent of ctrl in Windows. You don’t have to change it; it works out of the box. option is alt in Windows.

Hope that helps.

Hi Christian,

that works perfect - even with F13 / F14 and my Elgato Streamdeck (see here: https://theme.co/forum/t/keyboard-shortcuts-request/90681).

Helps me to get my workflow more convenient! Great!!!

Best regards
Uli
