Shortcut to Open Layout View of Currently Open Cell in New Tab

$

Hi

I'd like to add a shortcut (say F12) to Virtuoso such that when I have an arbitrary view (in particular schematic or symbol) open, the corresponding layout view opens in a new tab. As I'm new to skill, I only managed to get to the point where F12 opens a specific cell view in a new tab from a schematic:

hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "<Key>F12" "geOpen(?window hiGetCurrentWindow()~>sessionWindow ?lib \"basic\" ?cell \"GND\" ?view \"symbol\" ?viewType \"schematicSymbol\" ?mode \"r\")")

Could you help me with the following next steps:

  • How can I modify the command such that the shortcut also works from views other than schematic? Do I have to repeat the hiSetBindKey command for every view type that I'd like to support, or is there a more elegant way?
  • How can I modify the command such that it opens a specific view (in particular: layout) of the current cell?

Thanks very much!
