hey Ben,
nice one! just tried it right away as it's one of those things i've ever
wondered why it's not built-in by
default. i got a few questions/remarks:
- wouldn't it be possible to add some function that checks whether a
shortcut is already in use and
warn/ask the user before setting it? would save the "hassle" of
searching for it before-hand.
- the href link to the git repo on the nukepedia page is broken. it's
missing the colon after 'http'
- the widget is insanely slow on my machine. after launching it from the
menu it takes around 15 secs
before the panel shows up. searching for a key also took around the same
time. this is on WinXP 64,
Nuke 6.3v7. in Nuke 7.0v8 it was much quicker, basically normal GUI
speed. i guess, there's nothing
i can do about it?
btw, and also thanks for tabtabtab. been using it for a long time now
and it's definitely something that
should be in basically all the software i'm using ;)
cheers,
Holger

A simple GUI which lets you quickly assign/override keyboard shortcuts
for (almost) anything in Nuke.
Nothing that cannot be done in your menu.py with a few lines of code,
but since writing it the other day I've already assigned keys to a bunch
of things I've been "meaning to do for ages", but never did..
Secondly, something I wrote 2 years ago(!?) and am still using constantly,
http://www.nukepedia.com/python/ui/tabtabtab
It's similar to the default "tab" shortcut thingy.. but it does
substring matching (so "blr" matches "blur"), and weights your most used
nodes first (so if I make the useful "Add [math]" node often, it appears
higher in the list than "Add 3:2 pulldown")
Also it lets you invoke any of "File" menu items, so you can do
"[tab]Import script" instead of searching around the "File" menu for it.
Useful for things which you don't use regularly enough to merit a
keyboard shortcut, but might buried deep inside the Edit>Node menu somewhere
