Hi,
My lab has been using tkmedit, although it is deprecated, for pial edits. We resist transitioning towards freeview due to changed functionality, which I understand because freeview is used for more than just pial edits but - Are there any tools that can I am not aware of that makes freeview similar to tkmedit?
1. the main thing is the removal of keyboard shortcuts. Being able to press ctrl-G to turn on/off segmentation rapidly, and ctrl-1/2 to turn on/off the T1.mgz rapidly makes quality checking a lot faster rather than having to manually click on the volume you want to turn off. 2. likewise, being able to press x/y/z to easily switch between views (sagittal, axial etc) 3. tkmedit in my lab was configured so that right click replaced voxel intensity to zero, and wheel click replaced voxel intensity to voxel intensity of the T1.mgz (essentially restoring the original voxel intensity). Can you configure the options so that it readily does that (I understand that instead of right click it would probably be left click now)

In freeview you can use Alt+V to turn on/off a volume and Alt+C to cycle through volumes. You will find all the available functions with short cuts under “Layer” menu.
1. likewise, being able to press x/y/z to easily switch between views (sagittal, axial etc)
This can be achieved with Alt + x/y/z. All the available short cuts can be found under “View” menu.

There is an option under Tools -> Preferences -> Special Settings -> Edit to allow right click to erase a voxel.

Note also that you can use tkmeditfv to run freeview with tkmedit-like options (and more).
