[UNMAINTAINED but probably works] Fusion 360 add-in to make it possible to add shortcuts for things that previously could not be shortcut

ShortcutItPy

/!\ This add-in is not actively maintained because I don't use Fusion /!\

It probably still works simply because it's not doing anything complicated. I can't really help with anything except what I remember because I can't run Fusion on my computer.

This small add-in for Fusion 360 adds icons to some commands and puts them in a panel so you can add shortcuts for them.

How to install it: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/fusion-360/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/How-to-install-an-ADD-IN-and-Script-in-Fusion-360.html

Currently the commands include:

• Isolate
• Unisolate
• Unisolate All
• Find in Browser (the add-in must be re-run after startup to list this, not sure why. The shortcut stays across startups though so it's not a problem)
• Find in Window (NOTE: both Find in Window and Find in Browser seem to only appear once a context menu containing them has been opened)
• Remove
• Activate Component
• Set Orbit Center
• Reset Orbit Center

If you want me to add another, please file an issue on this repository or make a pull request to add it.

Contributing

Thanks for the interest in this repository! To add a command, first find its name. I ship a script in DumpCmdDefs/ which can do this. Copy this directory into your Scripts folder and run the script. It will dump out all the commands with their internal IDs to a txt file.

Once you have found the command you want to add, include it in the needCmdDefs tuple in ShortcutItPy.py. This tuple is formatted in the following format: (CommandName, IconsDir). Commands need to have icons so the shortcut option is shown. If a command already has an icon, simply put None in place of the IconsDir as we don't need to add one.

Stop and start the extension in Fusion, then try the command. Not every command will actually work if you put it in a menu unfortunately. If it works, please commit it and send it in as a pull request! I'd love to see what is useful to you.
