Gary,
Instead of using an alias use a funckey.
Example:
funckey t 'replay t.scr'
As long as you are in the workarea just type the letter "t"
and it will immediately execute without hitting the "Enter" key.
I believe the funckey command was available from Allegro 15.2.

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Re: X-Keys 20 key, any good?
Thanks for the response David. I was mainly wondering if it is worth
getting (easy to set up, reliable etc.).
One of the scripts I use is "t.scr" which turns on only top pads, etch
assemblies etc. I have "replay t" aliased to "t", so when I type "t",
Enter
it runs the "t" script. So, can the X-Key keyboard be set up to perform
both "t" and the Enter? That would be great to hit one key and have the
script run! Hmmm, maybe I should think about the 58 key instead of the 20
key.
Sure, I'm always open to ideas for scripts. I have lots of them to set up
the initial database depending on a standard format (i.e. pci, lpc, atx,
mini itx etc.) and layer count (4, 6, 8, 10). I also have several to
change
views, grids etc. I just had to bang on all of the set up scripts for them
to manual place format symbols since we went to 15.5.

Using the ~56 key one. Got some scripts if you want ideas on setting it up.
Also use another for C programming and spice - fewer syntax errors that
way.

Hey again,
So here's another one. Anybody use the Pi Engineering X-Keys 20 key
programmable supplemental keyboard? Is it easy to program, works well?
Thanks for any input.
