Installation Guide:

1- Copy the whole 'EZ_Toolset' folder inside your nuke plugin directory. This folder is located on windows by default under ->

C:/Users/YOURUSERHERE/.nuke/

2- If you already have a 'init.py' file found in your nuke plugin directory ( /.nuke/ ), open it and add the following line of Python code ->

nuke.pluginAddPath('EZ_Toolset')

** If you can't find an 'init.py' file in your nuke plugin directory ( /.nuke/ ), you can manually create a text file, and rename it precisely as 'init.py', as '.py' is the proper file extension for the tool to install correctly. You can then paste the Python line from the previous step.

Yeah actually, you could look into Ben Dickson's Shorcut Editor and bind it through there, or if you're into Python you could manually modify the menu.py line to include a keybind like so:

u.addCommand("E Z_Backdrop", "nuke.createNod e('EZ_Backdrop' )", "ctrl+alt+b", icon="EZ_Backdrop.png")

Hope this helps, have fun!
