Can we get a button to click that turns off triggers, and one that turns off aliases? the idea comes from zmud, you click on the little gun and it disables triggers (while putting a red X over the gun) and a little computer (i think) that disables aliases. Maybe a clock too to disable timers? i dont remember seeing a button to turn off timers on zmud but its been awhile.

If not a button to click...how bout a command for those 3? ctrl+whatever, or ctrl+shift+whatever......sorry if this exists in some form and i have yet to find it. (and icons to let you know whats off still sound good even if you cant disable/enable the things by clicking them)

In the trigger configuration list is a checkbox "Enable triggers". If you uncheck that they are all disabled. Same for aliases and timers.

I'm confused, is it really that hard to go into the menu first? Is turning on/off triggers/aliases/etc by hand something you do that often?

Three new buttons on the World Toolbar might indeed be nice. They'd toggle respectively Triggers, aliases and timers (of the world, not plugins) off. Pretty much a visual indicator of the checkboxes in the Configuration screen.

I wouldn't use them myself, but I can see how people need them.

I actually think that too many buttons that do obscure things reduces functionality rather than adding to it, because you get "button clutter".

You can make a couple of aliases to enable and disable triggers, like this:


<aliases>

  <alias
   match="disable_triggers"
   enabled="y"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>
SetOption ("enable_triggers", 0)
ColourNote ("white", "orangered", "Triggers disabled.")
</send>
  </alias>

  <alias
   match="enable_triggers"
   enabled="y"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>
SetOption ("enable_triggers", 1)
ColourNote ("white", "green", "Triggers enabled.")
</send>
  </alias>

</aliases>

Now if you want to, you can make an accelerator or macro call those aliases with a single keypress. You could also update the info bar (if you aren't using it for anything else) with a message saying whether or not triggers are enabled.

A bit of copying and pasting, and a couple of minor changes, and you can do similar things for aliases and timers.
