    Make it a macroscript in order to call a script with hotkeys.

    macroScript MyMacroName
    category:"MyMacroCategory"
    toolTip:""

    rollout myRoll "switch lod" width:149 height:164

    Just name the macroscript, category, and tooltip whatever you desire. After that evaluate all and open up the keyboard/hotkey editor. Customize>Customize User Interface>Keyboard. Find the category that you used in the drop down menu and then assign your desired key from the actions panel.

    Just name the macroscript, category, and tooltip whatever you desire. After that evaluate all and open up the keyboard/hotkey editor. Customize>Customize User Interface>Keyboard. Find the category that you used in the drop down menu and then assign your desired key from the actions panel.


    I'll get access to the button through   "tooltip"  ?

    No, the tooltip line is left blank in the script as there is nothing between the "". Adding your text in here will pop up as a tooltip if using a button.

    The first 2 lines ensure the script will appear in a custom category of your making in the customise UI list.

    To assign a button you can just select all script text in the editor and drag it into a button on the UI.

    I do not need to make a button, I want to do hotkey for button 'bm1,'bm2' e.t.c  in script

    I,  I added your scipt, and it just created a new category  "MyMacroCategory" in  Group main ui. I can only  set a hotkey for run script, but i don't have any actions for my bottoms. https://pp.userapi.com/c845521/v845521990/9a934/BQa_hDpx2Xg.jpg

    So from your image can you not press that key combination and launch the LOD window? What functionality are you looking for otherwise?

    Edit: If you're trying to get those bm1, bm2, etc. to be their own keys that is different functionality that is beyond my scope unfortunately.

    If you want those button to be able to call with its own hotkey, you can put the function into a 'struct' and defined it as global variable. Then you can call them within a macroscript like @zachagreg mentioned above.
