typing commands

Hi all,

As I am a keyboard-shortcut-lover I was wondering if it's possible to close the layer-manager with a typing command? I know you can open it with "LA". Anybody knows if you can close it in a similar way?

Thank you very much

Have you tried the ESC key?

The escape-button doesn't work but meanwhile I found it though. You can close the layermanager by typing "layerclose" (quite logic, I just didn't find out right away). By making a shortcut in the pqg-file, you don't have to type the whole word.

Thanks for your quick response eldon!

It must a version difference.

When I have my Layer Properties Manager dialogue box open, the command line is disabled, hence the use of the Escape key

It must a version difference.

In the newer versions, it depends on which manager you have open. If you have the LAYER manager open, the Esc key will not close it. But if you have the CLASSICLAYER manager open, the Esc key will close it.

Alt+F4 works for the layermanager, not if using the layerproperties palette.

Little toggle LISP:

(defun c:LA (/)
 (if (zerop (getvar 'layermanagerstate))
   (progn
     (initdia)
     (command "_.layer")
   )
   (command "_.layerclose")
 )
 (princ)
)
