All Short Cut Keys for Editor

[Old_Warrior]

Is there one location where I can find all shortcut keys for the Editor?

Forgot what the key is for changing normal building to damaged.

Would like to have a sheet of all shortcut keys that I can reference.

Pressing “O” toggles on “damaged” mode from http://www.slithdata.net/files/bbc_ba/m ... _Guide.pdf

List is here down the page on Manual Additions - kindly done by Junk2Drive

It's also linked from the wiki.

Thanks much! I copied the full text from the second link you posted, Richcat. Handy info.

I think you should think you are supporting a multi platform application.
Some, or many, of the shortcuts doesn't apply on the MacOS.
In the debugger there are many option that just don't exist.
The expected improvement "- CTRL+S in the editor." should be cmd-S on the Macintosh.

[pipfromslitherine]

Which shortcuts are not applicable on the Mac? If you can give me specifics then I can deal with them, as I have already fixed a number of them. Note that Junk's list was built before the OSX version even existed.

On OSX both CMD and CTRL+S will work.

F3 - Debug current unit script
F4 - Debug AI script
F5 - Debug scenario script
SHIFT+3 - Toggles ground level view.
Pg Up/Pg Down – Free rotation of the selected object.
Home/End – Scale up/down the size of the selected object.

Y - Hitting Y allows you to then left click the two opposite corners of the area you want to map out.
You can then left click to tweak your area and it will reset the closest corner.
(can understand)

1 2 3 keyboard - Change rank of unit
(only works for the allied)


General: many users (Mac or PC) use laptops so a solution for some keys should be given.

The script debugging is unavailable on the Mac - it was unfortunately built using the Windows API rather than ingame and the time required to impement it on the Mac would be significant.

All the other keys should work on OSX (if they exist on the keyboard). Most laptops have Fn versions of missing 'standard' keys don't they?

Things like SHIFT+3 should work fine, so I will check them out.

The Y key allows you to define an area on the map, and then when you go into the resize map dialog it will have filled in all the values for you.

1 2 3 should work for both sides - I know that some of our internal missions have elite AI units, so I will double check here.

If you can clarify which keys just aren't working for you, and which keys are missing on an OSX laptop then that would be very helpful.

Not working
- SHIFT+3 - Toggles ground level view.
You give me an idea: in my laptop <ctrl-shift-fn-3> works. I never have seen this view, it's nice.

Missing
- Pg Up/Pg Down – Free rotation of the selected object.
- Home/End – Scale up/down the size of the selected object.

Others
- 1 2 3 keyboard - Change rank of unit (only works for the allied)
That one sometimes work, and some others no, can't isolate when it happens.

Also: "4" removes the mark above the unit, what is the purpose?

The Y key allows you to define an area on the map, and then when you go into the resize map dialog it will have filled in all the values for you.

Is like putting the values: hight width, and offsets and then resizing?
BTW, resizing has one of the nasty bugs of the editor (I sent you some time ago), will be fixed in next version?

I couldn't repeat the map resizing bug, so if you can give me a simple repeatable example, with which numbers I need to put in, then I can get it fixed. It seemed to work as expected for me.

4 sets the status of the unit to 3 (there are 4 states a unit can be in, but BA only uses 3 of them).

I'll try and look into the others. It's tougher for me to test as I don't have a Macbook any more (took up too much space on my desk!) but hopefully I can add some new aliases.

The resizing bug happens always, so it's easy to reproduce.
It happens on my two laptops and on another Mac of a friend, I do not know what happens on PC.

viewtopic.php?f=104&t=35329

- open a new BAM file put an object, or a unit in it
- go to resizing (+)
- change something (more width, height or anything else)
- resize the current map: yes

then try to place a unit or object, or to remove the already placed.

Any progress on the Mac side of things?

I was making another edit attempt today to get familiar with the Editor...deleting is easy now on the mac (thanks) but as Enric points out, I have run into other issues.

A big one is the rotation or things like roads. Page Up/Down don't exist on the wireless keyboard and after some research I should be able to hold the fn+up/down arrows to get the same effect but to no avail...nothing at all happens (without using the fn key, the up/down arrows simply move the map like w&s keys do).

I also noted that on resizing the map, it certainly acts buggy. Editing tiles for example seems to be very erratic, offset in weird ways from where the cursor is.

I'd really like to get into trying to make some scenarios and wish the keys were the same but would be happy with just the proper functionality mapped to the mac keyboard (then ideally hosted on the wiki as you have started).

Thanks in advance!

I'll try and get some additional aliases in to 2.1, but that won't be out until the new year now I don't imagine.

Ok, thanks Pip.

Not working

My MacBook (OSX 10.8.3) has Fn3 default programmed to 'move focus to the dock' so that's what CTRL-SHIFT-Fn3 does... It goes to the dock.
Is there another way to switch to the ground level view on a Mac?
