Quicker workflow for typing values manually

Post by Full Spectrum »

Hi all,

Minor workflow suggestion:

After I manually type a value in, for example, Transition Position X = "700", I hit "enter" on my numpad to commit the transform.

I would love to do something (such as hit numpad enter again) to immediately re-enter the field to change the value again.

I find myself doing a lot of clicking/typing which slows me down. Esp when working with large position values clicking and dragging with the mouse is too slow, and it would be great to have a way to stay in the field to keep updating values.

Alternatively, what if the Shift key accelerated the dragging function?

Thanks,
David

Try using TAB to finalize the filed value, and then you can use Shift+TAB to go back

BOOM. Genius. Now with a macro on my custom keypad, I can have those two thing fire right next to my numpad and I'm flying.

Thanks, Zoltán!
