Hello! I’m having a problem were the shortcut for the X-ray mode (alt+z) isn’t working… I haven’t had an issue before, but after installing the latest version it no longer works!
I’m not sure if I need to switch something on in the Preferences or if its a bug… All my other shortcuts seem to work fine so I’m not entirely sure…
It does allow me to use other letters as shortcuts like alt+x but when I try to replace it with alt+z again it doesnt register.
Is there anything i can do to fix it?
Have you checked if you have a conflict with the Alt+z?
Probably, the shourtcut is being used by another operator… (thought we can’t know for sure without looking at your settings)
Is there a way to search up the shortcut in the preferences? Its just taking a while for me to go through all the shortcuts
Never mind i found the search bar
i didnt see it the first time, its been a while since I’ve used Blender
X-ray seems to be the only thing under that shortcut
That looks ok… Does the problem persist if you load the FactorySettings?
Yes it does
Blender version and OS?
And if possible, your ‘startup.blend’ and ‘userpref.blend’ files.
How do I find these files?
My version is 4.2.3 LTS and my OS is Windows 10
In windows, the files are in C:\Users\$YourUserName$\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\4.2\config
.
I’ve test them against my 4.2.3 version and the Alt+Z works correctly…
Is your keyboard working ok? (I’m out of ideas, by now!)
I’m pretty sure my key board works fine I mean I can use shortcuts with alt and z in them in other apps so I don’t think its my keyboard…
Its all good, Its a small issue I’ll probably find a different shortcut for X-ray mode, I just hope all my other shortcuts are working fine
Thank you for taking some time out of your day to assist me though!
Just to double check as maybe I’m misunderstanding the problem: Your viewport shading isn’t set to Material preview or rendered display preview mode is it? It needs to be in either solid mode or wireframe mode for x-ray to work. Or is it actually the x-ray button is not toggling when you use the shortcut?
