Trying make a shortcut of this button


Recommended Posts

That is because there is no keyboard shortcut for that. :44_frowning2:

Generally, the keyboard shortcuts are for items in the menu, and in the Tools panel.  Or perhaps in the Toolbar in a few cases. They are not for items in the Context Toolbar.

Exactly why I'm trying to make one.

What I mean is there is no provision to make one.  There is for Break Curve & Join Curves in the Node Tool section of keyboard preferences, but not for the other 2 "Action" items.

There seems to be no real generally in the sense of a principle. It appears rather quite varying what commands, buttons, panel items got an menu entry and therefore allow a keyboard shortcut, either in main or in context menus. There are quite a few commands which are represented at several spots in the UI while others appear only exactly at 1 only. Compare "lock children" with for instance text alignments …

Dude!!   "Join Curve" is almost as good!   Sure you have to drag-select with the direct select arrow, but it still saves a few keystrokes.

"Node Tool section" - now it makes perfect sense.    =]

Thx much @R C-R
