Hotkey for Plugin?

Is there a predetermined hotkey for the maxwell plugin? Or can I create one somehow? I never really make hotkeys, kind of just always used the Modo ones. I know it is something I should really learn to save time, but I make do for now.

Thanks for any input,

Cody

No hotkey for Maxwell in modo.

For which option would you like it?

Even one just to open up the plugin. Or just for the fire. I don't know lol. Anything. I constantly am hitting f8 and f9 when I am trying to actually use fire. My brain is trained. So if I could somehow replace f8 with fire instead of preview render would be pretty awesome. but I could retrain my brain if it were something else too. Just anything is technically quicker than going up to the menu bar.

Thanks

I wish I could dock it in a window , I'd create a tab just for maxwell if I could.
Cody you can get maxwell fire in a window by the way using the card view.

I have added a doc page about shortcut key assignment, I hope it will be helpful:

Also it should be very easy to switch to Maxwell UI in any viewport:

Yeah, Thanks. I can't believe I have had modo for about a year and half and have never set my own hotkeys. Just set one for each of the plugin commands and the plugin itself. Time saver.

Thanks again
