Igor 8 Shortcut to Graph Browser

Share icon

Hi guys,

I'm usually dealing with a great amount of graphs in Igor and therefor I'm using the Graph Browser excessively... 

Is there a shortcut for the graph browser that I'm not aware of? Is there a way to set one?

It would makes things so much more handy, just as the CMD+J and CMD+B commands save you much time when you're manually playing with waves in the command window...

Best
menu "Windows"
    submenu "Packages"
        // edit shortcut here:
        "Window Browser/5", DoIgorMenu "Windows","Window Browser"
    end
end

Igor 8 comes with a new built-in Window Browser, which includes most of the functionality of the procedure based Graph Browser as well as a lot of other functionality. You can use tony's suggestion to create a shortcut key for the browser, or you can also use the tool bar button on Igor's main toolbar (also new in Igor 8). Use the Windows->Show Toolbar menu item if you don't see the toolbar.

thanks for the tip tony.  

when working on a laptop it's often convenient to avoid mouse usage.

Or you could edit your Igor Pro 8.ini file to have this:

[KeyboardShortcuts]
1\MenuAndItemNames="Windows;Window Browser"
1\ShortcutInWindowsFormat=Ctrl+5
size=1

You can get the MenuAndItemNames list from the SetIgorMenuMode.ipf file (see the WMProcedures Index help file).
