Comand H (Hide) on a Mac is disabled

Anonymous — Wed, 29 Jan 2025 16:45:10 GMT

I loose my command H quick key for hiding the Archicad after exporting my work environment. Have other Mac users experienced this problem? Anyway to get it back? I use command H all the time, but would also like to be able to export my work environment. Thanks for any feedback.

That's a system command, not an ArchiCAD command. Do you mean to say it stops working or disappears from your list?

Not for me.

command H is used to stretch so there is a conflict between ArchiCAD and the system

Aussieboy:

Say what?

As soon as I hit command-H ArchiCAD disappears.

Command-H no longer on USA version command list - always using the doggie pallet.

[Better than saying feline palette, but said instead with a word changed to improve alliteration - sort of like enjoying vegetarian dishes but preferring them with meat.]

For some reason I changed the shortcut for stretch. So maybe it does work now. I'll Have to check.

EDIT: sure enough command H hides Archicad. (probably why I had to assign a short cut for stretch)- thanks wonderboy:

My command H is there if I do a new and reset and load the default work environment. I can update parts of my work environment (everything except "command layout schemes" and the command H (for Hide) is available to me. However if I export a new work environment, the shortcut is no longer available. The shortcut functions correctly in all other applications.

No. And as you can see it is well and happy in other applications.

Mike:

I too lost the ability to Hide using command H (It's my stretch shortcut).

You probably already know this (it doesn't exactly "hide" Archicad or mean to solve your issue), but .... do you use the Expose' system preference? I use it all the time to "hide" Archicad (and everything else). F9-F10-F11 or set it for use with Active screen corners.

A bit off topic, but I just learned this tip for OS X: To zip/compress files and folders I always opened "Stuffit" and dragged file/folders to it.

Instead, you can compress from the finder window with: Create Archive of "file/folder".

Folks:

You can also look at:
http://archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/viewtopic.php?p=23162&highlight=hide#23162

From my dim memory: If you started with a recent default keyboard shortcut scheme (ArchiCAD 8 or 9), it was not possible to assign Command H to anything (the application will hide when imputing the key combination in the Work Environment, of course). For users wanting Command H for Stretch (ArchiCAD 5 or 6), they needed to go to the Work Environment and start with an older scheme that used Command H by default. I think if you start with an older scheme, Command H is gone for Hiding ArchiCAD, and will not come back even if you remove Command H from a keyboard shortcut. I just tried exporting my own Profile, but Command H remained for hiding ArchiCAD.

Hope this helps.

David

Thanks everyone. I had re-assigned stretch but had not removed the command H that is assigned by default. I had created this work environment on a PC where it wasn't an issue. Expose is great but I guess those old habits die hard and I still find myself using command H .
