Hi houdiniks.
I have set a hotkey to the Show Translate Plane ->XZ option in the transform handler that shows the XZ plane in the translate handler.
Quite useful, the problem is that the hotkey appears in the popup menu when I RMB on the handler but when I hit the key, j in this case, nothing happens.
Anybody have tried to assign a hotkey to this feature before?
Thanks

There is an existing hotkey for this. Press Ctrl and click on the axis line that is the normal direction for the plane you want to limit yourself to. Press Ctrl and click on the center to go back to normal.

Oh! man that's another of the hidden shortcuts, is great, I don't remember if is included in the Houdini Spot book by craigm if not is a candidate to be included in a second edition.
Thanks for the tip Robert

Also in H8 I used to have hotkeys for the Transform SOP, Blast etc ….
Now many of this are done using hotkeys to tools contained in the shels.
But I haven't been able to assign a hotkey for example to the Transform SOP.
It is still possible to do this in H9.
Thanks.
