Setting Bindkeys Across Sessions Using the .cdsinit File

You can use the same key or mouse bindings for every session by adding a SKILL hiSetBindKey command to your .cdsinit file as follows:

hiSetBindKey("t_application" "t_key" "t_SKILL_cmd")

where

Arguments	Description
t_application	Specifies the name of the application or window for which you want to set a bindkey
t_key	Specifies the name of a key, key sequence, or mouse button
t_SKILL_cmd	Specifies a SKILL command

Here are some examples.

To open the Library Manager when you press F6 in the CIW, type the following command in your .cdsinit file:
```
hiSetBindKey("Command Interpreter" "<Key>F6" "ddsOpenLibManager()")
```
To open the Library Manager when you press F6 in the schematic editor, type the following in your .cdsinit file:
```
hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "<Key>F6" "ddsOpenLibManager()")
```

The best method to set bindkeys persistently is to create a file with the bindkey settings in it and load this file from the .cdsinit file.
