So, the problem here is that our examples are auto-generated off of Autodesk's examples, from here: http://download.autodesk.com/global/docs/maya2013/en_us/PyMel/generated/functions/pymel.core.windows/pymel.core.windows.overrideModifier.html ...which are also incorrect, in the same ways:
1) it's double-quoting the command 2) it's never assigning the release command, but just the press command twice.
This should "work":
nameCommand -annotation "Alternate Alt-press modifier key" -command "overrideModifier -press Alt" alternateAltPressCommand; nameCommand -annotation "Alternate Alt-release modifier key" -command "overrideModifier -release Alt" alternateAltReleaseCommand; hotkey -keyShortcut "a" -name "alternateAltPressCommand"; hotkey -keyShortcut "a" -releaseName "alternateAltReleaseCommand";
...however, it seems that you still can't use the overrideModifier command to affect the window-navigation behavior... =/
If you want to get either the example fixed, or make the overrideModifier affect window-navigation, you'll need to go through autodesk, so I'm closing this bug...

Hi, I run this script I got from this page (first example): http://download.autodesk.com/global/docs/maya2013/en_us/PyMel/generated/functions/pymel.core.windows/pymel.core.windows.overrideModifier.html And it doesn't seem to work.
I'm using Maya 2014 I'm working on Windows 7 Professionnal Service Pack1 64bit
I don't know which version of PyMEL I'm using. Where should I look for this?
The expected output is to get the "s" key, in maya, to act like the "Alt" key (navigation tool). It seems to have no effect other than giving me this message:
// Error: "overrideModifier -press Alt"; // // Error: Line 1.29: Syntax error // // Error: "overrideModifier -press Alt"; // // Error: Line 1.29: Syntax error //
Here is the code I'm trying to run:
import pymel.core as pm
import maya.cmds as cmds
Example 1.
#
Map the "a" key such that it behaves just like the "Alt" key.
# pm.nameCommand( 'alternateAltPressCommand', annotation='"Alternate Alt-press modifier key"', command='"overrideModifier -press Alt"' )
Result: u'alternateAltPressCommand'
pm.nameCommand( 'alternateAltReleaseCommand', annotation='"Alternate Alt-release modifier key"', command='"overrideModifier -release Alt"' )
Result: u'alternateAltReleaseCommand'
pm.hotkey( keyShortcut='s', name='alternateAltPressCommand' ) pm.hotkey( keyShortcut='s', releaseName='alternateAltPressCommand' )
Anyone has any idea?
Thanks.
