Title: Shortcut for "Add Related Elements"
Post by: Paolo F Cantoni on September 05, 2008, 03:50:38 pm

How can I add a keyboard shortcut for the <vertex context menu>|Add>|Related elements... menu item?  Since it doesn't appear on the main menu list, it's not on the list of commands.

TIA,
Paolo

Right you are Paolo,

And no surprise, of course, yet again.

I get the impression that any of the commands that don't appear in the menu share this limitation.

Why some commands persistently appear only on context menus - or only on the main menu - is a mystery (at least to me). There are likely some cases where 'classical' UI design dictates that a command should only be on the main menu, and [or, as the case might be] should have a confirmation. Fine, and EA seems to have a few of these. But the rest of them are just part of the 'wonder' of the EAUI.

IMO [note, no "H" for this one!] This is one area where a simple - but complete! The two are not exclusive in this case - walkthrough by Sparx would result in a very visible improvement to the UI.
