 IMHO having a bunch of two character access keys that have nothing to do with what they're for (<J><M> for "toolpaths instead of <T> for example) is going too far.

 

To be honest, Microsoft *standard* or not, it's plain dickyrickulous!

So long as it isn't triggered by key presses while filling in fields.  Using <alt> to activate would be fine.

That shouldn't be a problem. The GUI on the other hand will take some time, but it is definetly do-able although I don't know what the exact result will look like yet..I will open a thread on the Developper forum for this topic.

I love it, but its just because i always can find what i need in a microsoft interface, it doesnt matter if i dont use Excel but once a year, when i open it i find what i need in the organized tabbed interface, just like my Microsoft word, my outlook, For me i Love the 2017/2018/2018/2020 mastercam interface, Microsofts outlook/word/excel, etc. because for me even if i am not very used to those softwares i always manage to find what i need because instead of me looking through those softwares million functions, i find the tab that sounds similar to the task i am after and when i go to that tab i  only have to look at a handful of functions and all of those functions in some way shape or form relate to the name of the tab selected. need to change a color in Mastercam or microsoft word or excel, go to the home tab, need to change a view setting in mastercam or microsoft word, go to the view tab... etc. 

 

From a poweruser standpoint, i do understand what you are saying, but from a user stand point its nice to be able to download something and actually be able to figure out how to use it, and the powerusers can customize things to some degree anyways to make it better for them specifically. 

 

thats my $.02 but i already know many of you might not agree.

The video above is an example of a type of window we could create with the windows api to house our custom drop down menus as an alternative to the ribbon bar.This could be easily implemented in mastercam for example, I have been wanting an option myself for a while to have something similar to what we had priop to mastercam 2017.
