Can I remove Smooth shortcut key(Ctrl+Shift+S) of imageJ/FIJI?

[S-JANG]

Hi everyone,

I want to remove one of the built-in-shortcut keys of FIJI or assign it for another function.

Is there any way to remove the Smooth shortcut key(Ctrl+Shift+S) or assign it for ‘Save as PNG’ to prevent Smoothing my image by mistake?

Sometimes out of habit, I press ‘Ctrl+Shift+S’ to save my image in a different name in FIJI, not in Microsoft Office.

Please help. Thank you very much.

I tried as follows to override the built-in shortcut but it does not work.

macro “SaveAsPNG [S]” {
saveAs(“png”);
}

It only works when I press ‘Shift+S’.

‘Ctrl+Shift+S’ still smoothing my image.

Creating / Removing Shortcuts

Hello, Is there a way to remove application default shortcuts in order to assign those shortcuts to custom commands? I know I can use the Plugin -> Shortcuts -> Remove Shortcuts, but this seems to only let me remove shortcuts that I assign and not any of the default shortcuts. The problem is that there are very few keys left to assign shortcuts to and I’d like to use specific keys, but they aren’t available because they are being used for something else. -Mike

Hi,
I’m not sure there is a way to remove a builtin shortcut, but here is a trick you could use to achieve the desired behaviour with a plugin that implements the CommandListener interface and checks if the shift key is pressed, so it is triggered by the shortcut but does not disable the ‘Smooth’ menu command:
See also the full command listener example at https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/plugins/download/misc/Command_Listener.java

import ij.*;
import ij.plugin.*;

public class Remove_Smooth_Shortcut implements PlugIn, CommandListener {

   public void run(String arg) {
      if (IJ.versionLessThan("1.39l")) return;
      Executer.addCommandListener(this);
   }
   public String commandExecuting(String command) {
       if (command.equals("Smooth")&&IJ.shiftKeyDown())
         return("PNG..."); 
      return command;
   }
}
