List of Quick Drop Abbreviations?

[diarmaede]

Hi Gang,

This morning, I was looking for the quickest way to get to "Number to Decimal String" in the Quick Drop menu, but I couldn't find an abbreviation (such as "rn" to drop a property node). I few quick web searches yielded nothing helpful. Is there a list out there that shows the commonly used abbreviations for the Quick Drop menu? Or is there a way to search for abbreviation in the Quick Drop menu itself?

Thanks!

Open Quick Drop with Ctrl + Space, then click on Configure...

You get your list of QD abbrevivations and can set your on abbrevivations.

Make your own shortcut in the Quick Drop box.

Quick drop intelligently allow you to create your own shortcuts, dynamically on the fly.  Just type the name of the object with the fewest characters by focusing on the key characteristics of the function.

Here is the shortest combination for "Number to Decimal String":  "nu dec"

Great answers everybody. Thanks! I'm going to leave this open a bit longer in case anyone else has good ideas.

You can add your own custom shortcuts using the keys in LabVIEW.ini: QuickDropDiagramShortcuts and QuickDropPanelShortcuts. You can add things to this list in the format <shortcut>:Node Name;

Open your LabVIEW.ini file and take a look.
