Re: Disable Space Bar While Drawing

I'm trying to remember how I had my Companion setup. I think it was something like:
- Assign undo and redo to left and right rocker buttons.
- Lower rocker is Shift.
- Lower two buttons are Alt and Ctrl
- Top button was to switch screens when the tablet was converted from mobile computer to desktop tablet mode. You'll probably want this if you use the Wacom Cintiq on a desktop that also has a regular monitor.
- Second from Top was probably set to Esc or 'Drop Selection' (i.e., points, shapes or bones.)
Something like that anyway. I can fire up the Companion later to double-check.
For everything else, I originally used Wacom's On-Screen Control (OSC) panel, which is an eight button on-screen panel you can configure to send almost any Moho command. If you have a Wacom tablet, OSC panels can be set up from within the Wacom Control panel. It's possible to make custom OSC panels for any of your programs and you can even make multiple panels to use for a single program.
However, for me, the problem with Wacom's OSC was that I had to create almost 3 full panels just for Moho, which was a bit much and they used up a ton of screen space, so I created MQC to hold all of my frequently used Moho commands in a single compact panel. MQC even does a couple of things I couldn't do with Wacom's OSC panels.
Anyway, MQC works great with a stylus because it's much easier to click on an ever present button than it is to dig around Moho's menus and tool options for hidden buttons. And MQC isn't just for tablet users, it works great with a mouse and keyboard too.
I'm recording an intro video tonight and, if all goes well, I'll make MQC available for download tomorrow.
BTW, you're running Moho on Windows right? MQC only works on a Windows computer. (Tested on Win 7 and up.) Sadly it won't run on a Mac but I'm sure MQC can be replicated by a Mac user. I'll make the uncompiled script available for any Mac user who want to adapt it.
