[Fixed] Tools | Magnet Mask | Select/Deselect not working

[Fonte Boa]

<< I have explicit disabled all F1-F15 >>

As a non-coder, i cant understand what that means.
In my shortcut scheme, i use F1 to F9 keys to Tweak Axis Constraints (constraint to X, or to Y, or to Z, or to Normal, or to Element Normal Edges etc).
And there is no problem here.

Can i keep this scheme or should i forget F1-F15 keys??? This would be a pain....
Or i didnt understand that afirmation, Dgud and Micheus (i hope)?

No if they work keep them.

I have disabled to set new shortcuts with F1-F15.

Imported shortcuts from earlier wings-versions seems to work, that is good to know.

Dgud, do you really have to do this ("disabled to set new shortcuts with F1-F15")?
Those keys are very useful to set ergonomic shortcuts to be used by left hand, without left hand acrobatic combos or both hands combos...
Do you have indispensable reasons for this?

[dgud]

I think I can fix that, I had just forgot about it.

What was blocked was to set new shortcuts with F1-F15 but
usage of already set shortcuts should work so it is strange that it didn't for you.
F1,F2,F3 works while in tweak mode rigth?
Can you locate the line that sets the TOOLS/Mask/Select shortcut in your preferences
and paste it here.

Something like:
{{bindkey,{290,[]}},{tools,{magnet_mask,select}},user}.

Would be interesting to see what yours looked like?

This line set Tools|Magnet Mask|Select to Shift+F6:

{{bindkey,{287,[shift]}},{tools,{magnet_mask,select}},user}.

-----------

PS: After solve that conflict, I could set some Tools|Magnet Mask commands to Ctrl+F6, Ctrl+Alt+F6 etc in Wings 2.1.2.
If those keys were blocked, how could i set these combos?

[dgud]

Thanks, I can't answer that, should not be possible without a code change,
I need to test some more.
I still doesn't understand why SHIFT-F6 doesn't work, it works for me (on) linux,
when I changed the code to allow to set that as a shortcut.

I'll attribute it again to Magnet Mask|Select and will post here about.

Remembering when i erase one by one my Magnet Mask shortcuts, using Ctrl+Del, the only one i couldnt erase was exactly this one, Shift+F6 (i did this via preferences.txt editing).

[dgud]

Got it, thanks for debugging and help.

Dgud, during my lunch time at home, where i have 2.1.2 installed, i could try to attribute to Magnet Mask/Select the shortcut Shift+F6.
It wasnt possible!!
I was able to create another combos with F6, but not this one...

(i'll keep testing)

[Fonte Boa]

Dgud, after testing to create shortcuts to various commands (include Tweak commands and constraints), my conclusion is:
it is impossible in 2.1.2 to create any F1-F12 commands and any combo Shift+F1-F12 (other combos are possible, like Ctrl+F1-F12, Alt+F1-F12, etc).

The anterior shortcuts (like, F1, F2, etc, and Shift+F1-F12) are working fine.

Would it be possible to free up F1-F12 keys to create shortcuts?
