Pretty straightforward. Looking to assign "New Toolpath Group" to a keystroke.
This command only seems to exist inside the right-click menu of the Toolpaths Manager. Is it possible to assign it to a keystroke? I'll even accept some modifications or workarounds.
I do a lot of updating old programs (not through all 4000 yet), they usually have the OPs unorganized. I'll be lucky if G54 and G55 have separate groups, usually just divided by a comment.
So naturally I need to organize them when I open one up, and making multiple toolpath groups is a pain in the patoot. And at speed, I have often clicked "cut" on the way to the Groups flyout. There is no dialogue box or anything, your toolpaths are just poofed, and the red arrow now lives in the last group you made, so good luck pasting them back in the right spot. Anyways, kind of a long road, but that's the deal. A "New Toolpath group" shortcut would be useful.
