    Hi there!

    I working on custom editor just for open some scene and play, just by only click on menu with mouse
    instead of open specific scene and click play on middle top button [>],

    so I really want to add some hot key to order this thing similar to click that menu by mouse
    I just want to know how to make an Update() in EditorWindow ?

    Thanks!!!

    This question seems to have nothing to do with Code Editors or IDEs (the subject of this sub-forum) but you tagged it Visual Studio though so I'm p

    Are you talking about Visual Studio? If so, I'm not following the EditorWindow Update has to do with it.

    If you are just asking about making a Custom Editor and doing certain things like loading a scene then yes, this is the wrong forum and I can move your post to the Scripting forum for you.

    If not, maybe you can clarify your question.

    Oh! I found the way to use keyboard command, I actually don't make an Update() or get any keys

    just by add % (key) after menu item
    such as [MenuItem("Play %g")]

    so, it mean (Ctl + g) on keyboard to make it run that code

    But if I don't want to use ctl+ ?
    I just want to press only one key, this is possible?

    and Oh! I know how to toggle 1 button to make it works,
    just use "_" +key name

    such as "_F5"
    this mean press F5 on keyboard to make it works!

    and why don't even have a list of button name for this in document?
    such as

    % is CTL
    # is Shift
    _ is only one button
    & is Alt
