LaunchUp

A Quick Launcher for SketchUp

This Plugin adds a quick launcher to search and execute commands.

You can search for native SketchUp functions as well as plugins and select them by mouse or keyboard.
Click the history/clock button to toggle a list of recently used commands that you don't need to search anymore (this can be used as a dynamic toolbar).
Search for "LaunchUp – Options" to change settings.

Recommended: SketchUp 8 M2 or higher (it works in a limited way in lower versions)

You can use these methods to query LaunchUp in Ruby code:

AE::LaunchUp.look_up(search_string=[String],length=[Fixnum])
Queries the index for seach terms and returns an Array of hashes as results. You can specify the amount of results. The resulting hash contains keys like: :name, :description, :icon, :category, :keywords, :proc, :validation_proc, :id
AE::LaunchUp.execute(identifier)
Execute a command from the index, specified by the :id obtained from look_up. It returns a boolean indicating success or failure (command not found or failed to execute).
