hey there - i realize that i should be posting this in the 1.5 forum but seeing as there's only one post in there and it's more than a year old i figured i'd have better luck here... anyway my question is pretty small: is there any way to change the default hot keys in HS 1.5? i can't seem to do it...
i'd really like to change em...
let me know.

Hi!
There is no user-friendly way of setting the keyboard shortcuts.
There are two user defaults settings: bringToFrontHotKey and bringToFrontAndCreateHotKey
Both keys point to dictionaries with the following keys: modifiers and keyCode
The default values are:cmdKey+controlKey, respectively cmdKey+optionKey+controlKey and 124
The constants are defined as follows in Events.h:
Code: cmdKey = 1 << cmdKeyBit,
shiftKey = 1 << shiftKeyBit
controlKey = 1 << controlKeyBit
where
Code: cmdKeyBit = 8, /* command key down?*/
shiftKeyBit = 9, /* shift key down?*/
optionKeyBit = 11, /* option key down?*/
controlKeyBit = 12, /* control key down?*/
Best,
Pierre Bernard

Hi!
These key codes are numeric values. E.g. command key is 2^8 = 128.
I'd suggest you use Plist Editor to add the bringToFrontHotKey and bringToFrontAndCreateHotKey dictionaries to the HoudahSPot preferences file.
Best,
Pierre Bernard
