Axalea Toolbar & Shortcuts Editor

Axalea Toolbar & Shortcuts Editor

Win64, English

Axalea
Easily add commands to toolbars and manage your keyboard shortcuts. Add always-visible toolbar buttons. Combine with Extra Shortcuts add-in.

General Usage Instructions

To open the configuration window, go to UTILITIES → T&S EDITOR. Click Edit Toolbars & Shortcuts.... The configuration window is split into two main parts.

The left part of the configuration window shows a list of all available commands. On the top, it is possible to filter the list. The buttons on the bottom allows you to change the keyboard shortcut for the selected command and to run it (as if clicking on it in a menu). Double-clicking a command will also let you change the keyboard shortcuts.

Forced shortcuts overrides Autodesk® Fusion® shortcut handling and lets you choose shortcuts more freely and even use mouse buttons. Think of it as a layer "above" the built-in "normal" shortcuts. Forced shortcuts can be set using the down arrow on the button for changing keyboard shortcut.

The right part of the configuration window shows all toolbar tabs and panels in the current workspace. It is possible to explore other workspaces using the dropdown at the top. The button at the bottom allows you to change the keyboard shortcut for the selected command. Double-clicking a command will also let you change the keyboard shortcuts.

To add commands to a panel, select them on the left side and select which item to add them after on the right side. Then click Add. Note that existing/built-in commands cannot currently be edited and your commands will always be added after them.

On the commands in the list, the person icon indicates a user-added command and the pin indicates that a command is pinned in the toolbar. Each toolbar tab also shows the Favorites panel. This panel is the same on all tabs in the workspace.

Additional Information

What is the difference between Toolbar & Shortcuts Editor and Extra Shortcuts?

Toolbar & Shortcuts Editor lets you manage commands that already exist in Fusion and that allow their keyboard shortcuts to be assigned. Extra Shortcuts addresses the problem of actions not allowing keyboard shortcuts to be assigned.

Why can't I find the command for XYZ?
Unfortunately, not all actions have commands associated with them. Therefore they do not show up in the configuration window and cannot be assigned to toolbars or have their shortcuts modified. The add-in Extra Shortcuts seeks to overcome this problem by providing commands for those actions.

Why is the Favorites panel at the end of the toolbar?
Due to restrictions in the add-in interface provided by Fusion it must be done this way.

Can all commands be edited?
Currently, pre-existing panel items cannot be removed.

The configuration window keeps disappearing when I'm in the drawing workspace.
For some reason, Fusion puts itself on top if the mouse hovers over the drawing area. Try making the windows smaller or open the configuration window when you have another workspace active.

I pinned/unpinned a command in the Favorites panel using the ⋮ menu, but the change is lost after restarting Fusion.
Currently, pinning of favorites must be edited using the configuration window to be stored correctly.

How can I access the configuration window in workspace ABC?
The easiest way is to assign a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+M?) to open the configuration window. You can also add it to a toolbar in the workspace.

Why can't I purchase the add-in directly in the Autodesk App Store?
The App Store does not handle VAT. Therefore, an external provider is used.

Known Issues

  • There have been spurious reports for other add-ins that keyboard shortcuts get reset. If that happens to you, please detail what keyboard shortcut was assigned to what command. Also describe when it happened and what happened after you restarted Fusion after the event.
  • Sometimes Fusion will not show assigned shortcuts in the menus.
  • Pinning of commands in the Favorites panels must be done using the configuration window to be saved correctly.
  • Unfortunately, not all commands that are found can be run. Some might even crash Fusion.
  • Forced shortcuts will be in effect when the Console pane is in focus (advanced users).
  • Forced shortcuts do not work in the Drawing workspace.
