Re: Keyboard shortcut for "Select Chain"?
Adrian, I tried your macro, and then I recorded one myself. Unfortunately I could not get either one to work.
After looking at the macro code in the vb editor, It appears that the macro records specific sketch & sketch segment names which will not work with different sketches. However, I could probably use the API to create code that will prompt for input so that it would work in different situations.

Re: Keyboard shortcut for "Select Chain"?
An alternative; (but more clicks than the RMB > Select Loop method)
Assign a key to the Convert Entities tool (say Ctrl E)
When in a sketch, select the face containing the required loop
Shift select an edge
Use the Covert Entities shortcut key

Re: Keyboard shortcut for "Select Chain"?
Kelvin,
I would like something that works using just sketch segments (no faces).
I thought there could be a quick answer (just what everybody wants) to my question but I see that is more involved than I thought. I don't have any experience with the API yet, but breaking it down to a series of functions similar to what you have described seems like it might work in my case.
I can, of course, continue to use the RMB "select chain"
Regards

Re: Keyboard shortcut for "Select Chain"?
If you'll notice, the RMB menu has underlines under certain characters of each command. These are usually somewhat (although not always) consistent. So there's sort of a keyboard shortcut that's accessible after a RMB.
