Supercharged H20 extension (TouchDesigner Style) Nov. 14, 2025, 9:23 a.m.
2-3. I pushed a new update just now. Please try this build.
4. Sorry I mean if you look inside HOUDINI_USER_PREF/animatrix/hotkey system/nodegraphhooks.py, alot of hotkeys are listed there including "=== Scene View Hotkeys ===" so those should be the ones in the code.
5. That behaviour is defined inside HOUDINI_USER_PREF/animatrix/generic/python3.11libs/utility_ui.py
These lines have to be removed or commented out like this #comment.
It's possible this could be exposed as a setting in the pythonrc.py of hotkey system folder.
6. DASH is created by @probiner.
7. No worries.

Hi,
1. There is no Shift+RMB combo. I just tried it, it zooms as default. So it's possible other add-ons you are using might be causing this override.
Houdini itself is not really designed to have multiple add-ons that override the same mechanisms, i.e. AFAIK you can't have multiple packages each overriding nodegraphhooks.py. I am not familiar with DASH but @probiner would know more.
There is override for Alt+RMB on nodes for example.
2. F3 shows Toggle Point Numbers on my build. It's possible the last build updated is not the latest. I will push a new update to sync to latest.
3. F5 is correct. It's "Toggle Prim Numbers".
4. - "hotkeys.csv" the line for F5 is "op:attribcopy|fn:toMatrix3OrFloat(uievent)|op:sopvectorfield". So was the command changed after the documentation or is it not registered for me because wrong installation? What F5 does for anybody else who uses supercharged?
hotkeys.csv is only for the network editor. The other hotkeys you mentioned for function keys are listed under "=== Scene View Hotkeys ===". They are defined by the supercharged.shelf.
5. - There are also a lot of errors with working on overlay network, for example sometimes it loads with tabs hidden, and sometimes with shown but collapsed.
That should be based on the full screen state. In fullscreen everything is collapsed, i.e. stowbars.
6. For DASH_SingleMonitor I have to see what it is doing. Where did you download that? @probiner might know more why it happens because it happens when you use that action. Do you get the same error with other desktops? I have to try this.
7. To keep only context-sensitive rule-based hotkeys, you can rename or delete HOUDINI_USER_PREF/animatrix/overlay network editor/python3.11libs/pythonrc.py
That's the code that initialized the overlay network editor. There are some people who use the hotkey system alone, since they are independent systems.

Hi,
Yes I heard some users had some hotkey conflicts with odtools. Videos were deleted by vimeo. I plan to make a new one as they were outdated also.
You can watch this video for some of the workflow (from 32:00 or so):
There is also some documentation inside HOUDINI_USER_PREF/animatrix/hotkey system/nodegraphhooks.py.
As for moving Houdini from one monitor to another, there is no such action built-in. But if you are in fullscreen mode, simple exit fullscreen, move the application and then toggle fullscreen again. I could probably make some action about it but Qt fullscreen has some issues on some systems i.e. when using Intel drivers, etc.
As for clean up, just remove the json files from the packages folder somewhere else, and nothing should load up on start up.
