Exporting Mac shortcuts for a windows machine

Post by Joost »

Hi!

My intern would like to use my (Mac) TVP keyboard shortcuts to use on his Windows machine.
Is there a proper way to do this? I use some keyboard shortcuts that contain the "cmd" button, but I also use the "ctrl for a lot of my keyboard shortcuts. I presume there is no proper way to deal with this right?

And another question:
When I export my keyboard shortcuts, TVP suggests the same name and file I'm working in, including .jpg when saving as a text file. This also happened when I'm trying to export custom panels.
The must be a bug right?
And besides that, TVP get's stuck/crashes when exporting custom panels


Thanks!

I think it is related to this bug I reported (FX Stack bin export is not named correctly) - viewtopic.php?t=15321

Hello Joost, according to our tests, shortcuts using the CTRL and SHIFT keys will keep working when imported . However, anything using the COMMAND key will not be displayed/usable.

Thanks!

It would be nice to have it converted some way. Now we have to set every keyboard shortcut manually... But I see the problem. Probably no way to make a logical translation.

a suggestion could be:
Change all cmd to ctrl. If the ctrl is already taken, keep the original. Could this work?
