Description

« Hide

the shortcut keys and variations of them do not hide/show the UI
CMD-OPT-F1 or CMD-OPT-Shift-F1 shortcut

Peculiarities:
cmd-opt invokes the focus/zoom i

cmd-0-
cmd-9
cmd-8 work fine

only way to hide UI is to go to advanced menu and use Advanced>Rendering>Features>UI
Others on machinimatographers group confirmed this.

Wehen you use the Advanced menu to get rid of UI, then you have to force quit the viewer in order to logout
It will not quit and no way to use the noted shortcut from the advanced viewer to show /hide the UI
thanks...
In case this helps to rule out anything...

Hardware Overview:
Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro3,1

System Software Overview:
System Version: Mac OS X 10.5.5 (9F33)

I can't imagine it has anything to do with the video card.. but it's
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT:
Thanks.

Ok, ive been doing some work on these shortcut issues, i found a couple things.

(Ctrl ALT same as cmd opt)
Any Ctrl ALT combination is already used by X or some window managers, also true on mac and was only reported there. ~~VWR-9473~~
ALT Shift Fn shortcuts have window manager conflicts too.
Ctrl Shift n is already used by some things in SL.
The = key does not register with any combination, at least in linux.

The only things left are Ctrl Shift Fn and Alt Shift n. Perfect to wipe out both these issues.

So i propose these changes.

Features menu options move to Ctrl Shift Fn.
Move that stray Reload pesonal settings overrides one to Ctrl Shift F12 (add a 1 to keep it simple and still stray )
Move Types menu options to Alt Shift n.
Move Particles to `.

As for the weird Particles one the = does not toggle it for some reason, i moved it to ` as a temporary solution. There probably isn't a best way to do this but someone has to make a decision, and some of these items probably should be moved around.

Posting this on VWR-9966, VWR-2085 ~~VWR-9473~~ and Attaching a master patch.

Ok maybe i made a mistake about MAC keys but this should fix it too regardless.

Hi HVX, we tried to open the patch at our triage, but we we're able to. Can you try re-attaching it? Thanks!

Cannot repro, CMD-OPT-F1 is working fine for me in OS X 10.5.5

Works on here:
I have just tried Cmd-opt-F1 on one older mac pro 1.1 (back from shop) running 10.5.5 with Readeon ATI1900 and shortcut works to hide/show UI

Does not work on here:
However, on a mac pro 3.1 with Geforce 8800 GT and 10.5.5 (same keyboards) does not work.
I mention that as someone told me it was the new little keyboard (wired) that was the problem...

I missed the email mentioning that I should attach the patch... actually, it wasn't my file... it was sent out by someone else on list. I believe to do with the macs freezing.
thanks - sure hope it gets fixed for both.

This works fine on my Mac Pro, 8800GT and mini Apple wireless keyboard.

I did have to hold down Fn as well as command-option, but this is expected in all apps using function keys since the function keys are screen, volume, etc controls by default.
