Unable to change hotkey for edge loop in Max

PredatorGSR

This is driving me crazy and I'm hoping someone can tell me how to fix it. I'm trying to set a hotkey to select edge loop, but don't seem to be having any success. In the Customize User Interface menu I set the group to Editable Poly, and the category is All Commands. I go down to "Select Edge Loop", which shows the hotkey as Alt L, and change it to Ctrl Shift X, but when I try to use the hotkey, it doesn't work, and Alt L still does. When trying to use the hotkey, I am in Editable Poly mode. Other custom hotkeys work fine, but I seem to have this issue with all of the edit poly ones. I also found it listed in 2 other menus, but changing them there as well doesn't help.

Is there somewhere else I need to change it?

Try using "Select Loop (Poly)" under MainUI>All commands.

Yea, thats one of the other ones I changed too, but that doesn't seem to work.

Hmm. Try this:

Save this file and run it in max. Then go to "selectTools" and set a hotkey to "loop_select".

I have mine set to CTRL+Q (and W for Ring) and it works without problems...do you, by any chance, have 'Keyboard Shortcut Override Toggle' on? If so, your hotkey might work in editable Poly, but not in the edit Poly Modifier.

Hmm weird, I did have the override toggle on, but turning it off didn't do anything. But then I right clicked and converted my editable poly modifier to another editable poly modifier, and somehow that made the hotkeys start working. Bizarre.

Thanks for the help guys.
