3d Coat Color Picker Hotkey Help

anglorum

Does anyone have any idea how to switch the hotkey that quick-picks the color you're hovering over in 3dcoat? It's set to v key, but that's a bit too far from where I rest my hands on the navigation keys.

If anyone has any clue how to switch that, that'd be awesome.

And just for clarification, I don't mean switching the hotkey using "end" because that switches tools, I need the one that just quickly samples the color you're hovering over a'la the alt key in photoshop.

Thanks!

BUMP! I'd also like to know! This sampling with V is really annoying and the only hotkey I can't figure out how to change in 3DCoat

I found a relatively easy way to re-bind this specific tool without using any third-party software (aside from Notepad)!

Here's a list of steps with visual aid:



As for step 3, considering the length of the hotkeys file, it will be easiest searching for old hotkeys doing a search of your letter between the >< characters. So, do a Ctrl F on >L< and it should take you right to any hotkeys related to L (or whichever letter you chose).

Woah, thanks dude. Mapped it to question mark and it works like a charm. You rock!

And thanks to Jessica for bumping the thread, figured I was never gonna get a resolution on this one!

I should note that certain special characters don't work. You cannot bind \ | . or >, and maybe a few others.

Awesome!!!! Thanks so much Bartalon, can't wait to try this tomorrow ^_^!

9 year thread necro, lets go

I vaguely remember what this was about. Basically if you save your hotkey file, you can open it up and manually edit the hotkeys. The way the hotkey file is formatted puts all hotkeys between <Code> and </Code> block elements, for example <Code>L</Code>

So if you know what hotkey you want to rebind, you can find it quickly by searching for >L<
