My third post-release Quick Drop keyboard shortcut is now available on the NI Community website. This shortcut allows you to perform all the options in the right-click > Create... menu with your keyboard. You can perform these operations with one or more objects selected. For example, you could select several control terminals on the diagram, press Ctrl-Space, type reference, and press Ctrl-A, and a control reference will be created for each one, just as if you had right-clicked them individually and selected Create > Reference on each one. Check it out and let me know what you think:

Nice work. Could you add the Ctrl-Shift-B functionality, such that (for example):
ReplyDeleteSelect terminal
Ctrl-Space
type "property.disabled"
Ctrl-A
creates a Disabled property node for the selected terminal?
That's a cool idea, Jason. I don't know when I can get around to making that change, but I'll keep it in mind. Actually, now that I think about it, the B and A shortcuts that I've posted on the community are not password-protected, so if you want to try to make that change yourself, I can post your updated shortcut VI... :)

Could be a fun challenge after the CAR is addressed.
