Thanks, just what I though. I guess I'll have to include a few wrappers.

Re: add command to hotkey

Directly - no.  You'll have to hack into the keyboard preferences file to 
add arguments, but doing so would be risking corruption as those files are 
really finicky, and even if you don't corrupt the file, chances of getting 
the functionality you want are pretty low.

Your primary option is to write a self installing command with several 
wrapper functions, exposed as registered commands, containing fixed argument 
lists matching what you want.  Users map their hotkeys to call the wrappers. 
When the wrappers are called, they call the main plugin with their fixed 
argument lists.  The main plugin is the brains that does the usual 
validation and error checking.  If the main plugin is a native Softimage 
command, then you only write the wrappers in your self installing plugin.

To: "softimage@listproc.autodesk.com"

Hi, this may be a pretty basic question but is it possible to add a Command
with arguments to a hotkey ?

Like:
command ( "arg1", "arg2")

Or do I have to create a custom command for every combination if I want to
make them "hotkeyable" ?

Thanks

Martin
