Global — they fire anywhere in TouchDesigner. Shortcuts scoped to a single panel are a local control scheme and are not listed here.
- Alt+V
Clipboard Image Paste
Windows only! Implemented by Dotsimulate, integrated by Function Store
Copy an image to your clipboard and paste it directly in TD with alt+v shortcut
- You will be met with three options (hotkeys 1,2,3): 🟢 Paste as Movie File In, 🔵 Paste as locked Script TOP, 🟠 Paste as Annotate
- When pasting as Movie File, the image also gets saved in the folder specified by the tool's own Save Folder parameter (default:
clipboard_images) 📂 - The other two options will produce a locked TOP which increases your
.toefile size but avoids external dependencies - ❗ WINDOWS ONLY — if anyone knows of a native Mac solution (not using external Python libs), let us know!
