How do I Extreme Key Customize?

How do I Extreme Key Customize?

How do I Extreme Key Customize?

(OP)
I've been looking and can't seem to find a way to further customize my hotkeys in Solidworks 2006 SP3.1. I know ppl do it in games where there is a certain file in the game's folder that they can simply open up in Notepad and re-bind the Hotkeys. I know I can do it normally in the Tools>Customize>Keyboard but that is limited. I want to be able to re-assign my Ctrl, Alt, Tab, Shift, etc keys to something else.

Does anyone know if this is possible?

RE: How do I Extreme Key Customize?

All of the customizable keys are kept in the registry, there is no editable file.  I don't know of a any way to do it.

RE: How do I Extreme Key Customize?

Issues of customization are my biggest headache with SWx. It'll only let you do thing to a point... then you probablly need access to the sourcecode to make changes... It seems to me like they could make it more flexible...

(sorry for the rant)!

Try writing a quick macro. Then assign it to any key you want. If this works for your great.

The macro idea sounds possible, but now how do you bind keys with a macro? Anybody have code examples?
