Re: Short cut keys for a menu option...

[Robert Rogerson <rrogerson@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mark,

I had a previous discuss with Aldon about the a-l-j option only being 
available in the rse view.  They told me that's the way their plugin 
works.  The object being created (the j in a-l-j) must be the selected 
object in the rse view.  I argued that it would make sense to create the 
object that had focus when in the editor view but they told me that was 
not how there plugin worked.

That's as far as it got.

Thanks,

Rob
