Keyboard shortcuts and macros

  • itsmestephanie by itsmestephanie

    Thought I'd share this in case other people out there are getting bored of clicking:

    • Numbers 1-7 on keyboard (not on number pad) = select different animals (condor = 1, turkey vulture = 2, etc.)
    • Enter = clicking "Next"
    • For Raven, Carcass & Something Else, clicking 'Next/Done' isn't really necessary, only useful to make the zoom disappear;
    • For other animals, once chosen: (1) space-bar selects "within reach", (2) up/down arrow keys select the other options;
    • In Condor, tab will move you to the other options and the spacebar will select the option you want. This is not terribly useful except to record a macro.
    • Space bar = clicking "Done"

    Thanks to this:

    • Ravens can be marked quickly - click/4/click/4... especially if
      ravens are spread across the image so that there's always one you can
      mark that's not behind the zoom;
    • You can record a macro (many macro softwares available for free) for example to select black/underline/juvenile, and attribute it to a
      function key.
    • With as end result, every time you see a
      black/underline/juvenile on a carcass, you click on it, type 1-enter-spacebar-tab, type in the number, then (in my case) F8
      and you're done.
