keyboard hotkey space bar in 4.0?

Michael - I couldn't agree more about middle mouse push - that combined with wheel zoom and the space bar toggle

PG - I think you need the ini file fix to get the spacebar toggle back to how it used to be - ie press space bar and keep pressed you are in selector tool, release spacebar and you are back in the tool you were in before

As far as I know that precise behaviour cannot be done with the customise key short cuts - it requires two keystrokes to toggle

sometimes that is more useful - but mostly I prefer the first

A small observation: when saving the .ini file, the default destination to save into is My Documents - but the path for the My Documents folder appears to have been hardcoded as c:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents - it's not using the actual path for My Documents

(ie I have changed the location of My Documents to be at E:\Docs\ so they are stored on a different disc from the OS, but Xtreme still opens the original location.)

I haven't touched my ini file. All I did was use the Customize Key Shortcuts menu option to chage the Space Bar to toggle between the selector tool and another tool. Works fine for me (I am using XtremePro 4.0).

I can press and release the Space Bar to switch between the selector tool and the last tool used. Also, when I am using a tool, I can hold down the Space Bar to switch to the selector tool to select another object or to move the current object. When I release the Space Bar, I am back using my last tool.

In XXP3 there was a standalone shortcut program to redefine the Space Bar (and other keys) to work like it did in previous versions. Version 4 just incorporated that feature inside the main program.

If you dont have PRO the .ini file is the only option.

I dont think that's true. As far as I am aware V3.2 and V4 work just the same in this regard.

PG - yes got it - must have messed it up and mis-keyed first time - thanks for the clarification
