Go to Plugin PageAs a competitive StarCraft 2 player (a mechanically very demanding game), I was frustrated with how inefficient navigating around while designing was. I don’t expect many people to find this useful, but I made it because:
- I wanted to use it for myself (this is a direct port from SC2, but with non-conflicting hotkeys)
- I wanted to learn how to create Sketch plugins
Requirements
- Sketch 3.8+ to use “Follow Camera on Selection”, but 3.0+ for the rest
Installation
From a release (best)
- Download the latest release of the plugin
- Un-zip
- Double-click on
sketch-camera-hotkeys.sketchplugin
From the source
- Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/jayhxmo/sketch-camera-hotkeys.git - Install dependencies
npm install - Build
npm run build - Double-click on
sketch-camera-hotkeys.sketchplugin
Customizing Shortcuts and Maintaining the Project
Clone and install the dependencies
git clone https://github.com/jayhxmo/sketch-camera-hotkeys.git && npm install
You may need to run
npm install -g skpm && npm run postinstall
Modifying manifest.json
This is where all shortcuts are defined. Because of the sheer amount of Create / Jump To Camera Location scripts, you can run the below to generate manifest.json. Make sure to modify generate-manifest.js instead of src/manifest.json, as the below script will overwrite src/manifest.json.
node generate-manifest
Modifying Create / Jump To Camera Location
src/CreateCamera.js and src/JumpToCamera.js are “templates”, with src/camera/*.js generated by running
node generate-camera-files
or
./generate-camera
Watching and Building
To watch and compile on changes, run the below. Note that you may need to manually save changes to src/manifest.json after generating it to make sure it is picked up and updated in the compiled Sketch plugin.
npm run watch
To build, run
npm run build
