Hey guys,
There used to be a keyboard shortcut to group a node, now I dont see any options other than context click group.
Bonus question. Is there a way to create a keyboard shortcut to group a node with “Display>Thumbnail” turned off?
Thanks,
Fegan
Bump. Still really really annoyed by not having the ability to have a keyboard shortcut for group node.

2. Turn your script into a registered action
If you’ve written a Python script and added it to the contextual menu, you can also register it as a Flame Action so it shows up in the Hotkey Editor.
Example (inside your script):
def get_main_menu_custom_ui_actions():
return [
{
'name': 'Custom Scripts',
'actions': [
{
'name': 'Do Something Cool',
'execute': do_something_cool,
'isVisible': lambda: True,
'hotkey': 'Ctrl+Shift+D'
}
]
}
]
def do_something_cool(selection=None):
print("Hotkey or menu triggered!")
Note: The hotkey key in metadata doesn’t bind it in Flame’s UI editor, but if you register it as an action, it becomes available in the Hotkey Editor , where you can assign your own shortcut.
