Shortcuts: 1 For Vertex, 4 for Poly etc. What for exiting?

[Morne]

Hi all

When editing a poly you have 1-4 for vertex, edge, border, poly etc, I keep wanting to press 0 to exit the editing mode. Is there a shortcut to exit edit mode? I'ts annoying to keep clicking on top of the stack when editing LOTS of objects.

By default it's either the same key (press 1 again in vertex mode to exit it, 2 to exit edge ...) or it is 6.

the 1st lot doesn't work. But 6 works great. Thank you!

ctrl+b is the default for going to "top-level"

Much better, this one work the same for all modifiers.

Thanks

Ah Nuts
This works perfect for editable poly, but for editable mesh none of the "exit/top level" options work

Using the numbers as a toggle for subObject/Top level will work if you disable that group's shortcut in the Customize Keyboard Preferences. It's something I always do with each new install of Max because I don't use any of the custom Poly/Mesh shortcuts and hate when they override their primary shortcuts. I realize this is what the Keyboard Shortcut Override Toggle is for, but since I've never used the specific shortcut keys, I find it easier to just disable them.

Go to Customize > Customize User Preferences, then select Edit/Editable Mesh from the Group dropdown box, and uncheck the "Active" checkbox. You can do the same for Edit Poly, Editable Poly, etc. and as far as I can tell the "press the same number twice" to toggle in/out works in all object/modifier types.
