Is it my imagination, or in the "old" DromEd couldn't I just move around in the wireframe viewing windows (i.e. top view, right view, front view) by using the NUM keypad? Then if I wanted to move the brush somewhere I would hold down Shift and use the appropriate arrow key.

I was trying to use 1.21 today and just pressing the arrow keys moves the brush. I can't seem to move around in the window unless I use
"teleport camera."

Is this deliberate or am I missing some easy tweak?


Thanks!

OK Here are the results:

Number key only - moves the brush.

Num key + Shift - moves the brush

Num key + Ctrl - expands or shrinks the brush

Num key + Alt - rotates the brush.


This is consistent whether or not the NUM LOCK feature is activated.

Well, I just checked with 1.18, and the use of the num-keys is the same in 1.18 as in NewDark. So, yes, it is just your imagination, or perhaps your installation is faulty. In either case, it never worked as you described in your first post.

@quolis: ctrl-shft-alt ??? That does nothing that I can see, in either 1.18 or New Dark. You sure that's not one of your famous personal key customizations?

Edit: My default.bnd (in both cases) has:
;edit bind keypad_end "num_scroll 1"
;edit bind keypad_down "num_scroll 2"
;edit bind keypad_pgdn "num_scroll 3"
;edit bind keypad_left "num_scroll 4"
;edit bind keypad_right "num_scroll 6"
;edit bind keypad_home "num_scroll 7"
;edit bind keypad_up "num_scroll 8"
;edit bind keypad_pgup "num_scroll 9"

So I think it is commented out by default and you un-commented yours (and customized it?). Maybe Phil_Solid un-commented out his too, way back when, and didn't remember to do so for New Dark?

Perhaps it only works when the view is Solo'd?

Great idea, I will go look at that old disc, thank you! :eek:
