Besides loving working with vvvv I struggle a lot with keeping my patches clean and organised. Especially when the lines are not 90*.
I would love a shortcut that sets all links to pins in a 90° angle from the origin of the pin.
I suggest ctrl + X because it is easy and fast to reach with your left hand.
Ctrl +X is cut in most software that support cut and paste. So another shortcut is probably better.
Oh yeah thats true actually :/
Or even something like alt + c.
vvvv has lots of shortcuts already, maybe it would be cool if we could assign our own.
Although I do like the fact that I can show up at your installation and my muscle memory will not get me in trouble.
I think this is an opportunity for suggesting a shortcut editor and having the option of sharing the settings. Imagine that you can make your own set of shortcuts and make them available in the editor, this way I could just pick my own settings when I visit your install.
If it could even rank the custom settings somehow, so good setups get “upvoted” like on eg. reddit.
Not sure I would put it in the top of priorities for the Devvvvs though.
Have you tried enabling Snapping in the settings?
Yeah a shortcut editor would be great. I mean we all have different preferences and often this makes the process of working with a tool even more enjoyable.
But as you said it is also a good point that when somebody opens my patch hey can open the shortcut browser and quickly see which shortcuts are changed! Maybe highlighted the ones that aren’t the default.
I also like the idea with a file that you just drag and drop or and then you can “overwrite” the shortcuts / or you can even select in vvvv which shortcut file you want to use.
Link snapping is currently only available in previews.
I think this request is the same like the one from @tobyk some time ago?
In any case: +1! Would be great if Ctrl+L would automatically align nodes with the pins they are connected to.
Yeah. But i think it would be more comfortable to have one that you can do with one hand instead of needing to get the hand of the mouse.
