pymel.core.windows.nameCommand¶

nameCommand(*args, **kwargs)¶

This command creates a nameCommand object. Each nameCommand object can be connected to a hotkey. Thereafter, the nameCommand’s command string will be executed whenever the hotkey is pressed (or released, as specified by the user).

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name		Argument Types	Properties
annotation / ann		unicode
	A description of the command.
command / c		script
	The command that is executed when the nameCommand is invoked.
data1 / da1		unicode
data2 / da2		unicode
data3 / da3		unicode
	These are optional, user-defined data strings that are attached to the nameCommand object. They can be edited or queried using the assignCommand command.
default / d		bool
	Indicate that this name command is a default command. Default name commands will not be saved to preferences.
sourceType / stp		unicode
	Sets the language type for the command script. Can only be used in conjunction with the -command flag. Valid values are mel(enabled by default), and python. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.nameCommand

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Create a nameCommand object.
#
pm.nameCommand( 'circleToolNameCommand', ann='The Circle Tool', c='pm.setToolTo("circleContext")' )
# Result: u'circleToolNameCommand' #

# Now map the nameCommand to a hotkey.
#
pm.hotkey( keyShortcut='F5', altModifier=True, name='circleToolNameCommand' )
