Greetings,

My 1-line trim keyboard shortcut is no longer working - I'm vaguely remembering a change in the way this works. My shortcut is supposed to toggle on Entity, and select the line and then pick the outside:

Code: Select allY^·^È^;^F9^F4^F1^$^$
//1-Line Trim


The menu is blank after I use it and the prompt says: click outside, but nothing happens. Am I missing something?

The status of the "Entity" toggle is controlled by a key in dcadwin.ini, so you would leave that step out of the command string.

Set the following in dcadwin.ini:

[General]
1LineTrim By Entity=TRUE


This will keep the "Entity" toggle always on.

The command string should then look like this:

Y^;^F9^F4^$^$^

Just make sure that your cursor is on the "outside" of the trim-to line when you press [Alt]+[y].
