Shortcut for switching between landscapes

> First of all, thanks for this amazing software. I would like to use it in an educational setting, but I need to simplify the GUI - ideally to a set of buttons - landscape 1, landscape 2 etc, + time forward and time back. I see that there are shortcut buttons for several functions, eg time, which I can map easily. Can any one help me as to how I might simply switching landscape down to something hotkey-able?

A quick solution: writing few scripts to loading one landscape in each one script and assign shortcuts for these scripts. Stellarium doesn't have a special shortcust for choose landscapes or sky cultures.

> Additionally, in landscapes I click 'Position from Landscape' but this setting is never remembered. Any clues? 0.21.3 so possibly an upgrade will fix.

Did you save the settings after changes settings?

Thank you!
I did not realise I had to exit the landscape dialogue and save the settings else where.
I will look into scripting, its good to know a short cut can be assigned.
All the Best,
Sarah

So, re: loading landscapes from short cut keys... I have spoken to our coder human, and he says: "The problem is, the scripting interface doesn't actually have keyboard input so that makes things tricky"

Can anyone help here? Is there a work around?
This was the suggestion from Alex Wolf above:

You must read more carefully. Write a few scripts that switch landscapes and assign them to hotkeys. This does not involve reading keypresses from inside of scripts which is in fact not available.

Will rephrase: Can't see anything in the documentation that would allow us to trigger a script to run from a shortcut/hotkey? How do we assign a shortcut/hotkey to a script?

Could some kind person point us in the right direction?

We are both heavily dyslexic so its possible we have missed it

Thanks!

Hi,
Still looking for help if anyone is able?

Thank you!

A few scripts in default package already have assigned shortcuts/hotkeys - see western_constellations_tour.ssc script for example. Other way - press F7 (Shortcut Editor) and assign the hotkey.

In the Stellarium User Guide you may see these suggestions in section 4.8 and chapter 17.

I want to use it in a classroom, but I need to simplify the user interface (GUI). Ideally, there should only be a set of buttons for landscape 1, landscape 2, etc., plus forward and backwards. I can quickly map the shortcut buttons I see for many other functions, such as time. Can somebody tell me how I can just change the landscape to anything on this page? https://opportunitiesinfo.com/
