Top of stack shortcut ?

Does anyone know if there is a keyboard shortcut to go to the top of the stack ??
My main frustration is that when I want to select another object I have to go up and click out of sub-object level (which is logical I know). For example from "Face" sub-object to "Editmesh"
But it would greatly help my workflow if someone knew a shortcut.

Sorry if my question seems dumb but I've just moved over from another application.

Thanks

There is a "Sub-Object>Top Level" action in the QuadMenu, but it is sorely missing from the Customize>Keyboard list of ActionItems.
At least I couldn't locate it.

As an alternative, you can copy & paste the code below to a new MAXScript editor window (MAXScript>New Script) and press Ctrl+E. This will give you two new ActionItems you can assign shortcuts to by going to Customize>Customize UI>Keyboard, "Modifier Stack" category.
Select the items in the category list and assign shortcuts as usual.

---------------------------------
macroScript StackObjectLevel
category:"Modifier Stack"
tooltip:"Go To Object Level"
(
subObjectLevel = 0
)

macroScript StackTopLevel
category:"Modifier Stack"
tooltip:"Go To Top Modifier"
(
subObjectLevel = 0
select selection
)
-------------------------------

The first one just exits the sub-object mode and stays in the current object/modifier.

The second exits the sub-object mode and jumps to the top of the stack (if you have a base object and 3 modifiers like Bend, EditMesh, Twist from bottom to top, it will jump to the Twist on top.

If you are not in the modifier panel, they do nothing.


Hope this helps.
