Reduces the amount of shortcuts needed by analysing the context
and calling the appropriate functions.

 general
info
Normally in 3ds max the shortcuts one can bind to keys are too specific.
There are different 'cut' functions (macros) for EditableMesh and
PolyMesh. Even different functions for the sublevels.
The result is different hotkeys/shortcuts for the same thing!
The macros in 'smartShortcuts' represent one operation - regardless
of the context. They do analyse the context and call the appropriate
internal functions for operation.
The result is one hotkey/shortcuts for the same function, nevertheless
on which type of mesh the user works on. Or on which type of sublevel
the user wants to use the operation.
Therefore the amount for assigning keys to macros/functions is reduced.
installation
Maybe after downloading the filename is 'smartShortcuts.mzp.zip'
instead of 'smartShortcuts.mzp'. Just rename it correctly.
Start Max4.x.
Select 'run maxscript' from MAXscript in your main menu bar. Choose
"smartShortcuts.mzp".
You can find the script in the category 'smartShortcuts' and assign
keys to the functions available there.
