Anyone know of a list of keyboard Shortcut Commands or how to set them up?

    If you go into Edit > Customize > Actions, they are all listed there, and you can change them by using the right-click menu.

    Here is a quick script to start from...

    var oActionMgr = MainWindow.getActionMgr();
var nActions = oActionMgr.getNumActions();
var oAction = undefined;
var sShortcut = undefined;
var aShortcuts = [];
var i = 0;

// Create a new dialog
var wDlg = new DzBasicDialog;
wDlg.caption = "Keyboard Shortcuts";

// Create a listbox
var wListBx = new DzListBox( wDlg );
wDlg.addWidget( wListBx );

// Collect shortcuts
for( i = 0; i < nActions; i += 1 ){
 oAction = oActionMgr.getAction( i );
 sShortcut = oAction.shortcut.toString();
 if( !sShortcut.isEmpty() ){
  aShortcuts.push( String("%1 = %2").arg( sShortcut ).arg( oAction.text.replace("&", "" ) ) );
 }
}

aShortcuts.sort();

// Populate the listbox
for( i = 0; i < aShortcuts.length; i += 1 ){
 wListBx.insertItem( aShortcuts[ i ] );
}

// Show the dialog
wDlg.exec();

    Just copy the contents of the code block above, paste it into a new text document in your favorite text editor and save it to a file named "Keyboard Shortcuts.dsa". Then, depending on where you save it, you can launch the script via drag-n-drop onto the viewport, double click from within the Content Library pane, a Custom Action in the Main Menu Bar or a Toolbar, etc.

    Thanks Rob, that is a very useful script. I put it in my Scripts folder in Documents, and it works great.

    It is a very handy way to learn new shortcuts too, many thanks.

    Rob's script doesn't show keyboard accelerators assigned to user made custom commands. Here's a version that does. It also changes from a listbox to an edit box so you can copy the text out.

    
// DAZ Studio version 4.6.2.118 filetype DAZ Script

var oActionMgr = MainWindow.getActionMgr();
var nActions = oActionMgr.getNumActions();
var oAction = undefined;
var oActionName = undefined;
var sShortcut = undefined;
var aShortcuts = [];
var i = 0;

// Create a new dialog
var wDlg = new DzBasicDialog;
wDlg.caption = "Keyboard Shortcuts";

// Create a listbox
var wTextBx = new DzTextEdit( wDlg );
wDlg.addWidget( wTextBx );

// Collect shortcuts
for( i = 0; i < nActions; i += 1 ){
 oAction = oActionMgr.getAction( i );
 sShortcut = oAction.shortcut.toString();
 if( !sShortcut.isEmpty() ){
  aShortcuts.push( String("%1 = %2").arg( sShortcut ).arg( oAction.text.replace("&", "" ) ) );
 }
}

// Collect custom action shortcuts
nActions = oActionMgr.getNumCustomActions();
for( i = 0; i < nActions; i += 1 ){
 oActionName = oActionMgr.getCustomActionText( i );
 sShortcut = oActionMgr.getCustomActionShortcut(i);
 if( !sShortcut.isEmpty() ){
  aShortcuts.push( String("%1 = %2").arg( sShortcut ).arg( oActionName.replace("&", "" ) ) );
 }
}
aShortcuts.sort();

// Populate the textbox
for( i = 0; i < aShortcuts.length; i += 1 ){
 wTextBx.append( aShortcuts[ i ] );
}

// Show the dialog
wDlg.exec();

    Ah, so it is. I've been looking for this.

    By chance, has anyone made an actual list of these keyboard shortcuts, such as could be printed out on paper?

    Thanks.
    ...

    (edit)

    OK, now I get it. I ran the excellent script above, and came up with a list. Thanks. :-)

    I made this table of keyboard shortcuts. Hope it helps.

    I noticed those are all camera shortcuts.  aren't there hotkeys for Twist, Bend, and Front-Back somewhere?  would speed up my work significantly not having to drag on the dials every time.

    Keep your eye on http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/scripting/api_reference/samples/start - your question apparently chimed with soemthign Rob has been thinking about and - time and the effectiveness of the result depending - he may be able to post a sample script showing how to emulate a key-driven modification (like the WASD navigation options). It probably won't be exactly what you want, but it should show the steps and functions required.

    After searching for weeks, I finally find this mention of the idea of having keyboard access to manipulate joint properties for twist, bend, front-back/up-down/side-side, etc.  Has anyone found a way to do this?  I'm stunned it wasn't baked into the ActivePose tool when it was designed.

    It would be amazing to select the ActivePose tool, click a joint, and then use arbitrarily-assignable keyboard shortcuts to spin the X, Y, and Z rings on the ActivePose globe interface. Bonus points if you can also assign keyboard shortcuts to X, Y, and Z transposition and scaling.  Bonus bonus points if there is a modifier to increase or decrease the sensitivity for these controls, both as a toggle and as a momentary modifier.

    I have a dial controller for video editing with bunch of modifier keys that can all be mapped to keyboard presses -- so if Daz Studio had keyboard functions for the above, a user could easily and naturally spin a dial to precisely pose a bunch of joints in rapid succession.
