How to assign keystroke to assign Renovation status?

Anonymous — Tue, 22 Oct 2013 05:01:31 GMT

I'm wanting to select objects and quickly assign them to one of the three Existing/Demo/New statuses, via keystroke.
I can't find any relevant commands to assign to a keystroke. Do they exist somewhere I've overlooked?

Thanks!

With the element selected, click the Tags and Categories button in the Info Box. Then you will have the Reno Filter field available for settings.

AS you probably know, you can go to the Work Environment Dialog and rearrange the position and order of panels in the Info Box for each Tool. So in case you use it a lot, you can bring the Tags and Categories panel closer to the front in the order of Info Box panels.
Sometimes I do this with the Element ID panel when I want to set the ID of many elements. Then I can simply move this panel back to its original place when finished. Or you can even save it as a new Tool Scheme to be able to switch quickly back and forth between the various Info Box panel layouts.

Thanks for the reply, Laszlo, but unfortunately I don't think it helps me.
I'm RSI-afflicted, so I need to keep my mouse clicking down to a minimum and assign as much to the keyboard as possible.

In Options > Work Environment > Keyboard Shortcuts, I can't find any relevant commands to which I can assign a keyboard shortcut.

I see.
Unfortunately the field is located within a Settings Dialog and it is not possible to set a keyboard shortcut to access a field within a Settings Dialog or the Info Box.
Keyboard shortcuts can normally be assigned to commands that can be placed onto a Toolbar or the menu bar.
