hello, I recently upgraded for sketchup 2020.
Helping someone in another thread (this one) I noticed there was a problem related to french keyboard (maybe others, I couldn’t tell).
If we want to input an absolute coordinate, using the brackets [ ], on french keyboards we need to hold Alt Gr - 5. But with the new feature “toggle linear inferencing”, it prevents user from typing it. it seems the Alt Gr key acts on the toggling.
why is Alt Gr acting just like alt since it clearly says alt = toggle linear inferencing (not alt gr) ?
For Win 10 there is a utility called Power Toys written by MS engineers. In it is a keyboard re-mapper. It claims to be able to override the Windows shortcuts. I have not tried this feature yet. It may be worth the time to look at it.
perhaps, but other programs manage to make a difference between the two keys.
For example, in a adobe photoshop, alt key toggles the menu bar. alt gr doesn’t !
Yes. It is similar in SU when e.g. the Select tool is selected.
In Ruby the Alt Gr will return a key code of Ctrl AND Alt button. (both in a same time)
I can program the Alt and Ctrl if it will act only for my extension or leave it to “system” level.
But if I programming it wrongly, then this kind of behavior will occur.
So I guess, they did not act carefully enough when programmed the “toggle linear inferencing” function.
