This script runs a script / changes a setting when you click on one of the edges of the UI (left, right, top) and even provides for alternates when pressing left/middle/right button and ctrol/shift/alt keyboard.

 

When you first run this script nothing is displayed on the screen. It doesn't have a UI per se, it just "works" after you run it.

For example:
Double-click the right edge of the screen.
Was the viewport max/min toggle executed?

39 commands are allocated in it by using together with the Ctrl/Shift/Alt key.
(Though it is confused when it is too a lot of)

You can operate it without avoiding eyes from object, as for you, work efficiency will rise.

Please look at the source code about the method of customizing.
sorry 4 my bad english.Thank you.
