Ctrl+Shift+i to Open Icon Editor

Status: New

We are already using the shortcut Ctrl+i for opening the VI properties window.

 

But to open a VI's Icon Editor window, we do

  • Right Click on the Icon → select Edit Icon (or)
  • Double Click on the Icon

 

Think about the improvement in development speed if we have a shortcut Ctrl+Shift+i to open the Icon Editor window.

 

This will also come in handy if we are dealing with wider VI windows.

 

Current Environment takes ~2.5 seconds to open the Icon Editor

  • Move the cursor to the VI Icon (~1-2 seconds)
  • Two mouse clicks (double click) (~1 second)
  • (or)
  • Move the cursor to the VI Icon (~1-2 seconds)
  • Right click on (~1 second)
  • select Edit Icon (~1 second)

Proposed Environment will take ~1 second to open the Icon Editor

  • Press Ctrl+Shift+i (~1 second)

I double click the VI's icon (FP or BD). That opens the icon editor fast.

 

I programmed my Wacom pen's button to do a double click, so it's really 1 click for me 😊.
