Macro Unbind Numpad Shortcuts
When entering numbers, and the number input box is not properly focused, FreeCAD will react to digits by switching standard views. This macro is a quick way to re-bind the shortcuts to Ctrl+number. Doesn't help very much with entering numbers, but at least the view won't spin like crazy. Macro version: 2.0 Last modified: 2022-04-13 FreeCAD version: 0.20 Download: ToolBar Icon Author: DeepSOIC
