Shortcut for resizing cluster

Hey guys,

 

Quick question. Does anybody know if a cluster control/indicator/constant has a keyboard shortcut associated to it?

Sometimes it's a hassle to right click and go through the shortcut menu. I want to just quickly make it look pretty Smiley Wink

 

This question arises from the fact that everytime I change/update a typedef cluster, the constant on the block diagram hides all its label 😞

Not sure if this is expected or if its a bug.

 

Thanks!

Try making it a strict typedef, then the looks will be applied also. If you still want the possibility to change items afterwards, you can change it back to a normal typedef afterwards.

The block diagram representation of typedef'd clusters has been an issue for many years.

 

(commonly referred to as 'typedef explosion')

 

I had made this suggestion many years ago:
