Arrow Ctrl-Shift-S = Save As

The title says it all. I'm used to it in other programs and it doesn't appear to do anything in AC3D as it stands currently. 8)

Well, a quick trip to the File menu shows that that "shortcut" hasn't been assigned to Save As...

But what's stopping you just using the mouse and selecting it?

Control+shift+S is currently set to create a new surface.
If you really want to change this yourself and you like a quick -hack-, edit tcl/ac3dview.tcl (with Notepad or similar).

Look for:
Code:
    # VERTEX MENU
    acbind $top <Control-S> { ac3d createsurface }
replace "ac3d createsurface" with "menu_save_ac"

so you get:
Code:
    # VERTEX MENU
    acbind $top <Control-S> { menu_save_ac }
Note - all hacking disclaimers apply here

OOPS.... how could I forget that key combo is already assigned?

Sorry for speaking out of turn, Andy!

Thanks, Andy! I'll give that a shot. As for using my mouse to select it, I certainly can, but I'm always looking for ways to speed up my work-flow with keyboard shortcuts.

Be careful what you wish for. Try Blender, which is so keyboard bound as to be almost unusable... in my opinion anyway.

But I have to admit to using certain keyboard shortcuts when I'm in the midst of certain routines.
