Add shortcut controls

[philipbelesky]

Relates to draft PR #103, i'll reproduce the intent documented there:

The use case here is both ease of access and a better ability to run things 'headless' - e.g. with the controlling computer more out of the way.

In my case I have a small numpad I'd imagined for this purpose, and might consider something like a StreamDeck for exhibition-like contexts. The keys on either of those options can be remapped to whatever, so the use of F10-F20 below is relatively arbitrary and could be made to be either more intuitive or more obscure.

I was filming a few videos of the setup the other day and this would have made things a lot easier!

[mariuszhermansdorfer]

Makes a lot os sense. Ideally, user could define the key combinations. That's relatively easy to do in Rhino, but I don't have a good idea on how to approach it in GH. Any suggestions?

[philipbelesky]

The best way I can think of would be to do some sort of pop-up modal interface that allows people to enter the remappings. That might be a bit too much effort for a relatively obscure feature though.

[mariuszhermansdorfer]

Agreed. Sounds like too much effort for the value it might potentially add.

Possibly of interest: a little demo of how a numberpad with dials can be used as a controller

Looks great! How much do these cost?

[philipbelesky]

For ones with dials they tend to be around 50-75USD, although may require some assembly or simple soldering. They tend to go in small batches or runs though - searching for a "macro pad" should bring up options. Alternately, a standard numberpad with bluetooth can also be found pretty cheap.
