pymel.core.general.assignCommand

assignCommand(*args, **kwargs)

This command allows the user to assign hotkeys and manipulate the internal array of named command objects. Each object in the array has an 1-based index which is used for referencing. Under expected usage you should not need to use this command directly as the Hotkey Editor may be used to assign hotkeys. In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Flags:
Long name (short name) Argument Types Properties
addDivider (ad) unicode ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
Appends an “annotated divider” item to the end of the list of commands.
altModifier (alt) bool ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
This flag specifies if an alt modifier is used for the key.
annotation (ann) unicode ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
The string is the english name describing the command.
command (c) script ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
This is the command that is executed when this object is mapped to a key or menuItem.
commandModifier (cmd) bool ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
This flag specifies if a command modifier is used for the key. This is only available on systems which support a separate command key.
ctrlModifier (ctl) bool ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
This flag specifies if a ctrl modifier is used for the key.
data1 (da1) unicode ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
Optional, user-defined data strings may be attached to the nameCommand objects.
data2 (da2) unicode ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
Optional, user-defined data strings may be attached to the nameCommand objects.
data3 (da3) unicode ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
Optional, user-defined data strings may be attached to the nameCommand objects.
delete (d) int ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
This tells the Manager to delete the object at position index.
dividerString (ds) unicode ../../../_images/query.gif
 
If the passed index corresponds to a “divider” item, then the divider’s annotation is returned. Otherwise, a null string is returned.
enableCommandRepeat (ecr) bool  
   
factorySettings (fs) bool ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
This flag sets the manager back to factory settings.
index (i) int ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
The index of the object to operate on. The index value ranges from 1 to the number of name command objects.
keyArray (ka) bool  
   
keyString (k) unicode ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 

This specifies a key to assign a command to in edit mode. In query mode this flag returns the key string, modifiers and indicates if the command is mapped to keyUp or keyDown.

keyUp (kup) bool ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
This flag specifies if the command is executed on keyUp or keyDown.
name (n) bool ../../../_images/query.gif
 
The name of the command object.
numDividersPreceding (ndp) int ../../../_images/query.gif
 

If the index of a namedCommand object Cis passed in, then this flag returns the number of “divider” items preceding Cwhen the namedCommands are sorted by category.

numElements (num) bool ../../../_images/query.gif
 
This command returns the number of namedCommands in the system. This flag doesn’t require the index to be specified.
optionModifier (opt) bool ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
This flag specifies if an option modifier is used for the key.
sortByKey (sbk) bool ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
This key tells the manager to sort by key or by order of creation.
sourceUserCommands (suc) bool ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
This command sources the user named command file.Flag can appear in Create mode of commandFlag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.assignCommand

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

import maya.cmds as cmds

# Print out all the names of the named command objects and the
# hotkey attached to them.
#
count = pm.assignCommand(query=True, numElements=True)
print ('There are ' + str(count) + ' named command objects.')

for index in range(1, count+1):
        keyString = pm.assignCommand(index, query=True, keyString=True)

        displayString = '(';

        if 0 " len(keyString):
                if "1" == keyString[2]: displayString += 'Ctrl+'
                if "1" == keyString[1]: displayString += 'Alt+'
                if "1" == keyString[4]: displayString += 'Command+'

                displayString += keyString[0]

                if "1" == keyString[3]: displayString += ' Release'

        displayString += ')'

        print pm.assignCommand(index, query=True, name=True), displayString
