I'm having an issue with custom shortcuts. When I assign one and try to use it, it only selects the tool for a split second and goes back to the previously selected tool. What is the problem?

Hi everyone, a new user is here! love 3D Coat! So I wanted to try new brushes and materials in download section, and they are like 15 GB! after I unzip them, and boy I don't have that space in my C drive, so I moved them to my external hard drive and created a shortcut and pasted it to my document where 3d coat textures and patterns are, but unfortunately 3D Coat is not reading it, it only reads when I paste the actual file, not the shortcut version, is there anyway to make this work? I learned this trick working with Zbrush, it would be nice if we can do this in 3D Coat as well! if not I can't use these awesome brushes I don't have enough space! The below image shows the shortcut version where didn't work and the actual file which works! tnx.

Hello i have this problem with 3D Coat, this is not a new thing, it has always been this way in several versions, in several computers, I'm living with this problem for +- 3 years. So, i have my Hotkey/Shortcut setup on paint room like in Photoshop, E to Erase, B to brush, etc most of the things works fine and are always saved (Common keyboard keys like , A, B, C, D, E ,F, CTRL, SHIFT, ALT...). I also use the [ to decrease radius and ] to increase radius. The problem is, 3D coat never saved shortcut ] (That i use to increase radius) and I have to set the key every time I open the software, every time I open a file, every time I reload a mesh, every time I have to do something else inside the software or when in some way i change the geometry I'm working. I know about the "Options_Hotkeys.xml" file and I have tried to change it many times but 3D Coat will always overwrite the file, even if I mark it as "Read Only". I'm in Brazil, my keyboard layout is ABNT https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_keyboard_layout and I believe 3D Coat don't have total support. Take a look at the image below, the "Decrease Radius" is set to ( ] ) even when I manually set it to ( [ ) it will always appear as ( ] ) but it will act as ( [ ). When i set the "Increase Radius" to ( ] ) the key became invisible there (but works until i do something else, load a model, open a file, close the software). I have tested with different computers, different keyboards ( All ABNT layout, the layout used in Brazil ) and I always have the same problem. I have 2 desktop computers and 1 laptop to test. Right now I'm using 3D Coat 4.7.24 on Windows 10 64bit but as i said before this was always like that, different versions of 3D coat, different versions of windows and on different computers that I had. And as I said, yes, I know about the hotkeys XML file, but that is not the Solution in my case, don't do anything unfortunately... This is something with 3D Coat and the Brazilian ABNT keyboard layout because I've tried all sorts of things and nothing solved the problem. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_keyboard_layout

It's great to see the "Official" release of 3DC. However, it wiped out all of the shortcuts I had set up all over the place. It took a long time to set those up so I had no conflicts and now they are gone. Any way to recover those?

I cant find any shortcuts for rotating, scaling and paning textures/stencils. Are there any? there is no tooltip for them.

Heya! Well, in photoshop i use ALT key a lot to pick color. Everyone knows that you can't pick color with blends cause it will alter the real color. In 3D coat we have the V shortcut (would be great if it were possible to switch it to ALT) to pick color and we have the "pipette" tool that takes a color sample of the selected layer Well, before i start painting, I like have a layer of ambient occlusion to guide me. This layer is on top always [Multiply Blend], using the V key 3d coat will pick the color result of the blending, i have to hide the AO layer and paint without it. Using the pipette tool i can pick the colors in the layer i'm working (selected layer) without pick the result of the blendig. This is very good, but using this tool i have to click on pipette, use, change the brush again...., with V key the workflow is non-stop. Is there a way to change the pick color (V shortcut) behavior to make it pick only the selected layer like the pipette tool? Create a shortcut to the pipette tool is not a solution couse it will chante the current tool and i have to select the brush again....
