Cura: Slice when you press enter

Created on 25 Jul 2020  路  5Comments  路  Source: Ultimaker/Cura

Automatic slicing is nice, so I don't have to click it every time, but then when I want to change multiple settings at once (especially complex settings that take a while to slice) I often have to wait for it to load. It would be nice if I could just press enter to slice (just make it an option under 'slice automatically'). Imo the only thing really missing from cura right now.

Thanks

There is a hotkey for this: Ctrl+P. Like, for printing.

I think I remember previous versions had a buton to pause auto slice next to slice button

That pause/resume button is now a plugin:

I think a hotkey to start slicing (when auto slicing is turned off) would be a good addition. Perhaps Ctrl+Enter.

Well, since it's already there, I guess this can be closed.
