how to unload from transport?
« on: November 03, 2010, 11:11:00 am »
i can't seem to use any of the 'special unload menu'

with the transport selected, i pressed leftctrl, or shift or alt it just won't work.

i had to assign my own unload key under 'with selection' tab of the control settings. What am i doing wrong?

Here's the default binding:

Quote
                case KeyBind.OpenSpecialUnload:
                    binding.InputContext = InputContext.WithSelection;
                    binding.KeyboardKey = KeyCode.U;
                    binding.KeyboardModifierKey1 = KeyCode.LeftControl;

You can also right-click the "Unload" button that shows up near the bottom-right-hand corner of the screen to open the special unload menu.

And you can left-click that button to just do the default unload-everything without messing with the special menu.

OH..i didn't notice there's an unload button on the bottom left and could be right clicked.

btw, how do i access this special menu without right clicking on the button? is it possible to press some shortcut keys while I'm selecting my transport?

:)

That's not exactly english, though, so: Ctrl+U when you have a transport selected.
