I have a somewhat strange question.

I was wondering if there is a shortcut key or some maxscript that can toggle on and off the lower Transform Type-In & Set Key control bar (kinda like the Time Slider & Range Slider on/off in Maya).

In Expert mode this bar is removed and I would like to do the same in Standard mode.

Anyone know what the shortcut key is or maybe the "title" name of the bar is in the customize user interface - keyboard shortcut section?

Thanks

Don't think there is one. I have hotkeys for the others...

max hide main toolbar toggle
max hide tab panel toggle
max hide command panel toggle
macros.run "Customize User Interface" "UI_TimeSlider_Toggle"
(hides the time slider)
actionMan.executeAction 0 "407"
(hides the track bar)

Thanks for the reply Posm.

Yeah I am using shortcuts for all the other UI elements. I was hoping there was a way to hide that toolbar as well. Sure wish there was. It would be awesome if max had more ways to hide and unhide UI like Maya does. I would also like to see shortcuts for viewport layout too. That would be awesome!

Hmmm, why not just use Expert mode, and toggle on/off track bar, etc? That gets rid of just that portion of the UI, and allows the other portions to be hidden/unhidden via keypresses. Only thing you absolutely can't hide is the top menu bar.
