Is there a way to assign a keyboard shortcut to filter on non-default parameter values in the parameter window?

Thank you

It's possible with a shelf tool:


Script code
paneTab = hou.ui.paneTabUnderCursor()
if paneTab.type() == hou.paneTabType.Parm:
    paneTab.setFilterMode(hou.parmFilterMode.GraphSelectedParms)    
    
    toggle = not paneTab.filterEnabled()    
    paneTab.setFilterEnabled(on=toggle)

Currently the hou.parmFilterMode... does not match up with the menu, so you need to use the "graph selected parms" for it to select "non-default parms" I'll submit a bug report for that.

if paneTab.type() == hou.paneTabType.Parm:
paneTab.setFilterMode(hou.parmFilterMode.GraphSelectedParms)

toggle = not paneTab.filterEnabled()
paneTab.setFilterEnabled(on=toggle)

So doesn't seem to work... I mean it filters, but not on 'parameters with non-default values'...

Actually, never mind. Changed the code to:

paneTab = hou.ui.paneTabUnderCursor()
if paneTab.type() == hou.paneTabType.Parm:
paneTab.setFilterMode(hou.parmFilterMode.NonDefaultParms)

toggle = not paneTab.filterEnabled()
paneTab.setFilterEnabled(on=toggle)

You need to indent after the if:
paneTab = hou.ui.paneTabUnderCursor()
if paneTab.type() == hou.paneTabType.Parm:
   paneTab.setFilterMode(hou.parmFilterMode.NonDefaultParms)

   toggle = not paneTab.filterEnabled()
   paneTab.setFilterEnabled(on=toggle)
