# Nuke shortcut editor

`shortcuteditor` is a keyboard shortcut editor for

[Foundry's Nuke](https://www.foundry.com/products/nuke)

It allows you to quickly bind keyboard shortcuts to existing menu

items without writing Python code

Watch the [first episode of Lars Wemmje's "Useful Nuke Tools"](https://vimeo.com/channels/nukepedia/135306112) for more details!

## Installation

Put `shortcuteditor.py` on PYTHONPATH or NUKE_PATH somewhere (probably

in `~/.nuke/`)

    mkdir -p ~/.nuke

    cd ~/.nuke

    curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dbr/shortcuteditor-nuke/v1.3/shortcuteditor.py

Then in `~/.nuke/menu.py` add the following:

    try:

        import shortcuteditor

        shortcuteditor.nuke_setup()

    except Exception:

        import traceback

        traceback.print_exc()

## Notes

The shortcuts overrides are saved in `~/.nuke/shortcuteditor_settings.json`

You can search for menu items either by name ("Search by text"), or by

existing shortcut ("Search by key"), or both (rarely necessary)

There are a few shortcuts you cannot (easily) override in the viewer

context, specifically things like the r/g/b and z/x/c shortcuts are

hardwired.

If you are changing an existing shortcut, be sure to clear the old usage of

the key. A popup appears to help with this if adding conflicting shortcuts.

## Future improvements

For a list of requested and planned features, see the project's issue tracker

on GitHub, https://github.com/dbr/shortcuteditor-nuke/issues

## Change log

* `v1.3` - 2021-08-10

  * Small fixes to support Nuke 13

* `v1.2` - 2020-08-12

  * Updated to support Nuke 11 and 12.

  * Warns when overriding an existing shortcut ([PR #12](https://github.com/dbr/shortcuteditor-nuke/pull/12) by [herronelou](https://github.com/herronelou))

  * Added button to export the key-overrides as a Python snippet.

  * Faster UI update for searching

* `v1.1` - 2014-08-23

 * Fixed error in error handling when a shortcut is added for a menu

   item which disappears.

 * `nuke_setup` method works as expected when installed earlier in

   NUKE_PATH. Previously it might run before some menu items were

   added, so the shortcut was never set.

* `v1.0` - 2013-10-09

 * Initial version
