Maya - custom marking menu with hotkey not working

Tzur_H

Hey all

I've made a custom marking menu with a hotkey for it..but it doesn't seem to work

I'd appreciate the help figuring what's wrong :]

This is "userHotkeys.mel" file:

//Maya Preference 2015 (Release 1)
//
//

hotkey -keyShortcut "1" -ctl -releaseName ("Modeling_ReleaseNameCommand");
hotkey -keyShortcut "1" -ctl -name ("Modeling_PressNameCommand");

This is "userNamedCommands.mel"

//Maya Preference 2015 (Release 1)
//
//

nameCommand
	-annotation "Modeling_PressNameCommand"
	-sourceType "mel"
	-command ("Modeling_Press")
	Modeling_PressNameCommand;

nameCommand
	-annotation "Modeling_ReleaseNameCommand"
	-sourceType "mel"
	-command ("Modeling_Release")
	Modeling_ReleaseNameCommand;

nameCommand
	-annotation "Modeling_R_ReleaseNameCommand"
	-sourceType "mel"
	-command ("Modeling_R_Release")
	Modeling_R_ReleaseNameCommand;

I've called my marking menu "Modeling"

I've accidentally pressed Ctrl + 1 + pressed LMB and the marking menu worked haha..any idea how to make it popup without LMB pressed?

As far as I know, Maya requires a mouse action for marking menus to work. I did try altering my own menus to see, but couldn't come up with anything.

Side note, I can't seem to assign a MM to the right mouse button. "-button 3" should work but doesn't.

Good to know. Thank you.
